Went from 14G to 8G within 6 hours.

shippinglarryandziam:

5 days later, (now) I want to stretch to 6G. but i need tapers. fuck.

I feel very, very sorry for your ears right now. Very.

What’s awful: Jumping 3 sizes in one go, and planning on stretching to another. Ear damage, blowouts and scar tissue ahoy!

How to fix it: Take your plugs out and leave them out. In three months, go to 14g. A month after that, 12g, a month after that, 10g, a month after that, 8g, a month after that, 6g. And so on and so forth (however 0g+ should wait 2-3 months). Tapers are NOT jewellery. You don’t drill a hole for a screw, and leave the drill bit in because ‘it’ll do’. No, it won’t. The same goes for tapers. Save your ears, you’ve only got two of them!

and 0g is my stopping point (:

I hate getting so ragey so early in the morning but.

So much taper fail.

I can;t stress this enough guys, if you’re worried about money, time and funds, then stretching isn’t for you. It’s a very expensive time consuming process to do correctly, and is classed as a ‘serious modification’. It needs to be done correctly, or not done at all.
