I have had my ears pierced for 11 years and I'd like to stretch one of them, how do i go about this?

Answer 1

if you are starting at a regular sized earing (a 20 guage) go out and buy 18 guage hoops. after a week or so when they don't feel sore go to a 16 then 14,12,10, and so on till you get to the size you want. A way to do this a bit faster is to hang weights from the rings. like little diary locks or something. That is how I did mine.

Edit:

OMG!!! Do not go to some piercing shop or Hot Topic... you can do it yourself. once you get up to a 12 or 10 you can also buy clay or playdo and make stretchers by molding a small ended ring and fattening it out towards the end and heating them in the oven or leaving em out to dry

Answer 2

It sounds like your talking about tribal piercings and those u might b able to find at a tattoo parlour.It is done for certain cultures to n if u know which culture then look in the phone book in your area and find out what area the people that do it live cuz they usually live in a certain area just like here in Toronto how they have China town n European they reside in certain areas well as well as everywhere else but it's like that here to but try the tattoo place and if they don't they might b able to tell u who does.I seen it done on TV n I seen the neck thing done to where they stretch the neck to b a foot long or a whole right under there lip or a whole in there ear that can fit ahairbrush through it looks so barbaric but to them its ok.Have a great wkend n hope u find what your looking for.Ciao 4 now

Answer 3

Do it gently with a thing called a taper that is small on one end and gradually gets bigger. You can find them at your tattoo/piercing shop, or wherever you get body jewelry like Hot Topic or Spencer's Gifts.

Another thing you could do is buy ear rings that are one size bigger and put them in, let them heal, then buy a second pair of ear rings that are one size bigger and put them in, let them heal, and keep on doing that. It's more expensive that way, but you don't have to walk around wearing a stupid taper dealie.

Answer 4

You have to get wider earings, specialist piercing shops do them, each time you buy them you get the next size up.
