dont mess with your ears kids

Woah woah woah. Let’s slow down here! Firstly. Take whatever you have in your lobe OUT. NOW. It will not want jewellery in it for a helluva long time, especially given that you caused your lobe to bleed! 

Leave your ear alone. Well alone. For a month. Then, slowly massage your lobe with oil (ie, jojoba, emu, bio oil, vitamin e etc) for three months. Then, safely insert safe jewellery. You might well have shrunk to 6 or 8mm by then.

Stretch slowly, stretch safely. A bleeding lobe is NOT a happy lobe.

emilyarmstrong: If your ears look like this, then you are fucked. This is the result of skipping sizes (going in more than 1mm increments at a time), wearing inappropriate jewellery, such as a acrylic for long periods of time, and not cleaning your ears. This results in infection, blow outs, and ulcers, as shown here. Stretch properly kids!  Sorry guys, had to bring this back!
