Today it is not uncommon to see young people on the streets - often in unusual clothes and with strange hairdos - with incomprehensible decorations, thanks to which one can view the street through a hole in the earlobe. Tunnels in the ears became popular a few years ago. Older generations look at it with disapproval, more conservative middle-aged people squirm, and young people think that it is not only beautiful, but also conceptual.
Any piercing: tunnels, punctures in cartilage, rods on the bridge of the nose and in the nipples - a simple man in the street is always perplexing. It is understandable: why should a normal person search for himself? However, as mentioned earlier, punctures are part of a certain worldview, views. Everyone has seen tunnels in the ears of African residents: women and men, young and old. These decorations really have a certain meaning. According to representatives of many peoples for whom tunnels in the ears are the norm, artificially made holes next to holes of natural origin (eyes, ears, nose) can deceive evil spirits. It is stated that they will slip through the body, and not settle in it.
There are two types of jewelry for those whostretched his earlobes: tunnels directly, as well as plugs. The first differ from the second by the presence of a hole. Young people prefer tunnels, but plugs are also held in high esteem: you can choose models with unusual patterns.
It must be said that making a tunnel in the ears is not easy. Depending on the desired result, the procedure can last for 2-3 sessions, or for … in general, until a rupture of the lobe occurs. Considering that there are more than enough handicraft masters now, this happens quite often. But, no matter under what conditions - sanitary or unsanitary - a person's ear was stretched, caring for newly acquired holes in the body requires special attention and time. After the procedure, it is necessary to treat the ears with a solution of chlorhexidine for 1 to 3 months (namely, how long the healing lasts). A small amount of purulent discharge within a few days after visiting a piercer is, in principle, in the order of things. But if the discharge is strong, you should be worried and contact a specialist, and it is better if it is a qualified doctor.
Usually the tunnels in the ears have a diameter of 3-5 mm - this does not cause much pain when stretched, looks stylish and, at the same time, makes it possible to say goodbye to unusual jewelry without a trace: the earlobe tightens itself during several months of absence ear jewelry. However, those who have chosen tunnels with a size of 1 cm or more will not be able to restore their original beauty just like that. To do thisonly possible in the surgeon's office. The procedure is short, but costly: an average of 9,000 rubles is charged for the restoration of one lobe.
I would like to note that tunnels in the ears are not the worst thing. Some stretch the skin on the wings of the nose (in this case, however, they don’t even stretch, but cut out), on the tongue, on the cheeks. As a rule, this is done by people who want to become famous, which, by the way, they are good at.
Summing up, I want to say that everything good and beautiful should be in moderation, and most importantly - not to the detriment of he alth!
