Honestly…peer pressure. I am allergic to any kind of actual earrings. Going with wood plastic or silicone was the way to go for me and it hurts but I liked it :)
I stretched my ears for the first time back when I was 16. I’m now 28 and have re-stretched to 0g. I missed feeling like me. Piercings and crazy hair color is just who I am!
When I first guaged my ears, I was really young. It was different and not many people had them. It was intreaging and bold. I liked the style and the fact that it was uncommon.
When stretching was originated, it was to show how much you’ve achieved in your life. New accomplishment- bigger size. When I learned of its origin I began to follow the same code.
As a single mom, I do everything for my daughter. But I’m stretching my ears just for myself, and I am enjoying the journey so much!
