Have you always wanted to be different from others? Are you eager to have your own unique and incomparable unique style? Are you more than loyal to your piercing?
In this case, you could not help but be interested in how the tunnels are made in the ears. This article will consider in detail all the features of this piercing technology, and also indicate the possible consequences and complications.
Style above all else
The tunnel in the ear is, in fact, the most ordinary hole. Its size may vary. from one to five centimeters in diameter... However, most of all horror in the eyes of an ignorant person is caused by the process of its formation. The hole is most often made by methodically stretching the earlobe. Well, this process cannot be called painless. In the vast majority of cases, anesthesia is used. After, in fact, the formation of the hole, a metal tunnel is superimposed on it. Such a decoration looks very impressive and you will not be able to miss it.
This type of piercing is very popular among young people from different subcultures. “Informals” are the main ones. Guided by the main principle of "standing out from the crowd", they are ready even for such radical actions.
The fashion to pierce not only the ears, but also the rest of the body came to us from Western musical subcultures. Back in the early 80s, this trend was clearly traced, especially among reggae performers. In Russia, the fashion for piercing different parts of the body has taken root relatively recently.
In turn, the ancestors of the tradition of piercing different parts of the body were and remain the Kenyan and Indonesian tribes. In addition to decoration, the holes in the ears are of no small practical importance for them: it is convenient to carry all sorts of things in the holes. Thus, this type of piercing for backward peoples is a kind of pocket. Also of great importance for them is the size of the lobe itself: the larger it is, the more beautiful the woman looks and the more belligerent the man.
Where to start?
First, you need to clearly understand and answer to yourself the question: what is it for me? If you intend to make a lasting impression on your friends and acquaintances (you will certainly achieve this), and after a few months remove this piece of jewelry, it will be much better if you give up such an idea. Cold calculation is needed here. If you plan to do this for yourself and some of your personal beliefs, you can try. Otherwise, you will have to sew up the tunnels in the ears, especially if they are large. This almost always leads to the formation of scars that will stay with you for life.
An awfully fashionable hole in your ear can be very small and almost inconspicuous, or just huge. The smallest dimensions of the tunnels start at a mark of a few millimeters and end with real holes up to 50 mm in diameter. Often, people who want to make such a piece of jewelry for themselves choose one of the standard sizes from 8 to 40 mm.
On the territory of our country, you can purchase small tunnels up to 30 mm. If you want a real trash, you need to order tunnels with a huge diameter only abroad.
The tunnels in the ears are overgrown depending on the hole made. To choose the most suitable option for yourself, you need to understand one important nuance - the smaller the hole in the ear you make, the sooner it will overgrow if you refuse this type of piercing.
Small hole (up to 1 cm) will be able to overgrow on its own quickly enough without leaving even a trace. The more tunnels will also be tightened, but will leave behind a "pleasant" memory in the form of a scar. Large tunnels are a different matter. They will not completely heal and will definitely leave a large scar after them.
Therefore, if you decide to make such a decoration, we recommend starting with the minimum size first. To start with, choosing a tunnel should also be discreet colors. Even the smallest black can be seen from afar.

The first technique may work for patient people. First, the earlobe is punctured, after which it is gradually and methodically stretched. A big plus of this method is that it is much easier for a person to decide on the final size of the tunnel than with other methods.
After the master has pierced the lobe, he inserts an earring into it. Then, after the wound has healed, a special expander is inserted. Its diameter does not exceed 2 mm. After a while, another expander comes in, already larger. This process is followed until you get the diameter of the tunnel that you originally wanted. Of course, every step of wearing the speculum involves keeping your ear clean and hygienic. When stretching like this, prepare for a stable and regular aching pain. How else? Beauty requires sacrifice. However, after a couple of months, you will be able to enjoy the fruits of your enthusiasm.
