Dan Clark Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 As pretty much explained in the other topic. I have 14mm currently, maybe going 16 soon. First stretch was 1.6 to 4, which hurt a fair bit actually, first stretches are the worst, but then again are proportionally the biggest. Then 4 to 5 cos I got a free taper from someone, didn't notice even putting it in. Then to 6, again didn't hurt. 6 to 8 by putting tape around my tunnels to make them slightly bigger, went smoothly if I remember correctly. 8 to 10 was worse than 6 to 8, but I think its because I made the tape crappy. 10 to 12 I put in without stretching. 12 to 14 was totally painless also. I'd leave it 6 weeks at least after piercing to stretch. Then after every stretch, 2 or 3 weeks if you're in a hurry shouldn't do you too much harm. I've generally found you can put in 1mm extra everytime without it actually feeling any different, no pain at all. Go to 3 or 4mm at first. Standard ear piercings are usually 1.2mm I think, but lip studs etc are 1.6, so I had those in when I first pierced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainlazy84 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 just out of curiosity what is the attraction of having big holes in your ears? Im not having a go, i just dont get it myself. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minitrialer Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 i don't have them myself but i think sometimes they can look cool, if it's fairly small, but i think Dans main attraction to having them ( and Nick) is that they can both fit a little finger (as long as its not too chubby) through the whole, which is more of a novelty value than anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porn* Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 ive got a 8mm tunnel it only only hurt when i started stretching it........aslong as you keep it clean then it doesnt hurt i found.....but beware... it can get very addictive ive found which can seem quite scary in the long run me thinks....

Richie Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I had a 6 in my ear hurts a bit, if you want to get one strech it slow, adam(thesubway) he pierced his ear with a needle, then went 4 to 6 to 8 and it went all septic lol.

Dan Clark Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 The atrraction is that you like the look of them, or the reaction you get from other people, or maybe you jsut have an interest in body mod. Until about 8mm they heal up perfect, from then on they go a bit funny. But despite what every uneducated person says, no you won't be a 60 year old with big saggy ears.

Rob Thomson Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Ok, not intending to theive topic but i want to take my cartilage peircing in my ear from a 1.6mm bar currently in it, to a 2.4mm bar or closure ring....Is this gonna be possible or not? I know it's bloody sore to stretch cartilage but i'd probably only go to 2.4mm or maybe 3.2 at a very very far push eventually, but in that order first! So no big jump from 1.6mm to 3.2mm!! Is it gonna be at all possible?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it gonna be at all possible?? Its possible, go to your piercing/tattoo place and tell them what you want, and the chances are they will stick a 2.4 needle in. Or Buy a 1.6 to 2.5 metal nail type expander, its gonn hurt either way lol, my cartilage took 8 month to heal lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
