Some people think when acrylic is worn for a long time it can release toxins that can irritate your ears. It's also not usually recommended for fresh stretches because it is pretty porous.
The truth is, most people can stretch with acrylic with no problems. I usually don't recommend stuff that's risky at all but this is an exception... If you stretch with it I'd get some jewelry in a better material soon but I seriously doubt anything bad is going to come out of using it.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
