I've Been Thinking About Ear Stretching...?
I want to stretch my ears. Right now, I'm at an 18 or whatever gauge it is when you first pierce your ears... I don't have $20 to spend on tapers and plugs every time I more up a size and I read online that you could use pinchers and just slowly push them into your ears instead. I know its risky but I just want to know the first step and the cheapest way to do this...

You can find tapers for like $10 ,get some plugs for another $15 and your set for a bit. Maybe go to a pierce shop and have them do it for you! usually you can make a deal on stretching + jewelery

That's true, you can also tape your ears. Like get a small size gauge and tape them up till they get to the size you are comfortable with, then buy a pair of gauges that are that size and put them in. Me personally I always spent money on my stuff, and I admit I've spent a lot of money on them... but I'm fine with that. :) It's all up to you how you would like to do it. If you have anymore questions or need help just let me know and I would be more than happy to answer them!

Thanks for clearing that up, my g/f is at a 20G as well and is contemplating on stretching her ears. Im pretty sure she can make it to a 14G in one sitting.. We''ll see
