Naked Lobes -- How Healthy Are Yours/mine?

I always found it fascinating (and hilarious,) that in many tribe cultures who practice ear stretching, those that stretch too fast and get blow-outs and other issues are the "village idiots."

I recently went without any jewelry for the last year and a half to help repair my ears.

I started stretching when I was 15. I am now 26. I reached 3/4" and my ears were healthy and happy. I did a few months in jail (I was innocent of course!) After I got out, I stretched back to 3/4" too quickly and hurt my lobes.

I'd like your opinions and how they look. They are currently at 5/8"






I hope I don't look like too much of an idiot...
