Ive been lurking for quite a while. Well here is the story. got my ears pierced at 14g with the intention of stretching. My buddy who was just starting his apprenticeship pierced them but screwed up cause they weren't straight or even. i didn't really notice until i tried to go to 12g after a month. i saw that they looked like shit so i took them out for a couple months to let my ears fully heal.
So, i had my buddy pierce them again, and this time they were good. two months later i went to 12g and had the tapers in there for about a week. and just tonight i put in the plugs? they feel good. i plan on going up a size every two months. I'm using the "body rage expander kit" i bought from Spencers. I bought two kits cause they were buy one get one free.

so i don't need to buy anything until i go to 4 gauge. Oh and my name is john. and i live in sunny south Florida.
Currently 10G. Next stretch: 12/20/2010
