Regular tapers or pinchers?

I got my septum pierced at a 16, and ever since I've used pinchers to stretch. I'm at an 8g and it's really, really hard for me to get in the 6g pinchers I've ordered. And I was wondering if I used one of those long tapers (you would usually use for your ear lobes), would it go in easier...

First stretch to 14g on gunned ears.

Hey gang- glad to finally be a part of the forums. Anyway, did my first stretch from your average mall-gunned lobe piercings two days ago to 14g pinchers. Everything is going well, except that both (especially my right ear) are very tight. Especially with gunned piercings I was expecting this, but any...

Stretching septum from 8g to 6g?

I've had my septum at an 8 for at least 2 or 3 months, I've tried at least 3-4 times to stretch it to a 6. But it seems like it's nearly impossible.. I'm planning to stop at a 6 for a while, if I can ever get to it. Any tips? I use emu oil on my 6g every time I try to slide it in, it...

Jewelry in stretched holes

Hi guys! Soon, I'm planning on my first stretch, up from my current well-healed 10g lobes to an 8g, and my target size is 6g. I know I'll have to wait a few months between 8g and 6g, and I need stationary jewelry to heal around (like plugs or captives). What I'm curious about is, do I leave...

Need a little advice...

Ok...so here's the story. I got my ears pierced a little less than a month ago. Unfortunately it didn't go so well. Here's the background - I got my lobes pierced at a 12g, right away I noticed one was practically sideways in my ear, the angle she had pierced it at was all wrong, though the...

I think I was lied to...

Sorry if this seems silly, I'm just super annoyed/worried, haha. Back in March I decided I wanted to stretch my ears, but I didn't know much about it so I went to the only place I had ever gotten pierced before and started asking questions. They had a new piercer, but claimed she was just as...

I think I tore my lobes?

So I was going from an 8 to a 6. I feel stuuupid. I only waited like 2 weeks. My friend had told me if I tear my lobes, I could get "cat butt." And I took out my new cresent tapers(which I put in last night), and I found blood. And my ear lobe looked like a cat butt. -.- I don't want this...

Too much, too soon.

Hey, I'm looking for a little advice about stretching. So don't yell at me, because now I know I was stupid! I recently decided to stretch, and a friend said I should try using steel spirals to stretch. So I got a pair of spirals to stretch with- I jumped from a 12 gauge to a 6 gauge within a...

ah help!

So I've read this forum for a while and have never made an account. But I really feel like I need help now and so I'm asking for some advice: My ears are currently at an 8ga. They've been there for about 2 and a half months, and were doing just fine. Currently I have single flare stainless...

Stretching problem

Both my ears are at 9/16ths and my left is getting thin at the bottom because it was pierced too low. I do oil rubs almost everyday with jojoba oil. Ive done the downsizing thing several times. Each time i keep them out longer than before. The left one seems like it has thickened but after a day or two...
