While there is probably some genetic influence on earlobe attachment point, family studies show that it does not fit the simple one-locus, two-allele myth. You should not use earlobe attachment to demonstrate basic genetics".

You start with a noraml sized piercing which is 1.6mm and then you get a expander which tapers up to say 2.0mm and leave it for a bit and then increase and increase until you reach your desired size. Or if you're really rock and roll you can get it scalpelled up to a bigger size much quicker. Aslong as you don't stretch over 12.7mm then it should heal itself back up. It's actually hugely popular and not at all uncommon, infact it's becoming very common atm. I'm surprised people on here seemed so shocked <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_neutral.gif" title=":-|" class="bb_smilies" /> He also has tattoos on his head-shocking I know some people don't like them, he gets the occasional funny look and what have you, but that couldn't bother him in the slightest!
