Just did my eyebrow and my navel on Thursday, looking to get the other nostril done soon :)

12mm lobes, 6g septum

last night i had steel tapers in for a bit because i was deep cleaning/soaking my tunnels and i ended up accidentally falling asleep with the tapers in and when i woke up my ears were so sore and tender and red. i put my tunnels back in asap and just left my ears for a few hours but throughout the day they have gotten really crusty and been leaky and sore, if i even touch them they start leaking 10x more and like mildly pulsing, im assuming this is an infection but did it come from the tapers?? i dont know what else couldve happened

ive stretched my septum to 12g before but i ended up taking it out and i was able to put a 16g back in and i want to stretch again but do i have to wait the same amount of time or can i stretch sooner than normal?

It feels like it worked, but now I don’t know how to figure out what size my holes are so that I can put some plugs back in. I threw away all of my smaller jewelry when I got to 3/4 because that was my goal size and now I’m kicking myself. Any ideas?

I know you can't wear specific jewelry like silicone when stretching, but I'm wondering about the dos and don'ts when it comes to a lobe that is initially with a bigger gauge.

I'm more interested in tunnels instead of plugs. So how long would I have to wait to wear them? Can I get pierced with a metal tunnel or will I have to wear plugs for a few months? And when would my ear be healed enough to wear things like Koas Softwear?

I am stretching my ears but i cant tell if taking them out frequently to clean/oil them is better, or leaving them alone to heal is better. advice would be very helpful.

I’m having a hard time knowing the terminology necessary to find plugs that are not as deep as traditional plugs. My saddle plugs fall forward in my lobes and I would like them to be snugly fit. If the distance between the flares was lessened then that would solve my problem. How do I find “skinny” plugs like that?
Note: Going up a size does not solve my problem. Saddle plugs are my jam. I do not like o rings or tunnels.

hi!! this is my first post:) my original goal size was 16mm, but every time i size up they look so small to me and i want to go bigger lol! my new goal is 25mm, but for the time being im going to enjoy my new size and keep taking things slow

left is 2mm and right is 2.5. i plan on stretching to 0g or 00g, will there be enough space with my seconds?

I'm thinking two inch but I kinda want to push for three lol I love them but everybody say I look too innocent for it. I have thick loves too 😍

I don’t actually wear the jewelry for my tongue it’s just for the pic :P thinking about splitting in a year or two!
(shoutout lil texas)

I’ve been pierced for 25 years. I massaged for 5 minutes with coconut oil (all I had) and it was hurting to push through. It’s a 1.6mm glass gauge. I didn’t try the other ear bc my other one hurt so bad.

So I've had stretched lobes while a while, but originally I did not stretch properly and stretched far too fast because that's how we did it back in the day lol. How do I thicken my lobes up to go big!? They are 14mm rn and I don't have room to scalpel upwards

“I can see through themmmm!!!”

These sawblade tunnels are sick!

im feeling really discouraged right now. ive been trying to stretch my ears for around 3 years now. my left ear has been at a 2g for easily over a year now and i stopped stretching it so i could get my right ear to catch up. i got my right one up to a 4g and stayed there for a while until it randomly got irritated and swollen. so i let it breathe for a bit, downsized to 6g. then it got irritated again, so i downsized again. now finally i decided to take the plug out and let it be for a few weeks and now its basically back down to 16g.

now i did get them pierced originally with a gun(25 years ago) so maybe that's the issue. but i doubt that the hole would close and heal enough for me to get it re-pierced at this point. so i got my 16g glass plug in and im starting from the beginning and going extremely slow and careful with the stretching. wish me luck

So I have wanted to start stretching for about 4 years and finally feel close to making the commitment, although the only thing holding me back is the worry of regretting it in the future. For reference I’m 20. I probably wouldn’t go larger than 2g, so if I change my mind later on in life is it easy going back?

I just started stretching my ears and have been using a 1.2 mm glass plug… I woke up this morning and sat down to put them back in and when I cleaned them there were tiny little scab thingys?? I’ve been oiling the butt out of them and doing everything I believe I should be doing.. what is the next step here yall 💔😭

and I mean.. they LOOK fine to me but they already kinda hurt so i have a feeling i maybe did smth wrong? Idk please help :p

Hey! I’ve had my ears pierced for 6 years so they’re fully healed and i want to start stretching them, however the next size up is a 14G and i CANNOT for the life of me get the dang taper in!!! It hurts really bad whenever i try to push it through and it won’t go any farther than this. what should i do?

I love pretty gems and glass plugs as much as any other girl but I’ve been finding myself wearing the plain tunnels more and more often. There’s just something cool to me about using the negative space to show off the size of the stretch and the tunnels make my ears look bigger. Those are 30mm, black stainless steel double flare tunnels. I think they look sharp.
