I've had my ears pierced since I was a baby but most recently (I'm 23) ,
I've wanted to started gaging.
I got tapers and did my research and now I'm at a 12G: but I'm having a couple concerns or rather I just wanted to ask some questions and get advice from experienced people .
That being said, please only answer this question if you are either a professional or someone with personal experience. Thank you!
I already have small ears and small ear lobes to begin with, but someone said it may be a good idea to take these out, let them close up, and get my ear pierced higher to avoid ripping. I only want to go up to a 2G, but honestly, I'm wondering what the best thing to do is.
If your lobes are too small yes, the bottom (thinnest) part of your ear lobe could rip if you go too big. No matter your lobe size actually, you HAVE to once in a while take them out, let the skin breathe, and even sleep over night once in a while without them in so that circulation in that area can keep your lobe together and intact.
then you can put them back in, in the morning and wear them for a few days before you have to do it again. Sorry but the smaller your ear lobes are and the further you try to stretch this comes with the territory. [ missundersmock's advice column | Ask missundersmock A Question ]
