stuck twisting gauges

[TheGreyEyedMonster]

you're lobes look really thin in spots. how fast did you stretch?

[eliswett]

they aremt rly that thin the pic doesnt do em justice
but i stretche from a fresh piercing in end of august to 5/8 as of about a week or 2 ago

Wow, that is fast, you should have waited 5-6 months before even starting to stretch. I got mine pierced in july and I'm only at at 12g.

[eliswett]

really most people have stretched almost as fast as me none as fast and have had no problems most of them stopped stretching all togethor but are still keeping good sizes and all have good ear health
i feel like you can push the stretching times depending on how quickly you heal
also regarding this thread i actually did get my plugs out took a bit of sanding and dremeling the ridge off the back but eventually was able to pulll them out like double flares and just in time for my big dive meet

I had the EXACT same problem with the acrylic screw-on plugs. Oddly enough they were 5/8, as well. But I had to just take them out as if they were double flares. Mine got stuck because the ridges busted.

[eliswett]

oh ur lucky mine had no flare just a flat ridge they gave me quite the trouble
