I figured y'all would be harsh about it. I did gauge up though, it didn't split my ears or give me a "blow out". I think I'll be staying at this size for a little bit. I have only had gauges for about 2 weeks. Already at a 6, I think? Not really sure honestly. But, I know that gauging up fast is ...

What if I just slowly progress on 6g tapers? Day by day pushing them further?

I'd like to go from a 10 to a 6. I have a high pain tolerance so thats not really the problem. Just wondering if its realllly that bad for your ears. Any suggestions?
