Gauge Piercing is a gradual process in which the earlobe is stretched centimeter by centimeter, inch by inch in order to attain the ultimate goal of a larger opening and more elaborate piece of jewelry.

The cultural phenomenon of Gauge Piercing is not only exclusive to the earlobe. It can be placed on several parts of the face, including the nostrils, lower lip, cheeks and more. Youtube (watch the changing of a Gauge to a larger size), Facebook, Mypsace and many other social websites have thousands of Body Modification and Gauge Piercing videos, clubs, and networks.

Unfortunately, just as the day grows older, a person grows older and tired of the extremely large hole in their ear. Most will begin to find that it is difficult to find a skilled surgeon who may or may not be able to undo the damage.
