Ear Stretching 101 | UrbanBodyJewelry.com

I regret stretching too fast. I'm at a 3/4 now but I wish I could tell myself to wait instead of being impatient.

some of the coolest tattoo work I've ever seen. Would you be able to direct me to name of the style of work on your arms (more specific that black-work?) Looking absolutely rad my dude.

The stretching journey for me has been a true experience. I have loved my journey I'm at 5/8 of a inch/ 16mm, and I feel absolutely beautiful with my ears stretched.

I'm at 30mm or 1&1/8th" n its taken me 7yrs
Slow and steady wins the race 🙌

Thank you.
First I loved how you said it was in our DNA and something attracts us to them. I’ve totally felt a natural connection to them.
This was very informative. The thin skin info was total news to me. I honestly thought they all thin out like that. Much love. Thank you.

I’ve had my ears pierced since I was a month old. I was born at 7 months, stayed in the hospital for a month, and had them pierced right away (cultural reasons). Now, I am considering on stretching them (1. I would like to experiment. 2. My ancestors did it and current family members have them.). I would go to 8G or 6G. Right now I wouldn’t go to 4G or 2G because I’m not comfortable with it right now. Maybe in a few years I’ll go to a 4G. But as an 18 year old, I’ll play it safe.

I've had my ears gauged for over 10 years you get it man it's a connection to The Human Experience one family all across the world hopefully peace will reign one day soon happy holidays

Thank you so much for this! My friend who (I thought) was really knowledgeable about stretching told me the tiny tears that leaked the clear/yellowish liquid were normal so I only waited a month and a half between sizes, I'll definitely wait 2-3 months now

[isynan]

I started today with a 14g and ive been trying to find the right way to do it, as you say take it slowly and be patient about it, its not a race

Crazy I actually fought this guy in kickboxing match

[hrleyimsorrywhat]

My friend stretched to 10mm in a month and that really pissed me off😂 damn his perfect flexible ears

[althealovengrace]

first time I stretched I went to a 6 (if I'm right on size) from a regular earring 😳 killed my ass n my ears are totally closed up now

[tysonl]

so I just got to a gauge and the piercer put in a double flared acrylic tunnel. tomorrow I am aloud to change it to a black coated 10 gauge tunnel (same size) and was wondering how I should go about removing my plug? should I use the tunnel to push the plug out (like pushing a taper with a plug) or should I just take out the plug (if so how?) then insert the tunnel? (if so how do I insert the tunnel?)

[lesliehess]

I'm on a 10 g currently and I'm waiting a good while to go up to my 8g I wait like 2 to 3 months before even attempting to stretch my ears but I have a brother with stretched ears to give me advice

[spreadmypages]

I had a blow out about 3 years ago, and haven’t stretched my ears up a size since. I’m at a 0g. How do a prevent a blow out from happening again? I’m hoping to make the stretch to 00g in the next few weeks.

[tamyawhiterock]

So I went to tattoo shop and they gave me 10g the ladies said it should still work for my first time. I was also told to start off small like at a 14g, I a few other friends who said it's okay to start at 10g just do it slowly. I was able to get the tips through my normal pierced ear holes. But it started to hurt when I tried to go a little further so I stopped after that.

[jaydenclegg]

I think it's funny that I'm watching this when I'm already at 5/8 lol

[lesitebarnes]

What about when the taper go through but the tunnels won't and do you have swelling in your ears what do you do about that I'm a 8 I'm up to 8 gauge I'm trying to get to a six I got one are done but I don't have the other one. It's having a hard time what do I do about it always a lot of swollen so I put the 8 gauge back in the left ear

[christophermackenzie]

What if i have a small keloid from a small piercing could i still stretch my ears?

[asotosoto]

I have a small keloid in back of my ear am i able to stretch anyways ?
