Hey everyone! Im new to this site and i love it already. Anyways, Ive stretched my ears to 00g last night with a taper. Everything went fine and dandy. I wake up this morning (i left the tapers in) and i have a slight swelling on the back of my lobes. Ive kept up with the cleaning. I just dont know what to do any more. Someone please help me out. Ill try to post a picture of it also.
thank you

No need for a picture. The tapers probably got bumped in the night. I would recommend you downsize to 0g to let your ears heal up and try again in a few weeks. Tapers are not meant to be used as jewelry. When you stretch back up, be sure to have plugs ready to follow your taper with. This will save you the same headache.
Good luck!

Something else that might help is to make sure the 00G plugs you get are 9mm instead of 10mm. It can be either and 0G (8mm) to 10mm is a pretty big jump.
