Basically i'm doing a public service course at college and interested in joining the forces in a few years time, now i have spoken to a careers advisor and have been told that you will not be eligible to enrol with stretched ears until the hole has reverted to the size of a standard piercing, so i was just wondering how high can you go before it is irreversible and if any how long roughly until the specific size reverts back to near closed.

Just to clarify i dont have my ears pierced so no digs :roll:

Cheers

    Just don't do it in the first place, that way you don't have to look like a retard either.
  • I'm not intending on getting it done, just trying to clarify before asking strangers in the street lol

    For a more sensible answer, please look below.

    Stretched ears must be considered as a permanent body modification (like tattoos) as there is no guarantee that the piercing will shrink back down. That said, being sensible and stretching wisely the majority of stretched piercings will close up. Most 'experts' suggest going no larger than 6-8mm if you want it to return to something of a normal size (1.2-1.6mm)

    If you need any advice on sensible stretching, feel free to Pm me
  • Oh okay, thanks for the reply and the offer :wink:

    My tunnel was only 8mm, it looked normal after about a week.

    A friend who I did training with was in a band and had 16mm tunnels. His ears did not shrink back to normal, it looked pretty silly with gaping holes in his ears. But he was still able to join the army.
  • Thank you how long did you have the 8mm hole for?
  • Ohhh okay, appreciate it

    You could just cut the lobe off then there would be no hole. Problem solved :mrgreen:

    It would also make you look hard and a tawt rather than just a tawt.

    It makes you wonder about the Armys' thinking when they stop you joining because of a couple of small holes when their whole reason for wanting you is to get you full of holes in combat.
    I'm going to blow the bank on a new build ( within reason ) NOW DONE!!

    Torn lobes don't make you look hard, they just make you look an impatient tawt

    I'm with Richie63 on this. If the army don't let you in, just tell them they're bulletholes.

    Well maybe you were trying to shoo the apple off someone's head, and the guy with the holes in his ears was stood behind you?

    Or bomb craters.

    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.
  • Results from a mortar attack. I personally think the whole hole in your ears thing is so gay. What's the point, just makes you look retarded and like it's a penis holder.

    you'd have to be a pretty bad aim with a dick to miss and get it in an ear hole i reckon.
