Stretching...

ah...so I've been at a 2g in my ear cartilage piercing (i think it's called a helix but whatever lol) for 7 months now. I've tried to stretch it to 0g (I've tried to stretch it 2 times) but only got halfway through and didn't try to force it in, so no bleeding/tears or anything. Anyhow, it's being a nuisance and I don't really like taping....so is there a place where I can get 1g tapers/plugs? Do they sell them at a store or just online?
Right ear: 0g, two 6gs on lobe; 2g on cartilage....
goal: 00 on lobe! perhaps a 0g on cartilage?

Left ear: 8g, two 14gs on lobe; 14g on cartilage
goal: 00 on lobe!

Re: Stretching...

The only place you could probably get 1G plugs not online would be a piercing studio, and even then you'd probably have to ask them to special order it. Glasswearstudios.com and crazy-factory.com have the biggest selection of 1G jewelry that I've seen. bodyjewelleryshop.com has some too.
2G-0G is too big of a jump even for lobes, so it's definitely too much for a cartilage piercing.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
