Why do people do this to themselves? Is it severely low self-esteem?
Because they want to senpai
>>38234763
they call it "body art" fucking degenerates
It might very well be low self-esteem. When people are insecure about something they often try to cover it, so they wear hats.

My brother is one of these people, and it's very saddening because you know he does it for attention. We're cut from the same cloth so I know that where my problems manifested as being a mentally ill NEET, his did as being one of these self-multilating fucktards.

Mine is better looking, but I'll make this quick and easy.

$750, 30 minutes of getting it sewn together. Looks like they were never even pierced.
Any other questions faggots?

So pic related is why you're on this board, not surprising.

No the reason I really come is to make trap threads and push prison gay anons into full blown homosexuality
>""""""""""people"""""""""" will pay $750 to fix their degenerate mistakes
I could buy a pretty decent handgun for $750. Or some high-quality tires for my autismwagon. Or some new headers for the same tismwagon. Or a good air compressor and some decent impact tools.
goddamn, some of you """"""""""people""""""""" I swear

As long as it turns these people on the right track, who gives a shit? They shouldn't have gotten into it in the first place, but that's excusable as them being young and dumb.
If you're over 30 and still have gauges you should probably kill yourself, in my opinion.
>>38235096
But still, $750? That sounds like a retard tax to me lol

>modify your body

Normies gotta norm
>>38235357
Literally this, what led to you getting the idea anyway, op? The people around you or the media? Your ears anyway, later tribal grandpa
>>38235239

Are you a queerosexual yourself or is it just for the lulz?
I've wondered who the primary pushers are a number of times.

I fell for this meme as an autistic teenager, does this make me truly unemployable?
>>38237116
He >>38234877 says not.
>>38234763
Humans are trash. If cutting your head off became trendy, I guarantee you there would be a population crisis because so fucking many retards would do it immediately.
>>38235166
also two more holes for his faggot bf to fuck
>>38234877
>sewing together
How is that supposed to fix the fact that you've still got a stretched out droopy lobe?
>>38237399
It will heal
Even if you dont sew it together
>>38234763
Im considering getting some
How much does it cost and what are risks and other things to consider
>>38237506
>How much does it cost
Get your ears pierced. 6 months later stretch it up 1 size per 1-2 months. You can get each new size in titanium/stainless steel online for $5-9. Getting mine up to 3.2 cm cost me I think $200 including getting them pierced.
>Are there complications
Yes, you might end up a super cute boi like me (pic oh, so very related).
But if you try and stretch too soon (1-2 weeks instead of 1 month) you can tear it, but tears heal if you don't go full fucking retard and shove like you're beating a limp dick.
Also I am a prolific fag poster on r9k, but I try and keep it kawaii and classy.
>>38237116
My manager at publix has tunnels ("gages") and makes like $64k/yr. and to the anon that said it requires surgery to fix, thats only true to an extent. if you keep them at a smallish size they will heal.
