why do people enlargen their earlobes? serious and educated answers only please?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Stretched piercings are probably as old as piercing itself. More primitive versions of all modern stretching techniques are known to exist, in one degree or another. Evidence from statuary, especially in Asia, shows us that stretched earlobes were common thousands of years ago and the practices of many African and South American tribes today include stretched lip piercings, some of phenomenal size.

In contemporary times, the re-emergence of body piercing in the developed world has been accompanied in an interest in stretched piercings. Much of this activity was initially associated with the modern primitive movement, but like piercing in general, it has become a more mainstream activity, common amongst young people and many subcultures. This movement has also taken place because of those who simply enjoy the aesthetic appeal of stretched earlobes. They view it as an artwork.

Answer 3

It's not "enlargen", it is "enlarge."

People do it to make a statement. They like that it makes them stand out and seem different. It really is no different than people getting tattoos or piercing their nose or nipples or something. When people try to enlarge their earlobes, it is simply because they like it and they want to look different.

Answer 4

I think it's because of they culture.. No one will understand why it's done unless there were part of that culture.
