true, and thanx for the advice. I'm still on the fence so to speak. Probably do it the old fashioned way. The long slow stretch.

My last piece of advice, use curved tapers to stretch, not the straight ones because the straight ones add pressure to your nostrils resulting in a lot more trauma, which = more pain and = longer heal time.

I had 00ga (10mm) flesh tunnels in each ear up until recently but I took them out for a change. I kinda miss em' and now I'm left with little 2mm holes in each lobe. I might eventually put them back in and stretch up again?? I also have my right tragus peirced which I'm not taking out... that's my favorite. It also hurt like a mother to get done!!

I'm at a half inch now, and I'm still on the fence whether I'll stretch again. I have spent SO much money on body jewelry, way too much. Everytime I stretch I end up getting like 6 or 7 new sets of plugs. So.. maybe I'll stop here. lol.

I just stretched up to 3/4",my original size that I had back in 2000. I plan to go to 1" and stop there.

Well, I'm just at 10g and was apprehensive about getting pierced at all, but since doing so, I've gotten some great comments and I've grown to love it... would like to stretch up some but don't know about 1/2" or 3/4" or even up to 0g - that just seems so huge to me.  Although I guess cam_dvs32 was at 00 and his shrunk back to 12g so who knows maybe I'll start some stretching just to see how I like it?

Scott, rest assured. If you do stretch up, anything under 00g will shrink back up to normal size holes. Anything bigger and you will be like Cam and I and have floppy gummy  bear lobes when the jewellry isnt in. haha

So true! I hate the way my ears look without jewelry in them. I have some plugs that are flesh colored that I wear to work. They blend with my skin almost perfect, so that's pretty cool.

This is a problem in my job. Young guys coming in my office with gauged ear lobes. I have had to have 2 kids already get the plastic surgery to close the holes so they could enlist. It is about $250 per ear around here. The one guy had 1" plugs and didnt wear them for a year. I could still stick a pencil though the hole. It was done closing. I turn alot of otherwise qualified guys away beacuse of this

JDog, thanks for your PM advice on stretching.  Stretched up to 8g earlier this week - I didn't notice much of a difference, but I can definitely tell how addictive it can be.  I must say I'm encouraged that cam_dvs32 was at a 0g and then took 'em out and his holes shrank back to 12g... don't really know how big I might try for but I know eventually I'd have to let 'em shrink back up some.

Scott be careful mate. I had only planned on stretching my lobes to 00g and went to 3/4"!!Like you say, It is very addictive.

Congrats on the stretch bro,If 8g went in that easily, I'd try for 6 in 4 weeks or so.

Funny how kids influence our decisions.  My children ask about my tattoos a lot.
