Those are for the ear lobes. It's some kind of tribal fashion thing.

Oh crap!!!! Now I get it. It grosses me out when I see people with those things in their ear lobes. It ranks right up there with tongue piercing!

I've seen kids around here with them. I can't stop staring at their ear lobes when they are trying to talk to me.
Dennis Leary said it best when he said, "I'd never have a nose ring when I was a kid, that would just be one extra thing my dad could grab a hold of when I did something stupid." (paraphrased)

It is an African tribal thing. Only click the links if yer not too squeamish. Lip plate tinyurl.com/5yvlymCouldn't find the larger ear plugs. I've seen stretchers up to 2 inches. The neck rings are worn by Burmese/Thai women. Neck rings tinyurl.com/4va95mBut we seem to have taken it to the extreme. Corset piercing tinyurl.com/3lyjpc And tattoos tinyurl.com/yu94c6 don't think he'll be getting a job in mac donalds anytime soon. There's a leopard man as well tinyurl.com/4ro7ul he even has his teeth filed to shape. There's plenty more do a search google images for body modification. Some of it is plain weird.

Well the adage applies "If they think you're crazy they'll leave you alone."
If the Graduate was being remade the advice instead of "plastics" would be tattoo removal.
It gets me thinking about being haunted by the impulses of our youth as well as the temporary nature of art.

Don't click if yer squeamishSpikes ear surgery and stretcher tinyurl.com/3u2xpdHealed Surgery tinyurl.com/4kcc6jI've a couple of tattoos, and I had a piercing that's gone.
