Question

any suggesstions?

Answer 1

i have looked into it myslef. i will tell you fromw aht ive learned and give you some sites you can look at to help you. you soudl buy a set of tapers online at www.steelnavel.com. and buy the appropriate sized jewelry. when you use the tapers. and insert the jewelry you soudl wait a month till it is healed. stretcing your ears causes small tears. so yes there is some pain to it. i put in a 16g jewlery from an 18 and yes they were sore for a few days. but thats as far as i went so far though lol.... it will be expensive. and sometimes your ears wil not go back to their normal size. so this can be a somewhat permanent thing, thats why im still thinking about it. there are risk. called a blow out. and causing trama to your ear. weights are NOT reccomended. here is a useful site to help you. it helped me!

besides doing it yourself. for quicker results you can always go to the professionals where you can go up two sizes in one visit rather than going up one size then waiting a month for it to heal then going up another size and waiting another month. you will need to keep it clean to! its sorta liek a new piercing!

what size are you planning on going up to?? im thinking about a 12 or a 10


www.steelnavel has many plugs for the smaller of the stretched ears =) and bodyartforms.com too!

good luck.

but you will need to buy a set of tapers from www.steelnavel.com or any other website. they cost around thirty dollars make sure you buy jewelry while your at it too! that is the appropriate gauge!

Answer 2

I'm actually going to give you advice other than "not starting"! I would recommend getting in contact with your local Tattoo/Piercing business. They'll be able to give you the correct and SAFE way of beginning this long process. Another thing is to go to any store like Spencers or Hot Topic, and they have small guages in cases with the rest of their Body Accessories. I'm assuming you may already have piercings??.... well if not, this is one piece of advice. When dealing with piercings, the bigger the number of a guage the smaller they are. The smaller the number, which I think Double Zero is the smallest, the bigger they will be. I can put a guage of 20 or 18 in a standard pierced earring hole. Do your research before jumping into this though! Hope this helpful... :)

Answer 3

start small! don't try to go too big at first. go to hot topic, and by something that is about a 12-10 gauge. keep that in for about a month or so, and then move up one size at a time, until you get your desired gauge size. just make sure that in the beginning, you're cleaning your ears out as if you just got them pierced because they can get infected...trust me, i know from experience!

Answer 4

Good Lord why would you do that? It looks awful, and unless your moving in with a Pygmy family I think you should consider something less dramatic. Get something pierced or tattooed like everybody else.

Answer 5

"Start" by "not starting". But it does look like it would come in handy at a race or football game. Carry a couple of "roadies" wit cha.
