Need some helpfull advice please!
so ive had 2g dbl flared tunnels in for lil over a mnth now and i got some 2g flared plugs and i got my left one in, but my right is a bit tuffer, and i think i got a lil tear in it cuz its bleeding. I put the tunnel back in. Wondering if i should just shove the plug in and leave in for a wile and heal up or just leave tunnel in now??
Re: Need some helpfull advice please!
Where do I start?
If you're bleeding, there's a tear. That's bad news. I would downsize to 4g to take the pressure off your fistula and let it heal. I would say 8 good weeks would be a safe amount of time before you restretch. When you downsize, don't massage your ears or put stuff on them. Just leave them to heal.
Second: never force jewelry in. Just "shoving" something in is a recipe for disaster. If the plug won't fit, leave it out and take some time away from it before you try again. Skin will loosen around your jewelry over time. Eventually wou should be able to fit the dbl flared jewelry, but that's not exactly a promise. Some people can wear double flare jewelry and some people can't. Only time will tell.
Finally, if you do shove the jewelry in and the. Let it heal, you may not be able to get it out again. It's far worse to have jewelry stuck in your ear than laying on your dresser, unable to fit.
Tl;dr downsize and heal. Time is your friend. Try it again when your ears are ready.
