I definitely wasn't planning on putting them in immediately. I was thinking about waiting for at least a month before trying. I'm planning on staying at 8g for a while, so I guess I'll need to find something else. Thanks.

So I've been at 10g for almost two months and I'm about to get a 8g stretching kit from bodyartforms. They also have these double flares I think are really nice and affordable. http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?jewelry=plugs&gauge=8g&ProductID=8585&index=7

Where did ear stretching originate and why was it done?

Is ear ...
