Gauging
By Alichia CrandallA step beyond the usual ear piercing or any other gaugable piercing. Stretching the skin to create a bigger hole. Christie Wilkins, a sophomore, says she started gauging her ears because she always wanted to. She started gauging January of last year and says “as long as you’re smart about it and go slow, it won’t hurt.” She plans on staying at half inch gauges, which she is at now. What do her parents think about the whole concept? Her mom thinks it’s disgusting, but her dad finds it interesting.
What do junior Ricky Foster’s parents think about it? NO! They don’t approve at all and are extremely against it. He started gauging his ears a couple months ago and plans on stopping at double o. Ricky started because he likes the holes created and because it is “fun to stick things through them.” Well, gauging still looks a little painful and also hard to go back on if you change your mind. Use caution when deciding on whether or not you want to start gauging.
