Replying to Views on Gauging Ears... and other pierecing.

Ok so i have been gauging my ears for about a year now... and im at about a 2g, (little bit smaller then a pencil) and i have been getting mixed reviews people can never really agree on if they like them or not...  And i'm curious to see what you guys on NS think.. I thnk i should be able to do what i want to my ears... but every one else seems to think shits gross...

What do you guys think?

Dose any one else have any type of gauge?
