My favorite thing about todays fashion is that it feels like everything is in style.

And nowhere is this more apparent than in their approach to styling their ears.

So I made an appointment to start an earscaping journey of my own.

I didnt even have to leave Studs to know that earscaping is going to be an issue for me.
