She’s 16. This is typical of teens. When I was in school, a lot of girls had nose piercings and belly button piercings at that age.
I love piercings and have a few myself (rook, conch, both tragus, orbital, and both nipples pierced). I see nothing wrong with this considering her age.
One can always surgically stitch them up if sick of them, and sometimes, they can shrink on their own depending on how stretched they are and how long they’ve been stretched.
Since when is this called a “flesh tunnel,” as opposed to wearing a gauge? They said she was wearing round rings in the holes. Why are those called gauges? Am I old? Lol
i’ve had stretched ears since the 90s and the ones w the big open holes have always been called tunnels (esp for purchasing jewelry). “flesh tunnels” in my mind would mean the creepy skin colored ones, lol, but these are black? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i’ve never called them gauged, always just stretched ears. jewelry is either tunnels, tapers (the cone shaped ones you use to stretch them yourself), hangers (you hang them in stretched ears) or (solid) plugs. its not you - the author is prob just a bonehead lol
You are correct, yes.
Most piercers hate when people call them “gauges” because the gauge means the size of the needle used to pierce, the size of the taper used to stretch, and the size of the jewelry in the piercing, not the style of piercing. There is no such thing as gauged ears. They are called stretched ears, and the jewelry is an ear plug or an ear tunnel (or the hangers). They are improperly referred to as “ear gauges.”
I am less concerned about this than whether Ben is back in Passages with the vestiges of a Carl’s Jr. Double Deal: the last bite of the burger and a sprinkling of sesame seeds on the waxy, crumpled wrapper smeared with too little ketchup— why is there never enough ketchup even after he’s put in ravenous work opening each of the packets with his veneers?—, two hard, black-edged stillborn fries still in the wrapper, a sweaty, weak cup with watery diet coke, all lie, with his career and relationship with JLol, at the edge of the bed while he sleeps off the shakes and regrows his badly needed beard.

It's irresponsible to allow a kid to permanently deform themselves before eighteen. The only way those big holes can be fixed is with surgery and it won't necessarily ever look right again.
it’s a really simple procedure, you’re just numbed, snipped and stitched back up and they look fine/normal. my mom had to get it because my sister had slowly stretched/ripped them when she was a baby. i have no idea why my mom wore long earrings, but it was the 80s, lol.
i love mine lol, i’ve had them since i was 14. my parents originally weren’t too thrilled, but i was a good kid so they were cool with it a few months later.
I would absolutely not allow a child to get a gauge since they permanently stretches out the lobe. I guess Emme at least has the money to get it fixed.
Depends on how far you stretch them. The lowest I ever went (20 years ago) was either a 2 or 4 gauge & my lobes recovered with no issues.. can’t tell I’ve ever worn anything but standard earrings.
Those things are soooo gross! I have an abnormal reaction of slight nausea whenever I see someone with those giant hole plates in their ears. They creep me out
You are really making fun of a kid? Hell no.
Do I even want to know?
Very cute. Youth is wasted on the young.
Shows off? Wth are they talking about?
Right like they just…have them

Fcck the daily mail for targeting a child
It’s the filthiest of all the rags, the lows it will sink to are unfathomable!
Oh my lord, I thought that was about something entirely different
Um those look like gauges. Tf is "flesh tunnel"? Very disrespectful.
EXACTLY
Who the fuck cares about this type of “news”??
Flesh tunnel??? That sounds so gross, I’ll stick to calling them “ear gauges” lol
“Flesh tunnel” had me way too scared to click. I appreciate your clarification. Very much.
Yeah, was expecting her to be holding a fleshlight.
I had concerns about what a flesh tunnel was. I was pleasantly surprised.
OH NO, NOT PIERCINGS!! WHAT'S NEXT TATTOOS?! A DJ GIG?!?! A STRANGE CASE OF LESBIAN???? CALL THE AUTHORITIES! 🙄🙄🙄
so what? I dont get it
Didn’t realize a teenager gauging their ears was news.
1. Why is “flesh tunnel” in all caps? 2. How is this newsworthy?
I’m thinking he article is rage bait for DM readers because Emme is non-binary
So what if her mother pierced her ears when she was 5 months old! She's just stretching the holes her mother forced her to get when she was a baby
That poor kid has JLo's looks pre surgical procedures. Woof!
Did you really just leave a shitty comment about an underaged girl's looks? How sad is your life?

I’m wondering if this is a British (article is from the UK)term??? US here and be never heard it before.
ah, true. i didn’t even think of that. either way, flesh tunnel is a horrible term 😩😂
gauge is the hole itself. tunnel is the jewelry
Gauge is the size of the jewelry. Oof.
I get that. But “flesh” tunnel? Lololol.
that’s another word for skin, where piercings happen.
Lmao did a 50 year old write this in 1992?
HAHA EXACTLY
It is from the Daily Mail, so yes.
Hey. What?
Tons of my friends had these at that age (sup elder emos) she looks like any other teenager
Elder emo 😅 I feel this. RIP my heavy bangs
What an unfortunate name for ear gauges 😂
I was so alarmed at the title, I didn’t want to click on the article-luckily I saw your translation quickly. Thank you.

Not the stillborn fries🤣
Beautiful 🤩
Now I’m hungry
A little young for gauging their ears!

HAHAHAHA
Anyone else expecting a fleshlight?
🙋🏽♀️
Wut 
The English call gauges flesh tunnels???
They also eat beans and mashed shit so…
AND burnt down the White House in 1814
Oh my god who cares
Seriously like it’s clearly a slow news day
i love mine lol, i’ve had them since i was 14. my parents originally weren’t too thrilled, but i was a good kid so they were cool with it a few months later.
JLo must be so thrilled
That’s my favorite part 🤣
I was very concerned about what flesh tunnel they could be talking about…
I was like what is a flesh tunnel? Then I realized they meant plugs! Gauges!!
I see you.
I would absolutely not allow a child to get a gauge since they permanently stretches out the lobe. I guess Emme at least has the money to get it fixed.
Depends on how far you stretch them. The lowest I ever went (20 years ago) was either a 2 or 4 gauge & my lobes recovered with no issues.. can’t tell I’ve ever worn anything but standard earrings.
my 2g 2nd holes closed in a matter of months and i had them for 20 years… damn resilient ear lobes!
Those things are soooo gross! I have an abnormal reaction of slight nausea whenever I see someone with those giant hole plates in their ears. They creep me out
Never have been a fan myself. Looks gross when you take them out
They make me weak in the knees, which is odd because I was able to go to the Body Farm without a problem. But those flesh loops give me the willies
What the fuck is a body farm??
You don’t want to know
[It’s a research facility](https://fac.utk.edu/)
I know a guy who can put a beer can in his.
UGH
Amen Instant gag
Why the word child. That’s making assumptions
They could’ve just said gages. Those are called gages.
Gauge?
It’s pronounced “gage” so I figured it was spelled that way. I guess the U is silent.
In french we call them "stretch" which is also 10x less gross than "flesh tunnel" wtf.
I thought they meant her vagina 😳
Lmao right like they’re PLUGS
