modern primitive 

A person of Western World background who engages in behaviors of body modification, emulating tribal behaviors of African nations (and other primitive parts of the world). These behaviors include stretched earlobes, extreme tattooing and other modification.

On the Show "Mad Mad House", the modern primitive has stretched lobes and a body suit. His look is very tribal.

tribal 

Any culture resembling pack behavior. Tribal is usually referred to in modern culture when referring to people who, as a group, are tattooed or modified to bare the look of african tribesman.

Tribal is also a form of tattooing that uses symmetrical patterns.

I was walking through the mall and saw a man walking around with stretched lobes looking very tribal.

body suit 

A person who is more than 80% covered in tattoos is said to have a body suit. The torso, arms and legs are covered. Sometimes, the hands, neck, face and feet are left bare.

At the Motor City Tattoo convention, my buddy Rob won an award for "Best Body Suit".

stretched lobes

Earlobes containing earrings that are stretching sufficiently beyond the base 18G posts that most people get pierced with.

Most people don't consider the process of gauging to stretched lobes "acquired" until you get to 0g, or zero gauge.

After slipping the taper through the healed piercing and following with the jewelry, I now had 1/2" stretched lobes.

gauging 

The process of stretching a person's piercings from one gauge to a higher gauge.

Common gauging movements are from 8g to 6g, 2g to 0g and 1/2"g to 5/8"g.

Gauging too fast can cause tearing or a blowout.

I tore my ear the other day while gauging from a 4g to a 0g.

blowout 

The expelsion of tissue from the back of a piercing if you are gauging too quickly. The tissue will "blow out" the back of the hole and heal in a lump, causing uneven stretching, tearing or other problems.

While pushing the taper too hard, I managed to blowout my right earlobe.
