Vulcan Ears.

I am pondering letting my size 0g ear holes close.

Con (keep them at 0):

• My ex got me some really cute plugs. I feel bad because I really liked them and I know he put thought into the gifts.

(Pink and black rhinestones)

(plain rhinestones on black)

(White on white. I liked these because when I don't have stretched ears I wear pearls all the time! So these were like my pearls.)

• I like them from time to time.

• They do have pretty plug jewelry

• If I let them close its such a lengthy process to get them to stretch again. However it may be easier since I've had them stretched already.

Pro (getting rid of them)

• I can wear fabulous earrings again.

• I know its gross, but they stink, literally. I have to wash them all the time.

• Recently I noticed if I lay on my plugs wrong they cut into my ear and now my ear wigging out.

• I am modified enough. I've modified my arms and chest with tattoos. Sometimes I want to seem as normal as I can get. 

• I have a lot more "normal" earrings than I do plugs (I only have like 4 pairs of plugs, maybe less). Therefore, I have more a variety of what I want to wear if I do choose.

• I have to wear earrings all the time if I keep them. If I don't they get small really fast and stretching them takes time. Sometimes I just don't feel like wearing earrings.

I think its a tough choice with the pro's and con's. There is a strong case for both. Help? Whats your opinion?
