How to conintue about 0g/8mm

Hey Guys,

I've been watching some stuff on youtube and am now confused.

I've got my lobes to 8 & 9mm and wanted a bit of advice on how to actually do the next stretch when I am ready. Can I use tapers do this? Several people have said not to above a certain size as it causes too much damage to the lobe and to only really use tape. I've never taped before but wasn't sure if this was correct advice.

What do you guys think?

I would say it wouldnt hurt to use tapers as long as it wasnt crazy huge stretches with them. Its generally not the taper itself that peopel dont like them for its the size of the stretch past a certain point, namely 2g-1g and beyond. I would say tape it man, but thats just me.
