Plug in baby

I’ll admit right now when I definitely went through an emo style stage when I was in my early teens. It involved alot of black, converse, skinny jeans and listening to emo/indie/pop punk. I’ve grown out of it slightly but not enough to still be drawn to the look of ear tapers, flesh tunnels, plugs etc. I’m definitely not one to go for a huge gauge size but the smaller sizes still appeal to me (and won’t send my mother into shock :P). So you can imagine my surprise when I was browsing TopShop a few weeks ago when I found they sell fake plug earrings. There’s a wider range of styles and colours in store but I personally love the black version I saw yesterday of this silver one I’ve found online.

What about you guys? What do you think about flesh tunnels/plugs?
 
Should they be something brought into the mainstream?
