I went up to a ten on one ear but I took it out. My friend just got a double zero for her right ear, it looks so awesome. She hasn't put it in yet ... it's HUGE!

Wow. I think I would be disowned if I did that. I did decide to go for the cartlidge piercing though. My new friend is dragging me. :lol:

My friend has an earring obcession though. She's got about 18 of them, all in her ears. It looks pretty cool, though.

im trying to do it, but i'm a cheap ass, and dont want to pay to go in and have them done every time i go up a size. so basically i've taken to putting different sizes of wire in my ears :freak: WHY my ears havent gotten infected yet is beyond me...

I met this guy the other day who took out his gauges and it looked just gross.

i've seen people gauge that flat part in your ear on the top, i dont know the name for it. but yeah, they're dumb, it doesn't close up when you grow out of that phase.

Heh, no one actually stretched my ears for me, I stretched my own to 10's just through patience. I was wearing those normal little hoops that are thin anyway but have that even thinner part that's supposed to go through your ear, and i just pushed those around until i was wearing them upside down with the thicker bit through my ear. Then I bought 12's and pushed those through without much problem... waited a couple months and bought 10's and pushed those through with a bit MORE problem and moved the 12's to my upper holes, and I decided that was good enough. lol. i never actually did any research as to how people actually get their ears done :P

I'm putting plugs in though and stretching is a gradual process so I want to make sure it's done properly .. which is where the taper comes in .. there can be a lot of complications with stretching .. I have no patience to do it slowly on my own .. one shove and it's at the gauge I want it to be lol

You sound like me, Joey. When I got my tens, I put them in right away. I went from the eighteen I got peirced with to a ten in a matter of 20 minutes.
