In my opinion, I would use the tape method. Tapering at that size can often cause more damage than anything. Use PTFE tape, plumbers tape, bondage tape..... basically you want a tape that only sticks to itself (in other words no adhesive). Adhesive tape can often irritate fresh stretching because of the toxins in the adhesive. You can add a new layers every other day (listen to your ears, don't push it). It's a lot safer than shoving a taper through your ear.
It's not a revolution, it's a lifestyle.
