you need to get some wood,bone,or natural stone plugs, i literally clean mine maybe 2 times a month and i never have that smell or even half the build up. i wore metal and glass for a long time cleaning daily till i got some natural plugs. i have not and would not go back. i remember one night when i was getting all close and what not with a girl and she started kissing on my neck slowly up towards my ear and then she smelled the plugs... literally end of story

and while you're in the shower, pop them in and out of your ear everyday when you're cleaning them. best time to change to a larger size in in the shower as well.

I actually have gotten 100% of the jobs I've interviewed for, but I have submitted some resumes and apps for jobs I was grossly underqualified for that didn't get me a callback. Can't really blame those on tattoos or plugs though. I'm not suggesting this is everyone's experience, just my own.

This is one of the reasons why I like i-club so much. It is really easy to bounce ideas off you guys and I don't need to keep stirring the pot.
Walter, Ryan, and Simon. I was really hoping to get your take on the subject and I am really glad you guys came in and shared your thoughts and experiences. Thank you.
For the record, this isn't something that I want to do because it is trendy nor do I want to do it to get the attention of more girls. I know those are both terrible reasons to do anything.
The fact that it is getting more trendy actually kinda turns we away from it. I don't want to fall into the trend bandwagon. I really dislike that crap. The idea that some girls find it attractive or that it could be a potential conversation piece or shared interest would just be a bonus really.
I have been on and off about this for the last 6-7 years. One of my friends in HS had stretched ears and I thought it was really cool. She even offered to let me have all the plugs that she used in the stretching process. IDK why I didn't do anything then, I guess I just didn't feel the drive to do it. Ever since then though I have always worked with people who had stretched ears, even now at my current job, and I have always be fascinated it.
I guess the real reason why I am more motivated now compared to how I was 6-7 years ago would probably be because I guess I am sorta in the process of change. Most of you guys saw me at BAM and saw how I look. I was the big white guy. That was pretty much all I had going for me (appearance wise). Since BAM I have gotten smaller and if I can keep with it, I will continue to get smaller. Until the point where (hopefully) I will no longer be a big guy. Well, I may still be a tall guy, but that distinction is already taken. I guess I feel like I would be too plain, so I want something to make me different and unique. I know I am the same decaying matter as everything else, but I want to be the unique snowflake.
I think what I'll do is get a pair of fake plugs and try those and see how those go before I make the jump and do the real thing.
