Surprise stretch up!

So stoked! Just going about my ear care routine, and I wanted to see if the next size plugs would fit my ears... and damn if they didn't just slip right on in there! I'm now the proud parent of a 4g ear :) Ah, surprises are the best!

Starting the Taping Method, and Polymer Jewelry.

So, after my ear recovered from its tiny tear and I was sure I was ready to start again, my stretching began once more. I had to restart from a 16g, which kind of sucked, and I used tapers up to size 8. After that, I realized my ears really did not take well to stretching up using tapers as the ...

Is something wrong, again?

So, recently, I tried to stretch up too fast, and I tore my ear just slightly. I took my jewelry out and allowed it to heal a bit, and I realized the back closed up on me (it was a small size, hah). So I put a normal 18g earring in, and had to pop it through a little bit. A few days later I put a ...

Great! That's what I thought. 8 weeks of waiting sounds a lot better than having a blowout for the rest of my life. I'm doing it the healthy way from now on!

Re: Well, that's what I get, I guess!

So, right now, I think the infection is mostly gone, since I've been cleaning it with sea salt soaks twice a day, and I took the jewelry out to let it heal, so I can start over fresh when it does. Do you think January would be a good time to see if it's healed?

Well, that's what I get, I guess!

So, I woke up this morning to clean my ears, when I notice that my right ear, which I just stretched up a couple days ago, is still kind of puffy. Not normal. I took out the plug with some discomfort, and lo and behold, it's t's infected, with a little pus and blood. And if I look closer, I can see ...

Cute! Well, since you're a guy, I guess I should say, cool! I wish I had the tools to make things like that.

Re: A little tenderness & stinging after stretch

Right! It's always Lindsey or even Lyndsei.
And thank you for your advice, I suppose you can never wait too long!

Hey, guys & gals

Hey there. I'm Lindsay, 17, junior. I'm excited to begin my mod journey, starting with stretching my ears. I'm currently at a 12g in my right ear and a 14 in my left (simply because, at one point, my 14 in my left ear fell out, so I have to size up one at a time). My goal is to be at a 0g or 00g. I ...
