Liam Palmer says his dream is to serve in the British Army. But the military won't accept the 21-year old with gaping holes in his earlobes from ear piercings, followed by stretching the skin with plugs.
"I don't regret it. [Wearing ear plugs] was just a part of who I was," Palmer says about his younger counter-culture days of gelled hair, skinny jeans and ear plugs - also known as ear gauges or "tribal" ear piercings.
"Patients realize [ear gauges] are not becoming in terms of job hunting or work - sort of like tattoos," Edwards says.

I’m guessing that he isn’t able to brush his teeth very effectively.
The table is always set and no crumbs on the floor.
That look like the guy that helped me at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago.
do they really idiotic morons like this in the military??
A great game to play with these idiots is to take an open padlock, loop the shackle through their ear lobe hoop and click the lock shut.
But I every time I looked at him I wanted to ask him if he knew how dumb he looked with the ring in his lip.
The one that confuses me is the nose ring where it looks like boogers are hanging out both nostrils. How can people think that makes them look better?
This looks like it causes uncontrolled drooling. That would drive me crazy.
But, but it’s sooooo coooool!!!
I know a woman who took her twin daughters out for matching boobie piercings for their 18th birthdays. The three of them got piercings. I’m sure Dad was so proud. IMO, each freakish piercing or tat lowers IQ 50 points. Yes, that brings many into negative points.
That earlobe thing is truly gross. I’ve only seen it up close once and i literally wretched right in front of the guy. What are these people trying to do anyway with this...?
Yep!
I think they also call them gauges.
OMG!!! Obola/s DADDY!!
Every time I see those, I have an urge to find a dog lease and clip it on................
I'm thinking scooping the litter box!
The hardest thing for me to look at are the eyebrow piercings. I nearly gag.
septum piercings are not attractive... but neither are gauges... I’m actually happy they’ve gotten so popular, as both of my 20 something year old kids have no interest in doing anything the masses are trying :)
another idiotic thing people are doing is called “snake bites”
