2g to zero help!

I have had 2g flesh tunnels in my ears for about 3 months and decided to go to a zero. I took a zero gauge sized straw and got that in with a little pain. So I've had them in for 3 days and they are killing me to just touch a little and they' super puffy and I took out the straw and both ears wear bleeding a little and the hole looks terrible. I have them out right now so what should I do to get to the zero now safely. Thanks

Put your 2g plugs back in. Wait for them to heal back up. Then get some 0G tapers to stretch your ears

Re: 2g to zero help!

lol straws arent a gud idea. I wouldnt recomend dead stretching either, especially without regular plugs. Like Tom said, get some 0g tapers, your ears will thank you =D

Re: 2g to zero help!

Going from 2G to 0G is actually skipping a size; you shouldn't go more than one milimeter at a time but 2G is 6mm and 0G is 8mm. You can get 1G (7mm) online or you can just stretch with PTFE/teflon tape, or get some 1G plugs and try to dead stretch.

Just about every glass company makes 1g plugs and tapers. A lot of people go there between 2 and 0.

You know, it's not because you have the possiblity to buy plugs by internet that everyone have it. I never seen 1g plugs in a piercing shop.
