[QUOTE=Herr Sven;27150306]In my opinion you have the right to do so. It is [U]your[/U] body, after all. You'll still look like a douchebag, however.[/QUOTE] I agree with this statement
[QUOTE=johan_sm;27150374]Also op do it. One less idiot = one more free workplace for actually good people[/QUOTE] Because fashion choices dictate the goodness of a person :downs:
The legal age to get pierced is 16 in the UK. However, that don't mean shit, because your parents can legally prevent you from doing almost anything. Have a nice day.
[QUOTE=ThisGuy0;27150585]Because fashion choices dictate the goodness of a person :downs:[/QUOTE] Define: Fashion the latest and most admired style in clothes and cosmetics and behavior Define: Mutilation Mutilation or maiming is an act or physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of any living body, usually without causing death.
I'm not sure about any laws, but you'll look like a douche in the end. Wait, do it, you are a douche.
Degrades appearance in your opinion. Doesn't detract from my point though.
[QUOTE=ThisGuy0;27150585]Because fashion choices dictate the goodness of a person :downs:[/QUOTE] So if in the future cutting off your arms counts as fashion, it will be ok too? If you mutilate your body it shows signs that you're not 100% stable.
i always thought gauges would make sense if they we're like exactly as big as a pencil, so you could put a pencil trough your ear, thats bound to make someone laugh. otherwise you'll look like a rebellious hipster teenager, and probably be one too.
[QUOTE=johan_sm;27150892]So if in the future cutting off your arms counts as fashion, it will be ok too? If you mutilate your body it shows signs that you're not 100% stable.[/QUOTE] That's a terrible comparison to make considering removing a limb would have a negative effect on the functionality of your body, whereas plugs have almost no practical effect. Besides, if we use your definition of mutilation, surely any kind of piercing, however minor, would also be considered mutilation?

Unless you're in full time education they can kick you out of the house if they wanted, I think so anyway not sure what the law is now,
[QUOTE=Takoto;27147994]I didn't ask for anybodies opinion on stretching ears I just asked about the legality of my dad stopping me doing so, thanks to those who have answered what I actually asked.[/QUOTE] Whether you wanted it or not, thats what you get, remember, this is facepunch you will get an opinion even if you dont want it
[QUOTE=Takoto;27147962]I think they look good and it's my body.[/QUOTE] They look shit, but it's your body and my opinion. Anyway, while criminal responsibility falls on anyone at the age of 12 (in the UK), your parents have legal control of you until you are 18.
Almost everyone in this thread is a complete idiot except the OP. If he wants to do it he's going to do it no matter how many people bitch.
Have fun when you're older and look stupid as fuck and your kids fail their grades because their dad is so stupid. [editline]2nd January 2011[/editline] That is baring the slight possibility that any female is even willing to have your sperm donation injected inside her.
I have 3 friends who got these tunnels when they were 16 to 18 ish. We are 23 to 24 now and they all got rid of them.

[QUOTE=BassB;27151287]we can't leave witouth trying to get it out of his head, because fp are good people.[/QUOTE] If he's asking if his parents can stop him I'm pretty sure he's already thought it over.

Everyone is over-exaggerating about the damage to his ears, you have to go above a certain size (which is pretty big) before they don't heal shut. There will be scar tissue though, can't avoid that shit.
[QUOTE=Mac2468;27151555]Everyone is over-exaggerating about the damage to his ears, you have to go above a certain size (which is pretty big) before they don't heal shut.[/QUOTE] they'll never heal as good as they were. unless you go trough expensive surgery, in wich case you might aswell not have done it. no one is over exaggerating, except op about his need for holes in his ears.
He never said how big he was doing it, because he said the word stretch it automatically means he's going this big: [img]http://exploreplasticsurgery.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/plastic-surgery-repair-of-ear-gauging-indianapolis-dr-barry-eppley.jpg[/img] amirite?

[QUOTE=Takoto;27147925]I live in England, and here the legal age to pierce your ears is 16, I currently have a lobe stretched to [B]6mm and have purchased tapers to get me to 10mm[/B], but my dad got really mad and said I'm not allowed to go any bigger. If I go against him anyway, can he actually do anything?[/QUOTE] so yeah it basically does, or really close at least.
That picture is bigger than one centimeter. 1cm would heal shut on it's own.
[QUOTE=Mac2468;27152122]That picture is bigger than one centimeter. 1cm would heal shut on it's own.[/QUOTE] i said it's a centimeter and a half. and a centimeter is not going to heal witouth leaving a really nice deep scar and very saggy earlobe, and besides i doubt op is going to stop at 10 mm
He's mad cause his song is a pussy faggot who's trying to wear ear jewelry. Or are you a girl? In that case, what are you doing on Facepunch?
Stretched earlobes look horrible and stink terribly regardless of how large they're stretched. Hold off until you're 18 and realise what a colossal mistake you've avoided.
Stretch your anus instead
[QUOTE=sam6420;27152931]I had straws through my ears at one point... A spacer is no different from an earring, you're destroying your body (Ear lobe) in order to make a sparkly diamond-y thing flash out of it, the only difference with a spacer is that you don't want a diamond, you're getting a see through earring... Eh I'm not good at expression opinions, I just find that both are similar and people who think spacers are "Stupid" should really look at the other things people do to "look hot" in comparison to spacers, it's not that big of a difference.[/QUOTE] If you remove an earring, the hole heals by itself. If you remove a "spacer" then your earlobe hangs like an old man's balls. Also, if it's really big then it won't heal.

Use the "Rule of 7." If something you want is over 7 dollars, wait 7 days and ask 7 trusted people whether this is a good purchase. Then buy it if you still think it is a good idea. This rule will curtail impulse buying. As you get more financially secure and have a larger disposable income, you can gradually increase the threshold upward from 7 dollars
