You may not know this, but wearing tapers at larger sizes can truly fuck up your ears, so excuse me for being worried that someone was actually doing it.

Also I'll remember that the day you come crying to the forums with fucked up lobes asking for help, I'll simply reply to you saying "They're your ears, do whatever you want with them."

To the OP, I'm glad to hear you don't wear them as jewellery, your picture just had me concerned.
I've heard (but can't confirm) that emu oil is the best for lobe thickening. That as well as sleeping with naked lobes, and downsizing then re-stretching.
Also the best way to stretch at that size is with tape, and not tapers/expanders, since the tape gradually stretches you instead of forcing your ear to a new size.
I am aware that uneven weight can royally mess up your ears. All you fucking did was make a sarcastic comment. You weren't helping anybody. If you truly can't see that, then you've just lost my attention. And if my ears one day do get fucked up, I most certainly won't be looking for your help in particular. When you say something like "Please don't tell me" it implies someone is doing something wrong, and your laughing at him. If you were trying to help him yous should have said " Btw, wearing tapers at such large sizes will mess up your ears". That's simple.

Butthurt much? I think you're projecting.
But anyways, I've lost your attention, oh woe is me. I'll live. Maybe next time you shouldn't stick your nose into business it has no place being and you won't get burnt.

To op, down size a little bit and do daily massages with Jojoba oil. That will thicken your lobes. Use Teflon tape to tape up to you new size (see http://www.earstretching.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1065). Since your ear isn't physically near me your going to have to make the judgment of whether or not to go that big. If you are even questioning whether there will still be enough lobe after downsizing and taping, it probably isn't the best idea.
