Stretching ear piercings from posts to gauges ?

Gradually go up in your gage size. For instance say you are at an eight, don't skip to four, but go to six.

well... i have gauges that are a size 1/2.

usually when you first get an ear peirce it's either a size 20 or 18.

the larger the number the smaller the gauge and vise versa.

don't skip any sizes cause that could lead to tearing, infections, and scarring.

you use tapers to stretch your ear lobes and depending on how fast your ear heals is when you go up a size.

people say that 00 is when you can take them out and they'll eventually go back to normally, some think that it's a 0 or 2 but a friend of mines had 00 and it went back to normal so. yeah

i suggest that if you know what size you want buy only one taper per size. this will save you some money. [by one at a 18, 16, 14, etc] do one ear at a time. that;s what i did until i got it to the size i want it.

hope this helps. :]
