I wouldn't want to have that on newly stretched ears. Your skin has a chance of literally healing into the tape, which is scary. lol Granted, it doesn't happen to everyone, but we can't predict who it does happen to. Don't take the risk, you know? I'm glad you took the tape off!

I think you should take the "Pwns" out of your name, it would be more fitting.
If your ears blew out, you should downsize and baby your ears until they heal up properly.
Unless you're happy living with blowouts on your ears, that is. Then just disregard me.

I mean, if having huge lobes quickly is more important to you than having attractive lobes, that's fine, but don't tell other people to do the same and expect healthy ears.
Anyway, definitely go to 1G. 2-0 is way too big of a jump for most people. It'll be hard finding tapers in that size, but bodyjewelleryshop.com and steelnavel.com should have some fairly inexpensive plugs at that size. I dead-stretched to 1G (meaning no tapers or tape, just putting the plug in) and it was my easiest stretch. You'll also want to wait longer than a month.

The point of downsizing is to let your ears relax and heal so you can get rid of the blowout. If you just leave it and keep stretching it's going to get worse and worse, not heal.
