New to Stretching Help (:

[Nijaaa]

Hello Everyone,

Well Im 16 and I asked my mom if I could stretch my ears and she said ok, but it has to be small and be able to strink back to the size I already had. Which is a regular ear piercing. Because in the future I want to be a doctor so I cant have my ears stretched that far.

I want to know if stretching right for me. I wear faux/fake plugs and tapers, but now I want the real thing since everyone now is wearing the faux/fake plugs and tapers.

P.S - I hate pain lol

You could just get fake plugs.

@ alli : she already has those :p
@ nijaaa : uhm i'd suggest you don't go any bigger then 2 or 0 gauge then, that's like the commonly known size to still shrink back to a normal earring hole. just basic rule, don't rush it and take care of your fresh stretched ears with sea salt soaks,

happy boddy modding!

I would say, think it over... even though you only go to a 2 G and they shrink back, they may not be completely as before. My friend only went to a 8G and then took them out, haven't had anything in for years, but when she puts a regular earrring in she gets that "granny"-look where the holes in the lobes look stretched.

But if you want to try it out, go for it Just go slow and enjoy the ride

Well, if you stretch to any size there's no guarantee they'll shrink back to normal but if you keep them at smaller sizes they won't distort the shape of your ear too much. Until I got to about 6G or so the hole pretty much looked "normal-sized" without jewelry.
You probably should stick to fake plugs if you're not totally comfortable with the idea of having larger-than-normal holes in your ears forever. But a lot of plugs at like 0G and below just look like normal earrings so they're fine for jobs and such, especially if you're a girl.
