I legit get goosebumps when I see people with Gauges in public. Makes me super uncomfortable that someone would choose to do that to themselves
Not all of them provoke that reaction, but the wider ones can make me sort of uncomfortable as well - the thought of a ripped or significantly blown-out earlobe isn't particularly pleasant.
Just think, If you have braces and the guy your with has a cock piercing and they happen to get stuck together....
