Papa Manual Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 A month for every two mm you stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Some piercing shops do instant tunnels, the one i went to does up to 5 but i went straight to 4. So if you dont want to wait have a look for any that do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 It can vary from person to person, I hear stories from people all the time of "I went up 5mm in one day!".Personal opinion is 1-2mm a month, that's if you want a good chance of the hole to back to a normalish size.It also shouldn't hurt stretching, and you should never force a taper into you ear. All you need to do is gently push it in until it can go no further. DO NOT apply pressure on pushing it in.The main reason why I recommend a mm a month is that each stretch physically tears/cuts your ear, best way to think of this is that after stretching it needs to heal, therefore scab over and the month gives it time to heal naturally. If you stretch when it should be healing, your pretty much picking a scab, which of course will make scar tissue, which is not good if you want to go up in size, or back down.Following that advice you should get some nice stretches, I'm on 18mm both ears. And as said, its better in the piercing thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Get it scalped.I had mine scalped to 10mm, previously had never had them peirced.Some people say you cant go further if you do, or they dont last.Had mine for 4 years and have streched them to 20mm.

Pashley26 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Meh', I had 26mm tunnel and went up form a standard piercing. Had no problems leaving it 2/3 weeks between stretches, and took it out about a year ago and it's back down to nothing now; you'd never know I'd done it.I guess it varies from person to person though.*haha, just seen what "Captain Scarlet" says. Thats bollocks, when I did mine i used to do 3/4 mm a go and what we used to do was put two books on a desk at school then hammer them through with the spine of another book using the other two books to keep my ear in one place Genuine advice here - have a HOT bath first.Edited to add a photo of me on the way up, at 20mm in the photo - Edited August 20, 2009 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Why do people think this looks good? I can't see the attraction.It doesn't look good anymore, back when I did it less people had done it and it was something only for the hardcore/more unusual person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_soon_to_be Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 if you do it make sure you really want it, i stretched mine.. decided i wanted to join the army, it wouldnt close up so had to go through bupa to have the scar tissue cut out and sown up, not only was it very costly and painful, i now have a scar on my lobe, think it through first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Genuine advice here - have a HOT bath first.Very good advice! I did mine in the bath, with knitting needles, 4mm at a time, and it did take alot of force to start with! Then when I ran out of knitting needles big enough I used a fat pen, then my finger. Just went up as soon as it stopped being crusty and bloody and I could handle the pain again!I'm now upto 16mm which is as big as I'm going (though I did say that at 8, 10, 12 & 14...). I had a 2nd 8mm next to the 16 in my left ear for about a year before I decided I didn't like it anymore last week, and just put a normal 1.6 ring in it, and already you'd never know it was stretched at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 That's hardly big, a few guys who aren't as active on here any more who have 26mm and 28mm ears respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciguena_dreamer Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) I was at 12mm then took it out and let it heal back for a few months thenI decided to do it agian and went back to 16mm. Took it out ages ago after I lost it and couldn't be bothered to buy another and it's now back to about 4-3mm and it looks normal. I really damaged my ear when I did mine because I jsut wanted to go up really quickly :LEdit: Best way I found of strecting is when you get to about 8mm use the rubber tunnels, buy like 4-mm bigger and fold it up, but it in your ear and let it go slowly. It doesn't really hurt but you can fell it for a day or so. Edited August 22, 2009 by Ciguena_dreamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Harding Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Mine are currently 30mm and dan clark(who isnt on here much anymore) his are 30mm aswell. I have to take mine out for work everyday, and they seem to shrink loads. If i take them out after a few hours they look like about 10mm, but my 30mm slip right back in with no hassle. I dont stretch them anymore but when i did, i did it when i had holiday etc, so that they had healed abit before i had to take them out. Touch wood ive never had any problems, never blown out, never really hurt but i guess when you do it bit at a time its cool. I currently wear silicone ones and they are so compfortable and light. Sod wearing 30mm metal ones, i had some but they were a pain. I find screw in metal ones always pinch my skin and it f**king hurts. On another note the inside of my holes have started to grow hair NICE!!Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
