Tribal Piercings

Nowadays Piercings are generally there because we think they look good, rarely we have a ear piercing to sympolise bravery or strength.

Earlobe stretching is very common in african tribes both men and women stretch their earlobes using hollow discs and hang beads a jewelry from the holes that have been created.

Nowadays these are called plugs and lost of young people are getting them and stretching to a size that just looks horrible! please people keep them small noone likes a saggy ear lobe.
I have actually been quite squeamish when researching into this im finding it hard to get pictures that i can bring myself to save.

In my opinion I dont think plugs look attractive and it has to hurt, everyone has a different perspective on piercings though.

 I had to hide my tongue bar from my parents, got away with it for 6 months till I was caught I'm told its hideous on a regular basis.
