Hello ( I know this wasnt directed at me personally but since I do give "somewhat strict "advice ...)id like to say
I try and give the best advice that I know and Im sorry if i come across as rude .. I have no intention on being rude and Im sure most of the people on here that give " stricter " advice are intending to be mean in any way but I can only speak for me ... as far as tapers they arent the worst thing you can do I just wouldnt risk wearing them in My ears for jewelry ( I mean I wear spirals and hangies and Im sure alot of people disapprove of that )( but I make sure My ears are nice and healed before I wear things that could distort the shape of the hole ..shit i wait a super long time in between stretches way longer than needed lol but thats just me ) .. My main dislike of taper as jewelry is that I just dont think they look good and if you are wearing something thats bulky uncomfortable and dont look good you arent gonna feel happy about leaving it in for 4 -6 weeks so your stretch can heal .. if you have a cool set of plugs in each size it helps you stay happy at that size for longer .. or at least it helps me lol
and I know that can get expensive but Mods are an investment for your future .. I use Tattoos as an example alot .. you could go to some scratcher down the street and get all scribbled up for 20 $ or you could pay hundreds and have an amazing piece of art to last your whole life .. now either way you might have a sleeve done but what sleeve do you want ? 20 $ scribble ? or 1000 ART ? ...you get out of things what you put in them .....

again to EVERYONE sorry if My advice comes across as rude thats not My intention at all

ps super affordable plugs 1:50 - 4 $ per set buy one get one free .. its perfect for people not wanting to spend alot on plugs they wont be wearing for long http://www.bodymodern.com/

Well I do wear my tapers for about two days then switch to plugs...I'm am not one to do these thing just saying. And I do appreciate you saying sorry and making sure Noone takes Your advice as being rude. I agree 110% about what you say about tattoos I have spent alot of money on a few of my tatts,and people call me crazy but if u think about it...you can spend 1000 on nothing in two weeks why not something your going to have for life. Love the body mod art and I hate to see people drive people away with rude comments. Love your style

No one's "jumping down your throat," they're just trying to help you have a better stretching experience.
