gauged ear people

its different with all people like for me i think if i took mine out now they would shrink down to like 4-8. i would say if you did 10 there they will most likely shrink to a 16-18 if you took them out.

alright, cool. Thanks man.

I just need a job when i'm out of college. lol.

wow. everybody has different skin but in most case to point of no return is 0 gauge. if you stretch your ear lobe past this point 9-10 times it will only shrink back up to about a 6-8 gauge. pundakid you are ripping your ear everytime you stretch if you just buy a taper ram it in there. you need to sea salt soak a stretch lobe when it is a fresh wound.

hatchet warrior yours might close back up but i really doubt it will get any smaller than a 8.

if your ear was bleeding. there is going to be scar tissue. and 0 to 00 is a big jump. its next in line but still, compare jewelery. im going off experience here, so believe what you will. but the best way to tell is take out your jewelery and if the hole is round still you are o.k. but if your piercing looks like a cats ***, kind of egg shaped and little jagged you are gonna have to have surgery to fix it.

i always stretched my ears with vasoline in the shower. or just in the shower. some sort of lube should be used to when stretching with taper.

oh ok i may go back down to 0ga and let this ear heal then re gauge it out.

both ears or only one? did it bleed when the taper went through? or just after you had jewelery in?

only one is bleeding. and it didnt bleed when i put it cause is just a silicone circle that i folded and stuck through my ear and let it pop back to it shape.
