Stretched Lobes are ear lobes stretched beyond the "normal" size of 18g. The incorrect term for the stretching process is "Gauging"; the jewelry are certain Gauges (For example, 2g is 1/4".) The origins of this process go back to tribes in Africa, Asia, and even some in early America.
Frequently asked questions about this are:
“Does it hurt?”
It really shouldn’t. If you stretch slowly and only one size at a time (waiting till it is healed) it shouldn’t be more than a slight discomfort for a few seconds.
“How big will I stretch before it won’t go back to normal?”
On average, 2g
“What comes after 00/000?”

“How big can I go?”
Depends on the size of your lobes, how thick, and how well you stretch. There are people currently here in America with lobes over 3 inches.
“Why do it?”
Personal choice, everyone’s different.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Rip a stitch'
Similar in meaning to the old theater adage 'break a leg' used to wish someone goodluck before they take the stage The phrase 'break a leg, rip a stitch' was originally coined by the actor /painter/writer Hank Cheyne Garcia. He had originally said "dont rip a stitch" to a friend who had had oral surgery a few hours before going to perform onstage in a play. That night his friend ripped a stitch on stage and bled during the play. The following night hank coined the opposite , 'rip a stitch,' so as not to jinx his friend with the same intent as the colloquialism 'break a leg,' basically saying the opposite with the intention of boding him good luck on stage. He later combined the two phrases together 'break a leg, rip a stitch' and thus a new theater term was born. This phrase is now being used in the Los Angeles theater community.
