Tell Me About Ear Gauging.

[Courtney Mae]

Yeah, I just have standard ear piercings, pretty small. I'd like to go to a 14 gauge. How would I go about that? [Please be pretty specific, I'm new to this.] Thanks.

[Courtney Mae]

anyone?

[Amidreaming?]

i did this to my lap and i'd buy a 16 gauge keep that in for two weeks or so and then just put in a 14 gauge right when you change it you might feel some discomfort but it won't hurt or anything

[Courtney Mae]

Okay. But I'm at a 20 or so right now. So just go up to 18, then 16, then 14? Sounds easy enough. Would I use a gauger?

[Burns]

ugh, please don't do that crap to your ears, Courtney! I'm begging you...

[Artelis]

Do it.

[Neruo]

No?

[Courtney Mae]

No worries Look how small a 14 or 16 is. I'm still not sure if I'll do it though. That's part of the reason why I was asking; If its pretty easy, then I might. But if its complicated and requires alot of time, then definately no.

[pyroguy305]

if its that small then whats the point in even doing it? just wondering..

[MSG]

Just seems like a fad, and that you're stretching your ears out for nothing When you're old and you have these saggy earlobes that's not gonna be too nice

[NeAvO]

Yup big mistake, you can make the holes bigger but you can't make them smaller. If you regret it you can't undo the mistake.

[ShYne123]

yeah, just go larger every few weeks. I wanted to get a 2-4 gage, but it would be innapropriate for my job, and you cant take them out 8 hours at a time or they close up :-O goodluck, they are awsome if they arnt taken to a extreme. I know a girl with a 7/16 gage and she is beautifull.

PM Gwendolyn. She will give you good advice.

[Gwendolyn]

PM Gwendolyn. She will give you good advice.[/b] I've never gauged anything! I coulnd't give good advice, seriously.

[Courtney Mae]

Yup big mistake, you can make the holes bigger but you can't make them smaller. If you regret it you can't undo the mistake.[/b] Actually, they do, very fast.

[Gwendolyn]

Actually, they do, very fast.[/b] Yeah, piercings can close. Plus, 14 gague isn't really that big, so I don't think it would be a problem....If you were gaguing to like a 0, I might be concerned.

[TripleX223]

my friends brother has gotten gauges, he can fit almost 2 cigs, in each ear, they drupe down a couple inches. his friend puts double a batteries in his ears

[Gwendolyn]

Sorry about that. My ignorance! I just thought it was slang for piercings. [/b] Oh! Lol. It's Ok, Howie. I just thought you were picking on me. :yumdumdoodledum:

[Courtney Mae]

[Gwendolyn]

Yeah, I personally think really large gague is very gross. But yours is pretty small.

[BiVixen]

I went from a standard right to a 16. Hah, but that was painful so you should ease into it. Plus I did it shortly after the piercing, just bought some 16s and slowly forced them in. But even that didn't sting too bad.

[CoLd BlooDed]

I'm at a 14, didn't have to up it or anything at all. It's still small, the only thing I had to go through was having my ears feel heavier for a couple days, but then that goes away. Even if you got 6's, stretched them, then took them out the holes would go back to normal.
