Bear and his ears are pretty famous around these parts — it’s probably impossible to count the number of people he’s inspired to stretch their ears, to say nothing of other piercings. But after years of stretching (and, at points, getting up to five-and-a-half inches!), even he runs into trouble sometimes, and he was having a rough go of stretching up his right earlobe. After almost a month of wearing these big-ass, heavy CBRs for eight hours a day, though, he got things moving again, and now, after worrying his ear would never stretch again, has more than enough room for his three-and-a-half inch spool. There’s a lesson in here somewhere, I think.
BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
it seems so strange to see such a famous face without all the piercings. I dug his labret, and it isn’t in this pic. Hopefully things go well for him (in terms of stretching), as well as for anyone with mods.
I wonder how old he is. But yeah his ears areee awesssomeee. how did he function with those cbrs ! dayumm.
also wow; he looks like he has some realll meaty lobes, i cant even imagine trying to stretch my ears that much
do those weights give headaches? yikes.
Im so glad he is back. I wish him luck on his health issues. You can count me in on the ones he’s inspired.
They’re so beautiful. His beard length is almost the same as his ears. Usually the opposite!
yh man iv missed this guy he is an insparation
gd on ya man
his solid black is awesome
That’s really inspiring. I’ve gotten so used to seeing blown out and thinned out 1.5″ lately I forgot there was still patience and beauty out there.
yay for bear!
haha jordan i love your tags for some of these. hearty beards. nice.
his ears are starting 2 look like pork scratching but thats just from age
the most impressive ears ever thou
i picture him living in a hut somewhere, giving life-affirming advice to those in need. haha
bear is just such an icon. love the guy.
Good luck, Bear!
Bears lobes are amazing, honestly I think they look meatier then my 1,6 lobes!
Amazing…
I always picture Bear as a Grandfatherly type that’ll hug anyone and give them worldly advice… And a Werther’s Original…
Such a great man, an insperation to anyone with stretched lobes.
Bear rules!
there should be more humans like him, even without the body art.
Out of all the people that I respect for the extremes they have taken a specific modification to, Bear is definately my favorite and the one that I have the most respect for, probably because he’s such a cool and insightful person.
go bear!
It says on your iam page Bear that you have formulated an oil mixture that helps with the stretching. I’m very interested.
I would love to buy some, want a guinea pig?
love him.
Ever since I first heard of Bear I wished and wished for a relative like him I could go visit on Holidays. Still hasn’t happened, and my relatives are still jerks. 🙁
My right earlobe sucks too… wait a sec. Is Bear right handed?
Uhh why is he so harry??
lol
Since i’m not from the states, i’ve never met him in person,but he looks awesome. i love his stretching.
he sounds kind as well (seen him on Modify DVD).
