I know that "stretching should be viewed as a permanent modification," but I'm going to let my holes shrink as much as I can I took my 2gauge plugs out and put 8g cbr's in. My question is is there anything that I can do to help the hole gets smaller? I only had the holes at 2gauge for a week, I know that for most people that is the gauge of no return, but I'm hoping I can get them down to about 10 or 12 gauge.
thanks

You should be fine.

ok, will vitamin e massages help??

vitamin e might help loosen your lobes instead of helping them shrink...

why are you shrinking your lobes anyway?

I was letting them shrink in the hopes that it would help me find a job faster and easier, but after a week I looked in my mirror and realized that my ears were boring and I missed have 1/4" holes so I stretched them out again. I'm getting rid of my second holes i don't like the way they look its a 16gauge now, does anyone have any advice on making it less visible?
