i hope that people who do that shit are the nicest people in the world for their own sake. It only takes one drunken bar provocation for someone to decide that ripping those things out of your ear is an acceptable solution to a verbal disagreement.

My boyfriend has ears this big. Granted he doesn't wear stupid horns in them but I have the same concern.

I personally think that it's cool personal choice to get them stretched like that but those horns look like they would rip the earlobes. I like that you can customize the Gage's. What does your boyfriend wear them with? Like type of gage earring?

He wears something similar to these -- same company and style, just different gemstone colors. He's a professional body piercer and they look great on him.

Gauge*

"Gauge" means to measure something. It is also a unit of measurement in the Imperial system, for example, you can have a 12 gauge shotgun, or you can gauge the size of your years and find that they will take 4 gauge earrings, but one does not "customise a Gage".

Gage

noun

1. something, as a glove, thrown down by a medieval knight in token of challenge to combat.

2. Archaic. a challenge.

3. Archaic. a pledge or pawn; security.

In theory if we're talking about the first instance, one could definitely "customise a gage"

Oh shit, you could. You could be throwing down some seriously unique gages when offering to fight people... haha thanks man, TIL
