Old Blowout, new problems...

So i stretched to 3/4 like 2 months ago an a week after i stretched to it my friend had his bday which he invited me to go skydiving. Finally we were in the plane and we were going to jump, so i popped out my tunnels and put em in my pocket. Once we parachuted to the ground i went to put in my tunnels, my right ear went in fine then i went to put in my left and it took a little force to get in. The next day i woke up with a small white blowout, i of course downsized to 5/8, then to 9/16. The blowout got smaller but never went away completely. So now im at 7/8 with taped tunnels and my blowout is slightly more noticable, at least to me it looks fuckin huge. In comparison to my other ear it is disgusting. I dont know what to do, im thinking maybe ill stretch to my goal, then get the blowout cut off. What do u guys think, cuz for the life of me i cant figure out what would be the best course of action?
Heres a couple of pics...

Put your plugs backward for a while: you should did it when the blowout was fresh...

Re: Old Blowout, new problems...

It doesn't look too bad
To be honest it probably isn't going to go anywhere now. If you've done the whole downsizing thing, and its healed.
One of mine looks a little like that (though mines rather smaller), mine appeared randomly overnight, no clue why. If I insert plugs from the back, it sort of goes inside, squashes it and I don't see it anymore :)

All the ones I've seen cut off have been rather larger to start with. So I dunno about that...

Amazonite is so pretty.
I've been dying for these for ages, though they're out of my size, again. Image

Re: Old Blowout, new problems...

They just have 5 & 6mm, and 2" at the moment :/ They're on sale and everything
They're USA amazonite.
They just replenish stock when they stumble across new stock (as in massive lump of rock). Though they'll probably make some more eventually, no clue knows when...

I also want some labradorite. But its bloody expensive to get some with good flash

Re: Old Blowout, new problems...

Yah, pretty rocks don't come cheap!
I normally buy economy ones on BAF, ask to see remaining pairs in my size. And pick my faves of them. They do their best to ship the ones you ask for. Theres so much variation, you can't really tell what you're gonna get otherwise...
At least I'm not disappointed that way :)

Re: Old Blowout, new problems...

Yeah, but when all the pictures have pretty veining in, and they turn up plain grey or something. I get rather disappointed.

Its happened a few time with economy things (like almost totally white howlite, REALLY dark flourite etc etc). Premium are pretty much bound to be pretty or interesting in some way, otherwise they get put in the blemished or limited box :)
