I want to gauge my ears but...?

Question

my left ear hole closed up, and i want to know:

should I get it re-pierced in a different spot than the original piercing

OR get it done in the same spot? cause there's scar tissue...

which one will make it look odd when i gauge them? i want them to look even

sorry if that was confusing >.<

Answer 1

same spot, it would be uneven if it was somewhere else

Answer 2

If it is completely closed up then definitely go to a reputable tattoo shop and ask them about the re-piercing. In regards to stretching,  I started mine (at a piercing shop) from regular gauge (I can&#039;t remember what number) down to about 10 and then the 8, 6, and 4 by myself with tapers. But yes DO NOT SKIP SIZES! You risk blowout and tears. I just recently took out my 4&#039;s cuz I got sick of taking care of them. One thing you get is something called &quot;ear cheese&quot;. It happens a lot while its healing but its basically this white,really smelly discharge. I have had mine down to a 4 for probably a year now and I still got it. I just got sick of the upkeep personally. Just know this: One you start stretching, it is nearly impossible to go back. After you reach about an 8, you can most likely never go back to regular size. It is a permanent modification, so just do your research first.

Answer 3

same spott

Answer 4

yes get it repierced in the same spot.

and slowly stretch in order, dont skip sizes!

good luck!

Answer 5

i would pierce it in the same spot.  but don&#039;t go to the mall... go to a reputable piercing/tattoo studio.  they&#039;ll use a hollow needle to remove the skin rather than punch through it.  this will both remove the old scar tissue and prevent further scarring.  you can also speed up the gauging process this way by starting with a 10 gauge piercing...

Answer 6

I would suggest getting it pierced at a tattoo parlor then. They can pierce it in the same spot with a larger gauge to begin with. That way you can go through the scar tissue and later gauge your ears larger if you want to.
