Does anyone actually know anyone who has or had pierced lobes that were stretched to or past a 2 gauge (about 6.5mm for metric folks)? Or do any of you know would-be pilots in that situation and it just didnt fly? (no pun intended, really).

I might add that I don't expect anyone to have 2 gauge plugs, etc. in their ears, but had said piercings and let them shrink up over a year or two.

One more thing - no offence to anyone, but I'm not really interested in *just* your opinions on piercings - there are already plenty of threads about what people think about body modifications.

Thanks for any info!
