I have been stretching for 8 years and spent years at a 0g. My goal is 1/2 inch.<br /><br />P.S. To anyone asking why anyone would want to stretch, I have bigger fatter earlobes and normal earrings looked bad and made me self conscious. Also I am allergic to most materials and have found that glass is the only material I can wear 24/7 without issues. (Acrylic is awful.)"Normal" size earrings are usually crap metal or plated over crap metal, and I don't do gold.

I think you have really good information but on stretching I would NEVER use tapers past 2 gauge. They tend to put lots of pressure on the ear and can cause blowouts if you put them in too fast. The first time I stretched my ears i almost had a blowout because I was upsizing too fast and putting the tapers in all the way, and this was at 10g! Also i see you mentioned cat butt but a lot of people dont know what it actually is or what causes it. I happened to be one of those people and it took me a long time to fing reliable information on it and how to reverse it.

It's best to use single flared glass and wait at least 3 months to put the next mm in. Your ears self stretch themselves, don't force anything in until they are healed and ready.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-67468535589060865632014-12-21T00:15:02.466-06:002014-12-21T00:15:02.466-06:00Ahh yes the piercing gun.

I know someone who got their cartilage pierced with a gun and the cartilage in her ear split so it never healed and she took it out for some sport she had been playing and it closed within 3 hours. Also, those guns are an infection waiting to happen. I highly doubt they clean those after every use. You could have someone else's blood or other bodily fluids in your skin. I prefer getting piercings done by hand with a needle. I got my ears pierced at claires when i was like 8 and holy shit the infection was real. I had to take the ear rings out and my holes closed. Got them redone I don't remember where but now I've stretched them to a 0g and I'm planning on getting an industrial piercing in one ear.
