The reason gauged ears smell is because there is a build-up of dead skin cells and oil collecting on your jewelry and around the hole. It's a natural process, but one tends to notice it more, particularly with bigger gauges, because there is a larger skin surface collecting gunk. The best way, I have found, to keep them from smelling, is washing them whenever I am in the shower, and letting my ears and jewelry dry before putting them back in. I've heard some people recommend taking them out while sleeping, and if you are brave enough to risk them shrinking, by all means. At least your skin will have a little time to dry. If nothing else, take a tissue and wipe down your jewelry and ear once a day, that should help alleviate some of the stink.

∙ 14y agoSkin oil will surface when tissue is stretched to it's tear point, lymphatic discharge occurs to lubricate the tissue and allow it to ease and mend. However this discharge must be washed away using a good non scented liquid antibacterial soap, lathered and diluted with water daily or it will start to turn rancid and smell. The piercing will also smell if garlic is consumed the day before as this is carried in skin oil over the entire body, but concentrated where the stretching is occurring.
