What is an ear tunnel? The consequences of such a procedure
This decoration is a procedure for stretching the earlobe, as a result of which a hole appears in it with a diameter of about one to five centimeters. Usually they use metal tunnels that are put on like a button and turn a hole in the ear into something elegant that attracts a lot of attention.
This fashion for ear tunnels originates from Kenyan and Indonesian tribes, where militancy and masculinity of men, as well as the beauty of women were determined by the earlobe. Moreover, in these tribes, the tunnels in the ears played the role of pockets, since these peoples do not wear clothes.
The jewelry in question is a type of piercing. For example, in America, he was very popular in the 70s among musicians, artists, and other creative personalities. Ear tunnels have become fashionable in our country relatively recently. Naturally, it looks very impressive, shocking and even extreme, but the fashion has the ability to go through, and there is no certainty whether this will be relevant in a couple of years. And ear tunnels are not so easy to get rid of, because these are not ordinary earrings that you can not wear, but a small hole will grow over time and there will be no trace of jewelry. But the tunnel in the ear, the diameter of which reached at least one centimeter, will leave a scar for life.
If you still decide on the tunnel, you must first determine its size and method of implementation. It should be pointed out that it is strictly forbidden to make tunnels in the ears on their own, as there is a high risk of infection. Currently tunnels are made in any piercing or tattoo parlor. There are such ways of making tunnels: the first way is to gradually stretch the holes in the earlobe to the desired size. The second method is the most extreme, it is performed in the case when a person knows what size of the tunnel he needs, and this must be done urgently. The third option - the most dangerous, is done with anesthesia, while a hole of the desired diameter is cut with a scalpel in the lobe. With this operation, there is a risk of rupture of the lobe, so it is performed only in specialized salons.

The most common problem is rotting inside the tunnel, sepsis, itching, and this does not necessarily indicate a violation of hygiene requirements during the procedure, the cause may be a feature of the body. Therefore, before deciding to create a tunnel in the ear, you should consult a doctor.
