what year was it? 80's? 90's?

Question

when they started cutting the ear lobe to put those tubes in,so its a big hole.

to ken and wendy; how do you think it begins to stretch dear? you need to cut it first then slowly increase the whole with a bigger loop or whatever they put in it. geez

Answer 1

they have been doing it since the dawn of time but it became popular in the early 90's atleast in seattle

Answer 2

I think very late 90's, but Africans and South American Indians have long doing that since biblical days. Have you see the the lip people who put round boards which lips wrap around it to hold it to teeth. Or how about those long neck ladies with many rings aroung their neck. I certainly hope that does not become a trend here in North America as a fad.

Answer 3

I think it became popular among teens/early-20-somethings in the late 90s. In the midwest, anyway.

Answer 4

i think it started in africa with some tribesman

probably in ethiopia, before the arrival of europeans

so probably in the first millenium AD

Answer 5

They've found petrified ear lobes in Africa with people still attached.
You didn't know that?

Answer 10
