  2. wait, are u asking a q?

    so, your ears are at an 18 gauge? normal size?

    i went from 18 to 10. then 10 to 8 to 4 and im now at a 2.

    yah, i always jsut buy one taper and plugs.. well, tunnels now. but yee! have fun! =D

  3. ouch

  4. You're probably at an 18ga. The next size is 16ga. Depending on how long you've had the piercings you can most likely to right to a 14ga. The bigger the hole is, the smaller the number.

    Please note that this is the only time that it's ok to skip sizes. The differences between sizes are very small at this point, but as you get bigger, the difference in size increases.

    You probably won't find any plugs or tunnels in a 14ga, but whatever style jewelry you go with, make sure it's implant grade steel or titanium. No plastics or organics in fresh stretches.

    You will also want to buy a taper for each size. When you get to 6ga or so you can use tape to stretch, but it's just too difficult at smaller sizes.

    Make sure you wait a minimum of 6-8 weeks in between stretches. Your lobes need time to heal from being stretched and going to quickly can cause blow-outs, torn tissue, scar tissue and cat butt effect. Check out www.bodymod.org they have an awesome FAQ on stretching and forums where you can ask questions.

  5. ouch!!!

  6. 1 mm.

    You can't use tunnels until a certain size. But all the infomation is on here.

  7. I can't suggest anything because I think stretched ears look very unflattering... kind of tribe-like.

  8. i stretched my ear from digging it too much (for earwax)
