| Re: Stretching FAQ I've stretched up and down between 2mm an 16mm a few times.. guess i just heal well, cos when i take it out it shrinks back.
Been ripped out a few times an always goes back to normal(ish) too.
.. so yea, I guess it does depend on the body.
I stretched up with a paint brush tho, maybe it has somethin to do with that. |

| Re: Stretching FAQ Prob depends on your actual skin and whether the scar tissue is thick where you have stretched it. I had a 6mm in my second hole and i took it out after a panic and it has shrunk down.
I also put a 10mm in my right lobe then panicked, decided to take it out, bled all over my bathroom, cos it had split, and then put a 6mm back in, whichseems to be staying in okay.
It really depends on your own body.
I seem to panic quite a lot lately.  |

| Re: Stretching FAQ I'm at 2ga right now, and I plan on stretching to 0ga soon, I also have a 10 in my septum. I've always gone to the shop to get stretched, and the times that I haven't I've found that my jewlery weighed enough that it stretched naturally

| Re: Stretching FAQ On the FAQ it says you should stretch every other month but the girl in Nirvana said I can do it every month - who should I listen to?
I'm only going up to 4mm if that makes a difference. |
