Title: Tunnels Post by: walrus on Monday, September 11, 2006, 20:41:05 I'm going to get berated for this, but I'm thinking of getting tunnels in my ears.... just small ones mind. This comes after getting a tattoo on Friday, thinking I'm losing it....
1). Is it painful? 2). How is it done? 3). Could they close up if I took them out? 4). I'm cool. Title: Tunnels Post by: hansgruber on Monday, September 11, 2006, 20:42:15 getting what now?
Title: Tunnels Post by: DV on Monday, September 11, 2006, 20:46:15 getting tunnels in your ears might be a good idea, then maybe someone can have a look through to see if there is a brain between 'em

Pic of tattoo though please...

2) with a holepunch 3) with a horrible pussy scab, yes... 4) hmmmmmmmmmmm.... Title: Tunnels Post by: Chubbs on Monday, September 11, 2006, 20:59:56 1- is it painfull? No, just a normal bog standard ear peircing, normaly staring with a 1.6mm ring
2- How is it done? Through time and patience. You start of with a normal 1.6mm peircing you then take it in turn to strech it, at first i'd start slowly every 2 months going up a mill so at 1month go to 2mm then 3mm to your desired size. The further on it goes the easier it will be to strech, but dont strech too quick as you ear can rip and thats painfull so i have been told. 3- In time, if taken out then will close up but not over night, 4- not as cool as me tho.

no other word for things like that. it doesn't look cool and will never be cool. Title: Tunnels Post by: sonic youth on Monday, September 11, 2006, 21:25:45 i disagree.

walking round with a fucking great big hole in your ear??!!! oh yeah that looks cool when you go for your job inteview. Title: Tunnels Post by: Frigby Daser on Monday, September 11, 2006, 21:29:52 If these were around ages back, then Debbie could've done dallas in far less time couldn't she
Title: Tunnels Post by: Chubbs on Monday, September 11, 2006, 21:41:51 OK, No 1. They can look good if done subtley, people always go to an extreme, its each to their own how far up they want to go, someone allways wants to go that one bit further, someone jumps off a 20ft wall all of a sudden someone decides they want to jump off a 25ft wall just so not to be out done, i dont have tunnels as peircings dont agree with me too well, but i do like them aslong as they are'nt overly big.
No 2. In this day and age no one should be even looking at your ears when going for a job interview, i understand that some jobs they wont be allowed but a majority of employers are fine with it these days, we have several people with them in at my work. Once again i guess what type of work it is your doing, if your a waiter in a top restaurant where presentation is everything then they probaly wont be allowed, if its sat on your ass infront of a computer i dont see it being an issue. Title: Tunnels Post by: Sussex on Monday, September 11, 2006, 22:05:26 If Walrus wants to bum his way through Uni and end up parking cars at Gatwick for a living then fine, get the tunnels.
However, despite posting stories about what a spastic he is when drunk (innocence of youth and all that..) he's an intelligent chap and doubt he'll be looking for a job where ear tunnels would be acceptable. I bet you know Bennett. Title: Tunnels Post by: mr ian on Monday, September 11, 2006, 22:09:12 how the .. does he eat without it just fallin out has he got a plug for it. :D

Title: Tunnels Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 08:16:38 My sister is in the process of getting hers done. Can't remember what she's on at the moment, but it's pretty small. I'm not really a fan, though i do like piercings and tattoos in general.
Go for it if it's what you want... as it's a gradual thing, you can decide quite small that it isn't for you, and it won't leave you with much of a problem.

Title: Tunnels Post by: Dazzza on Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 11:48:06 I’ve always had a thing for piercings but aren’t tunnels a bit old hat nowadays?
They don’t really serve any practical purpose like a genital or tongue piercing so I’ve always thought of them as a unique ‘individual thing’ but every man and his dog seems to be walking around with one. Plus ripped lobes look fucking nasty. Title: Tunnels Post by: Sade on Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 11:59:48 If you took them out would the hole go back to its original size after a while or would it stay Big forever :?
Title: Tunnels Post by: Northern Red on Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 12:01:24 Quote from: "Sussex Red" Don't do it! You'll regret it, it's the first thing that'll be noticed when you go for job interviews (ie: you won't get the job) and look like a twat when you're older. They won't heal either (it's a dry wound). Its the association that the problem. Extreme piercings or numerous tattoos are associated with yobs/drunks/job less gorillas. So when you turn up to a future job interview looking like that the natural discrimination that is in everyone will come through and you'll be stereotyped to whoever they believe looks like that. Thus no job. Just weigh up three things: the pain vs the short term wey-hey I've got these factor vs 40 years of why did I do this? Have you seen some of the 75 years olds with fading green tattoos they wish they didn't have - that'll be you in 40 years, bear that in mind. Title: Tunnels Post by: Batch on Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 12:06:58 Why would anyone want to look like a twat? Tunnels aren't cool or making you look like an individual, they are just twattish.

However a mate of mine had plugs put in and instead of stretching them just had the hole cut in his ear. Fuck that for a game of soldiers though. Stretching it is probably the best way.
From what I can under stand, as long as you dont stretch them too far (over 10mm i think) they can heal naturally, but you can get surgery to fix them when you grow out of them :mrgreen: Title: Tunnels Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, September 13, 2006, 14:23:46 Quote from: "Northern Red" Quote from: "Sussex Red" Don't do it!

The ink used for tattoo's these days is so much different, these factors have been thought off and worked at to get a better tattoo for longer, admitidly they will start to fade but nothing like what they do nowadays for people who got them all those years ago.
