Questions on Stretching (Newbie)

I don't really like the word "newbie", but it works. So I will be getting some stretching done next week, but I have a few questions. I have two shops in mind, both around same price range, so money isn't an issue. Both say 12g even a 10g is a good size since I already have my ears...

My blowout. Advice please?

I had been at 00g for what felt like a month (they felt really healed to me - I had them forever, longest I ever stayed at one size). I'm usually really careful with stretching because I fear blowouts A LOT. But one day I went to Hot Topic and purchased 7/16'' and 1/2'' taperz. My...

High Nostril Issue

I got my high nostrils done 4 days ago and Im having a problem with my left side. The piercing seems to be "sinking" into the hole and Im not quite sure why. When i first noticed this i went back into the shop and the piercer replaced the jewelry with a longer noses screw. I have been doing...

How To Make Facial Piercings Discreet...

Okay, so I'm planning on getting a Medusa piercing in a few weeks. Presently, the only facial piercing I have is my nostril (a tiny gem) and my ears are stretched to 0 gauge. I've been at my office job for a number of years now. Before I got my nostril pierced, I had asked my employers what their...

Rook?

Ok. So I have a while to wait and think about this. I'm getting surgery in January for my foot so i have to wait til after that, but I'm looking for something kind of funky and semi cute for my ears. I have two holes in each of my lobes currently, one set of which are stretched to 4g. I've...

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...
