Re: How long to get where u are now
I got my ears pierced at 10G in April of 2009, and started stretching six months later, so I guess I've been stretching for about 16 months or so. With 8G-2G I waited about 8 weeks between sizes (with the exception of 6G; I waited longer for that one), and then I stayed at 2G for four or five months. It was sort of a temporary goal size since I really liked the way it looked and I wanted to get used to my expanding ears and be sure I wanted to make them bigger. Last October (four months ago) I finally went to 1G, where I stayed for three months because my ears just didn't want to stretch. Tried 0G in January and had some complications so now I'm back at 2G. I can still fit my 1G plugs in easily, though, and I plan on going back to 0G eventually.

Re: How long to get where u are now
My ears were pierced at 16g when I was... 8?
Stretched a few sizes and back, nothing drastic.
Started stretching properly, at 12g, nearly 6 years ago now. Stayed at a few goal sizes for a while. A couple of hiccups, but nothign huge.
1" now and staying put this time.

Re: How long to get where u are now
I'm sorry, I have to ask. I'm not tryin to start anything so please don't respond with a flame, but why do you put the 0's instead of o's?ickyvicki wrote: my ears have been pierced since i was lil sO i started stretching at like a 14 i think i started stretching my ears in 08' and nOw my ears are at 7/8ths but they have been this size fOr a while. it tOok me like a year and a half but my ears lOok suuuuuuper healthy and pretti ^.^
The sound of gun fire so loud and rapid, but it seems to be so quiet around me, and out of nowhere I feel peace cover me. I reach down and reload my ticket home. The taste of cold steel on my lips, and a second later silence fills the January air...

Re: How long to get where u are now
I bought a taper set around last November, and at the moment I'm at a 2g in my left lobe. I got my right lobe pierced at 16g about two months and a week ago, currently waiting to stretch. No pain or anything, but I'm giving it a bit to be safe. The only bump I had with my left was going from 6g to 4g after two months caused a rip. Downsized to 10g and worked it up after it healed to a 6g. I picked up some Jojoba to reduce the scarring and to keep a healthy lobe and the problem's pretty resolved now. My ears are pretty resilient and don't take too much time between stretches to heal up nice. I stretched just two weeks ago to 2g and it felt comfortable enough to pull and tug within a few days of stretching.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I started the kit stretching to 10g. Had 12g jewelry in for about two years prior.
