I've stretched my ears up to a 1/2 inch before- using plumber's tape, then switching to bondage tape, daily massages, SSS, and using BioOil (didn't have a credit card then, and I couldn't find Jojoba Oil anywhere around here.)
But then because of work, I had to take my plugs out. I finally convinced my boss to let me stretch them back up again, so here we are. My left ear took to the 1/2 inch plug like an old best friend, but my right ear had some problems. It hurt a few days later, and I could barely move the plug so I managed to take it out and it bled. A lot. I've never had any sort of bleed before so I freaked, cleaned it with many q-tips, and downsized back down to a 00g.
What should I do now?
