Body and ear piercing has become so popular over the past few years. Its important to remember though that at some point people may regret a tattoo, piercing or ear stretcher. Once an ear stretcher has been removed, the skin of the earlobe will NEVER return to normal. That may be OK for some people but it can look ugly and put off potential employers or partners. I've corrected a lot of these abnormalities as well as split earlobes. The most rewarding case involved a lad who wanted to join the marines. Initially he was refused a place unless his ears were corrected.
