Just keep in the tunnels that you have for now, wait till your ear fully heals and taper, you can even use the taping method (if you need help with that just pm me ) but your ear should stretch if its ready, if its not then don't force it or you will have a bad experience.

BTW just looking at your name and are you a fan of the band periphery?

[IcarusLives]

That's just the thing though, I've had it this size for a good 8 months, so it should be fully healed by now? I'd hope so anyway :L

Yeah, my name is completely stolen from the song. I take it you're into them too? =]

[ChartwellKerr]

Fuck yeah dude periphery are the shit. good good good metal. and yeah the taper should go through if its been that long of time, does it just hurt too much or how come it wont go through?

[IcarusLives]

Naw there's no pain at all =] I can wiggle it and pull it and everything, but I just can't seem to get it stretched :/ Should I be playing with it before I try to stretch it or will that just make it harder to get jewellery in and out? :/

[ChartwellKerr]

Play with it will help the elasticity and will help it stretch further yes, so if that is what you are trying to accomplish then yes play around with it, make sure the lobe is active

Alright then, I'll do that :L Thanks for the advise! It just seems to swell up easily so I'll try to be careful =]
