Re: Help needed. Never experienced this before
keep cleaning it. your ear mustve shrunk when you fell asleep and you never stretch with silicone or vasoline. Invest in some good oils like vitamin e oil and jojoba oil, it's worth it. When you wash it use hot salt water and clean it 2-3 time a day. try wearing ear muffs or something that will ...

Re: The ever shrinking hole :/
This is common but what I would do is massaging your ears with oils of your choice which ever works best for your ears but invest into some nice jajoba oil or vitamin e oil etc. So this is common yes and the way to help it is to wear the same sized plugs and let them sit in for a while longer. Try ...

Re: Pierced too low to stretch to 00?
Depending on what size your going up to I would just be careful and take it slow because it is far down. The size I would suggest to stop at is a 2g or 0g just because you dont want to rip it. In this situation wait more than a month between each mm stretch and if its a 2mm stretch wait 6 months now ...

Re: Can I stretch?
Youll be fine. Just dont stretch to fast and do your research! I would suggest stretching videos on youtube to give you some tips. A 8g or a 6g wont be hard to achieve but I would go really slow to get the best looking lobes. For a good youtuber on stretching lobes and finding good tips and a person ...

Re: Just got pierced 16gauge: when can I swap out jewelry?
For your lobe to heal from the piercing is about 6-8 weeks. So to switch out the jewelry just basically wait till its healed. The type of jewelry you want to put in will barely be see through because of the small size. To start stretching your ear I would wait about 6 months to a year for your ear ...

Re: Stretching Kit Issue! Taper 16g Tunnel 14g
Wearing a 16g taper for a couple of weeks is fine if you dont mind having to sleep with them and shower with them. Starting with a 14 wont be that bad because of its small size but walmart sells horseshoe rings in 16g and so does Hot Topic so you can always pick up a pair and wear those for a couple ...

Re: Ears are itchy and red around the rings
What is most likely happening is when your went to a og is that your ears might not have been ready and your ears probably dont like the acrylic some people have problems with it. If im stretching with acrylic I wait longer until I dont need to use the taper and just wear the acrylic plugs that way ...
