Where to begin when stretching your ears..

So, you've decided you wanted to stretch your ears. Where do you begin? The initial beginning process is very simple, visit your local piercing shop, make sure it is one you trust, and that you know is clean, ensure that everything they use or are going to use is opened in front of you, clamps, needles, and make sure they wear gloves. This is all basic stuff, and just do your research.

So, you've got your nice new wonderful piercing, what to do next? Well, wait a bit, it takes up to 6 weeks for the initial piercing to heal, and I'd wait another 6 weeks before starting to stretch.

So, how do you do it? You can either do it yourself, or you can go to a local piercer who will do it for you. You need to use things called tapers, which are little cylindrical shaped items, kind of look like a toothpick, but they get slightly bigger at one end. Usually made from acrylic, PMA or surgical steel. The best way to start is usually in small increments, e.g: 1.6mm (the diameter of the ring) to 2mm, you use lubricant of some form, K.Y, emu oil, Jojoba, and others, and slide it through, you may feel a slight bit of resistance, but it shouldn't feel too tight, if it's too tight and you have to force it through, you're going too quick, and just go back to your original size.
