| Re: Stretching FAQ
I stared off with average pierced lobes.Was started off stretching at 2mm this was at tribe in cockburn street.I was given wee clear plastic tubes to keep the holes open.I lost one in the shower a couple weeks later,so because it was a bank holiday Monday all i could find open was tribal in the cowgate.
I went up to 4mm there and had proper wee metal plugs put in.Much prefer these to the tube things,means i dont have to worry about them falling out although i was at the point after having the 4mm that i could pull them right the way through my ears and sometimes i would wake up with them stuck inside my ears.
Yesterday i went up to 6mm.Was a whole lot more painful than i thought it would be,Was told that both ears had a tear in them.Bled for ages(in topshop..nice) but ive been cleaning them with salt water and they are fine and dandy.Im pretty much leaving them to their own devices.
I was gonna just leave it at 6mm but im now fancying the 8mm in a while...
but the piercer woman told me that 6 is about a big as il get due to my first ear piercing(when i was 8)being done very close to the bottom of the ears.
Bit disappointed but might try the hole above it.
has anybody got any experience of this? |
