I have had my ears pierced for 7 years and will be doing my first stretch from 18g to 16g shortly. I will use acrylic tapers as they won't be in my ear for too long. The only plug I could buy that was stainless steel had a screw on back and i want to know if it will be a bad idea to use this as the screw part could hurt the inside of my ear? Do you think it would be better to buy different plugs and if so where could i get this from for a good price in the UK?
Also most places seem to sell pairs of plugs and since i am only stretching one ear this seemed like a waste of money. Any advice on this as well?
Thanks
