Slight Injury, need some advice

Let's start with that I'm only at a size 2 and have been at it for about a week. Yesterday at a show a elbow to the ear pushed the flared part of the jewelery into the fistula, though how much as embedded i'm not exactly sure as i pushed it back out when i noticed. It bled a wee bit, nothing drastic ...

Thickened ear lobes

I'm currently at a 2g and I've noticed since i've started stretching my ear lobes have become increasing thicker in terms of width from the from to the back of the hole. Is this normal and is there anyway to reduce it? I wear internally threaded double flared screw on steel tunnels and the wearable ...

Leaving jewelery out overnight?

At what size would this be advisable to give the lobes a breather?

I'm only at a 6 so i'm a bit weary on them potentially closing or greatly shrinking due to the small size.

Advice on oil

So i came across on this oil that is composed of "Grapeseed, Safflower, Avocado oil blend with jojoba, vitamin E and arnica".

Will the other ingredients besides the jojoba and Vitamin E potentially be a detriment to my ears, and if so should i pass on this and just stick with the basics?

Re: Rant

Some people have problems listening to their own advice, or any for that matter. Fortunately and Unfortunately with stretching it's evident who can/can't. The people with puuuuuurdy healthy lobes obviously could, the ones who couldn't are or will surely regret it soon.

Re: 8 to 6

I managed to get them in with a bit force, nothing to drastic. Every other stretch prior experienced no pain so when this one actually did i was a bit worried. I'm a lefty and i always start with my left lobe and that one seems to be a bit more stubborn then the right. The right went in to problem ...

8 to 6

Can't get it through, 8's have been in for over 2 months. Any pointers? Pain begins at the point where the taper hits size 6. I try right after a hot shower and use oil for lubricant.

Skipping 12, ill-advised?

Alright so I've recently gotten into ear stretching. I had my ears pierced at a 14, where I'm at now. I know skipping any size is generally a bad idea but would going from 14 to 10s be too drastic of a jump?
