Confused

Hi everyone,

I have been doing my research on stretching and have decided to go for it :D
I have a few questions for the peeps that are in the no!

1) can I stretch my second hole in my lobe without it effecting the first hole?
2) which is the best to stretch with a taper or the half moon type things....pincher (sp?)

I will be starting on the go slow approach bit at a time....going to try a 2mm and stop at 5mm. I'd rather take it slow as I DO NOT WANT A BLOW OUT! Wow they look really sore :shock:

Thanks for any info and help....

You can stretch a second hole without affecting the first. Stretching with a taper, I feel is better. I've stretched with pinchers before but have had problems with them staying in position, even with 0-rings on them, they seemed to rotate on me when I would sleep. Pinchers are better for healed piercings but they can be used to stretch in a pinch. Good luck.
1 1/4" each lobe. 2g septum. 12g lebret.
6g tongue retired. 12g Hand webbing retired. 12g bridge retired.
12g madison retired. 10g ampallang regretfully retired.

Stretching goal: 1" again. No real need to stop if my ears still want to go.

Re: Confused

If you are only going to stretch to 5 mm, then you can stretch your seconds with no problem- if you were to go really big, they could end up getting too close (and then you could merge them).

Whether you use tapers or pinchers, is up to you and your liking, but either way; they are a tool for stretching and should NOT be left in. You slide it through and immediately afterwards put a plug in (glass, steel or titanium).
