Ear stretching!

I bought my first ear taper today and I'm super nervous. Got the smallest one I could find, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be super super super painful because getting normal earrings in my lobes have been difficult lately since I've gone years without using earrings.

Any of you guys got your ear stretched? How big? Any tips?

i know something lolz XD
well i already told ya alot ingame i just wanted to post a picture of my strech and my strechers XD

10 mm strech tunnel

omg talk about a huge picture XD

well these are my strechers XD

from bottom and up its a 1mm to 2.5 mm spiral - a 0.5mm to 1.5mm spiral - a 0.8 mm to 3mm spiral - a 1mm to 5mm spiral - a 3.1mm to 7mm spike - a 4mm to 9.7mm spike and then my 10mm tunnel which isn't on this pic XD

Spirals look so awesome.

Yeah, disgusting.

You saw what you wanted to see, not what you were supposed to see.

My sentence regarded the whole idea of ear stretching to be disgusting.

I knew perfectly what you meant, I was simply adding more to the thread. :3

I think I fucked my ear up after all. :-(

Bleeding?
What hmakes you think that?
And didnt i tell you to be careful? >.<

I was careful. Took it really slow, didn't even have the taper in the full way. I took it out to clean for the 2nd time and ended up bleeding.

hmm just keep going but slowly stay at that size for a couple of days maybe 3 or more
the speed of which your ear will accept the streching is different from person to person

i had a short bleed too on the 5mm XD i just washed of the blood cleaned the spiral and put it back in and went back to my computer like nothing happened tho ofc i kept a good eye on it XD

so if you feel secure do that if not do whatever you think is right

send me a pic of that taper cause i tryed that my spiral poked my hole so it started bleeding too could be the reason ?

bad pic is bad, but yeah. it's 2mm.

hmm first of all get rid of those elastic -.- they are root of all infection in a new strech -.-
and i guess you could have scratched yourself withthe pointy end of the taper without realizing it cause i really din't realize it before i could see it when it were my spiral which did that to my ear

Well, the elastics are helping me keep an idea of how far I can insert it into my ear without any discomfort, not to mention I have a regular cleaning routine, but not too regular to cause further irritation to my ear. It's possible I just grazed it on the way out, either way I've eased up on the stretching thus now only entering about 1/2, whereas before i was entering 3/4.

okay i hope it works out for you and i just wanted to warn you that those elastics are bad XD

Hope everything goes well, Elli.
