Do you have an eccentric look? Then likely you’ll take to the acrylic earrings look. With this style, you are gradually enlarging the hole in your ear. The sizes for the tubular earrings, or tapers, start off at 12 grams and can get as large as 3/4 inch; if you want something bigger, you can find them between 14 grams and 1 inch. The circular earrings, or plugs gauge, range between 10 grams and 3/4 inch. Eventually, the hole in your ear is wide enough to see through. Many people place the larger circular earrings in their ears to give it a special effect. Others like to stick the taper earrings in their ears instead. Both are pretty cool to look at and are very popular in different crowds — mostly the goth, rock and other unique crowds. If you’re into being different, you may take to these acrylic earrings very nicely.

There are different colored acrylic earrings to choose from as well. With the tapers, you can find clear, white, black, light blue, dark blue and lime green that glows in the dark. Then with the circular plugs gauge, you can find them in colors like silver / stainless steel and black with designs. These can all be purchased at pretty good deals — you have to buy each pair separately. For those who are just starting out, it’s best to buy them as you go along. The piercing will stretch slowly and comfortably with the design of the tapers and they grip pretty well. These earrings are top of the line and are made with great quality to make your experience as easy going as possible.
