They're just generic wood plugs I got from a local "hippy" shop.

Once I reach my goal size, I plan on investing in high quality organics from onetribe and omerica.

That definitely wasn't scolding, I just don't understand why people are in such a hurry to stretch...

Lol it was lighthearted when I said 'scolding' haha. I just want people to know I'm not one of those jackasses who thinks he can get away with pushing 2mm every other day through his ear until it rips.

There's no particular reason for me to be rushing it the way I am now, i guess I'm just an opportunistic person and grab for the next level all the time. If my ears will let me stretch, then I will.

It's never hurt, never bled, never blown out (well unless you count the skin ripping I had early on at 6g, I think that was some kind of scab though). I understand that I'm creating a potential for those things through scarring, though. Which hasn't happened. My lobes are relatively easy to stretch, and are healthy.
