I started stretching before letting my piercing completely heal. I'm currently at 10g with single flared tunnels in. I figured I should let the inside of my ears heal completely before going up to 8g and beyond. Will my ears be able to heal with my tunnels in? My holes are still raw and open. I'm ...

Daily emu oil rubs, downsize and stretch back up again, refrain from stretching too fast, lobe rubs in general. It won't be a short process though, it might take a while, but in the end will be worth it. Good luck!

I think you should keep the 14g in and try your best to keep it from falling out. Keep up the seasalt rinsing, and wait a few weeks for the hole to heal and you can get right back to stretching! Try not to skip a size next time. It might not hurt at first, but you'll regret it in the future, I'm sure.

okay. i'm excited to start stretching i'm so eager haha. i'm so tempted to just pop the 14g taper in already. thanks, both of you!

Should I take it out and put in a normal, metal stud? It seems ...

The earrings I healed with were 16g. I healed with fake plugs and the bar was 16g. How do I know when my lobe piercing is completely healed? I can take my earring out to clean it, and my hole is just fine. Doesn't hurt or anything when I remove or insert my earring. I'm sure that doesn't mean it's ...

I seeee. I'll definitely put some thought into it. As much as I want to get going now, I guess I'll just have to wait. Another question, can tapers be worn as jewelry? I hear about the uneven stretching/irritation tapers cause when worn as jewelry. But at a size at, say 8g, does it really change ...

Six months.. :\ I was hoping or six weeks honestly haha. I understand why six months, but what are the repercussions of stretching in just six weeks instead? Im only going as far as maybe 6ga or 4ga. If I were going bigger I'd definitely wait 6 months just so my lobes will be that much healthier ...

I pierced both lobes about 2 weeks ago myself. My ears never were irritated, infected, or anything like that. It feels like my piercing are healed already, but my friend said it takes about 6 weeks to heal completely.

Question is, when should I start stretching? Now? At the 6 week mark? Any sort of ...
