I think i have reached my ears limit of stretching cuz my cartilage is really pressed up against my tunnel, ne one else have this? =(
I also got my lips pierced whatcha think? Ima get em pierced again on each side wider so i can wear rings on the outside and spikes on the inside.

Sounds like your ear may have been pierced too high, and you're just stretching too fast... there's really nothing you can "do" except be patient, stop at that size for a while, and try to continue stretching.

Thats the thing. I wasnt pierced high up. I had really small lobes to begin with. I havent been stretching at all for like 3 months. I havent stretched that ear in such a long time. I added one layer of tape past 1 inch and it keeps freaking out whenever i add that one layer just past an inch. It doesnt want to stretch ne more =(

Hmm, it does look a little sore at the top :/
How thick are your lobes at the bottom?

ya, my lobe is pretty thick at the bottom, its not thinning like my other one but it seems like the tunnel is putting pressure on the cartilage. =(

Is it possible that you've just stretched as far as your ears will allow?
I've never seen that happen to anyone before.

looks more like a friction problem

i get that sometimes, mainly a friction thing for me. a longer wearable keeps it off my antitragus, and avoiding square flares.
for some reason its mainly whn i wear orings on front...
i had TINY lobes, so although pierced too high for most people, were just right for me.

If i were you i'd totally put in studs for angel bites, not a fan of the rings

Its weird. cuz today i looked at my ear and i still have like scar tissue buildup on my cartilage right where the flare has cut my ear, but i pulled on my plug and i had room so i put in a 1 inch tunnel instead of the taped 7/8 and it feels wayyyyyyy better. Its still a lil sore but not painful anymore, im thinking maybe the irratation was from wearing the taped plug for way to long. The new tunnel i got barely has a flare so its not cutting into my ear. Ima sit at an inch for a few months at least while i stretch my other ear back up. i hope i havent reached my limit, cuz 1 inch is startin to look small =(
