Why wont my ears stretch?

[Macaroni]

I have always been envious of the stretched ear look. I got my ears pierced in June-July, about 7-8 months ago. I put in a 16g pincher in October. For Christmas I got a taper kit 14g-0g along with stretching jojoba oil. I put in a 14g taper but now, 3 months later a 12g taper still wont go all the way through without hurting. I massage my ears with the oil and take a hot shower before trying to stretch up but my ears still hurt. When I originally got my ears pierced, it look the piercing gun a couple of tries to fully get through my ear so I assume I have really hard and thick earlobes. Is there any advice or directions anyone could give me to stretch my pain in the ass earlobes?

Well, piercing guns are horrible tools that cause way more trauma than necessary so you might have some scar tissue from that. Also, you did your first stretch a little too early so your lobes might still be recovering from that. Just leave them at the 14G for a while and keep trying 12G every now and then... it'll go in eventually. Everyone has certain stretches that are difficult.

I had my ears pierced by my mom with what i THINK might have been a 16g needle xD like you one of my ears, my right one, took a few tries apparently to get it to go threw right, I still have problems stretching that ear even though they were pierced more then 10 years ago and i only just started stretching a few months ago. :p
You might just have fussy lobes like mine. Just take it slow, they might not be completely healed, even if they stopped hurting.
