Have you ever thought about stretching your earlobes, but you just weren’t quite sure where to start? Here at Almost Famous Body Piercing we are always eager to help customers on their journey to beautiful stretched lobes!
The history of body modification is as long as human history itself. People from various cultures and time periods throughout the world have stretched their earlobes because the cartilage of the ear has adequate strength to hold up large pieces of jewelry placed in pierced and stretched earlobes. We think of stretching a modern practice but it has actually been a tradition for many cultures for thousands of years.
Stretching can be a permanent change to your body. Depending on each individual’s capacity to heal, and skin elasticity, once you pass a certain size stretch, it may be impossible for the skin to shrink back to a “normal” size piercing.
