When u stretch your ears it should NEVER cause pain. If it hurts to stretch ur gonna fuck em up.

Word. I used organic extra virgin olive oil, pretty much the same. But I think the jojoba oil apparently has some good healing qualities.

flathead make sure your using metal when you stretch them or else they will close up on your organic/plastic jewelery.

these are 00's...honestly you wont have a noticeable difference until 0's. good luck man glad to see you went through with it

haha i didnt go to 8. I just felt like seeing if that gauge elitist would flip.

Im still rocking the 12g. They havent even healed fully yet. Like my right ear looks clean but they way he did the left it was a bigger wound but theyre both closing up nice now. Another 2 weeks and im gonna stretch to 10. By april ill be at like 6 or so i estimate.

EDIT:lol@flathead
