Does guageing your ears hurt?!


Question: Does guageing your ears hurt.?
Answers:
I guaged mine about 2 years ago, I stopped at 8mm (00G), turns out I really shouldn't have stretched them as they were gun pierced, but I digress and they worked out fine...

It doesn't hurt as such, it's a burning sensation, then your ear gets very hot, then endorphins kick in and after that it only hurts if it gets hit.
This burning is the tissue in your ear stretching, you should only stretch 1mm at a time (you can get reasonably cheap sets of tapers on ebay that have one of every guage from 2mm till about 8mm).

Lubricate your taper, (use PROPER taper, not makeshift home one),I used savlon to lubricate, becuase it was anti-septic, then clean it with a saline (salt water) solution everyday, but DO NOT TWIST THE TAPER WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK.
This loosens any discharge and can cause infection, really other than showering and giving it a quick clean with saline everyday you should leave it the hell alone.

You can keep working up in size till you get to where you want, as long as you let your ear heal inbetween. Stretching too much in one go can rip your earlobe open.

It took me about a year to get to 8mm, but thats because I had to make sure my mum wouldn't notice me doing it... really if I take out the time I spent deliberating, it took about 2-3 months. Health Question & Answer
