Goal is an inch but she’s looking a bit thin… I’m happy with this size honestly, but I’ve been doing this for 4+ years on and off and just wanna be able to say that I got them there.

0g Septum
2" Lobes
5/8" Labret

Recently upped to an 18mm (11/16). Should I go bigger? This size doesn't feel as substantial as I originally thought it would. Maybe 20?

My ears are super small and I think a super large size would completely overwhelm them.

I just recently started my stretching journey. I started at a 16g and my plugs went in smoothly, i did feel a slight pinch, but no pain when touched. Is that okay? Also, when is an appropriate amount of time to wait before sizing up? I’ve heard anywhere between 3-6 months but I’m unsure. One more thing.. is my stack lobe gonna be an issue? I’m planning on stretching to at least a 6g and I feel like my stacked lobe will get eaten by it. Any tips will be appreciated!!

Good evening everybody, I have a 4G Septum currently and have had it at that size for about a year now and I have recently purchased a glass pincher at 2g, I attempted stretching at 2g a while back but I went back to 4G as it was wildly annoying with the feeling of how painful it was against my cartilage..

My question is, am I doomed to be at 4 gauge permanently? Will the pain go away EVER? 2G has always been my finished goal so I would really like to hear feedback on what you did to combat septum denting. I went with a notched piece so I hope that will help.

Posted a few months back immediately post op, here is the update! First two pics were my before. I stretched to 5/8” about 10 years ago, and that’s what I was left with. Second two pics were a few days ago, fully healed up. Last picture is from right now, after just getting re pierced.

I'm at 9mm top and 14mm bottom. I've been here for 3 full months. Do they look healed?

I am at a 0g septum! I am considering stretching to a 00g or even a 12mm how much more it would effect the outside of my nose?

Like say you have an 8g trying to get to a 6g but putting in an 8g + a 14g is too big so you use a 10g + a 12g or 10g?

I had a tongue piercing for several years, and about a year ago, I stretched it to 4mm for the last time.

I have some mental health issues—I’m quite paranoid, anxious, and so on. Yesterday, I learned that a family member is going to have their leg amputated. My mind—already fixated on the fact that my tongue has become swollen from excessive and overly vigorous cleaning (partly due to delusions)—convinced me that my tongue has turned blue and will need to be amputated too. How quickly does a tongue heal? I’ve already taken out my piercing; does my tongue look okay?

I am learning English, so please excuse any mistakes.

So I got my ears pierced at 8g about a month ago, I know I cant change my jewlery for a few more months but I want to have a couple options ready when I do. I attached a picture but the glasses are an off silver color its hard to describe like a mix between silver and maybe brass. I also wouldn't mind paying for a custom job or something along those lines but I just dont know where to look. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Mine are attached, and it's not looking the way I want :') From the front, it looks like I have no lobe; from the side, it looks awkward... then from behind/side profile, it looks thick. Smh. Rant over.

I finally made it to 40mm after 20 years of stretching! LOOK HOW PRETTY THESE ARE!

i'm new to stretching, went from 6g to 4g way too fast, two days after stretching i took out the jewelry to see that my entire lobe was bleeding and super swollen. i soaked in a saline solution and also treated it with antiseptic wound wash and it's not actively bleeding anymore. what's the best way to help it heal?? also, will it shrink a lot after healing? 😰 after it shrinks how long does it take to stretch back to its original size? sorry that's a lot of questions LOL but i'm pretty worried about having to start over...

I work outside and as it starts to get colder out my nose suffers. I’ve had this issue for a couple years now and haven’t found any solid solutions. I’ve tried wearing a face mask, scarf for my face and carrying around a warm beverage under my nose. The issue I’m running into is it’s hard to maintain those options when I’m working with a bunch of dogs. I’m debating getting one that is a different material (currently stainless steel, 12mm) but I’m open to any suggestions, thanks!

hi, its been about a month and a half since i blew out my septum. its currently 10g. a month and a half is usually when i stretch again (thought i waited 6 months to stretch to 10g..) i was wondering if i have to wait extra time because of the healing from the blowout, or if its fine to stretch more? apologies if this is a dumb question, im not very educated on stretching.

I’ve been at 14g for like a year, my other ear is at 12g but this one won’t stretch, and I haven’t done anything but leave it and suddenly it’s all hot and looks like this. Am I doing something wrong? I use jojoba oil (admittedly not as often as I should) and glass dead stretching plugs.

Recently developed a nickel allergy, but with minimal reaction to it. My ears started with itching for the first few days then began to turn slightly red with a slight swell. I wasn’t able to get any titanium or glass plugs before 2 weeks had passed and by then my ears were very irritated (but still could’ve been worse) do you think it’d be safe to wear a surgical steel 6g septum for say a day or two? Or would that still put on a reaction that would last a while and possibly give long term damage? Because even after switching to allergy friendly plugs my ears took a week to heal from the reaction.

I got my ears pierced as a baby, so as I grew bigger, they became uncentered. I would really like to start stretching my lobes, but I’m worried that they would affect me because of how uncentered they are.
What I would really like to know is: would I be [negatively] affected if I stretched my current piercings without re-piercing them? I can’t be bothered to get them re-pierced, and I’m also worried that I don’t have enough lobe space. I also wouldn’t want to pierce a bigger gauge to get a head-start as I would like to start from the beginning.
I’m planning on not stretching them out that big, maybe 6-8mm. Would my uncentered lobes affect me at that size?

Drastic increase in camera quality as well

hi :). i had to restart stretching my ears (i only ever made it to 12g) but im tying to get past 12g now and it isn’t working. i’ve had the jewelry in for about 3 months now and i’ve been taking care of my lobes so im not really sure what the issue is :(. if anyone could help, that would be amazing!

i’ve been wanting to stretch since i got my septum piercing and today my jewelry finally came in!!
it’s a titanium horseshoe 14g. 16g->14g
ignore the black specs and grey around my mouth lmaoo i’m a black lipstick warrior
