Ear stretching: Why is lobe 'gauging' growing in popularity?

Ear stretching goes back a long way.
But you don't have to visit a museum or travel to a remote-ish part of the world to see it because the practice has been adopted in many Western countries.
However, it is not so common that it goes unnoticed. Stretched piercings do tend to stick out like the proverbial sore thumb, particularly if the hole is substantial enough to hold a small object.
For many people, there is an "ouch" or an "eugh" factor when they see someone with a substantial ear lobe stretch but for those that have it done, it is a thing of beauty.
