Another piercing question...

[Drunken_Weasel]

if anyone has ever stretched their lobes whatsoever (from normal pierce (18/16g?) to a 14, or even bigger.. what exactly did you do to do so? I am debating whether or not I should go ahead and shove these 14g curved barbells thru my flesh, or wait a little bit...

whats the deal with these large piercings these days? I saw this kid I use to hang out with, he had large drupping earlobs. I couldn't imagine being old and having my ears shagging down three inches.

i have SLOWLY stretched my lobes form 12 ga to 4 ga...........went 12-10-8-6-4, about 3 months per stretch. luckily my best friend/broly/partner in higher acts of stupidity does tattooing/piercing for a living, got the jewelry at cost and no charge fort the piercing/stretching!!

stretching hurt as much/more than piercing!!

i am told that anythig bigger than 2 ga and the hole might not close up all the way if/when u take it out.

Yep.. I know that site..

My question was.. im at 16g (just peirced it tonight).. how would I go to 14g? just push them in? I wanna wear my 14g circular barbells

i would suggest waiting at least a month or 2 for it to heal up. then either get a tapered pin to stretch it out or use the new, larger jewelry and lube it up with neosporim and push it thru.

I am not sure on guages but sometimes you can just push them through... doesn't seem like you are going extreme. Kali gauged mine out over halloween because she gave me some "special" hoops for my ears. They went in with no problem but they don't really look any different. Nothing extreme and you couldn't even tell if you didn't know beforehand. I don't like plugs tho. I HATE that with a passion to be honest.
