First of all, to gauge something is to measure it. You are STRETCHING your ears, not GAUGING them. The next size is 1 9/16", then 1 5/8", then 1 3/4"
yes it is it could be your ears are sensitive or their just starting to get bad ear infections either way go get them checked out.
blowouts ripping infection necrosis
i wouldn't. i would start by gauging up with a 16 or 14, let them heal then slowly go up. you could risk the chance of blowing out your ear.
Hot Topic has a huge amount. Remember that is you're just starting out, start with a size 14 and move on to a twelve after about 6 weeks. And remember to clean it twice a day! My friends got infected and she said that it hurt like a b****, stank, and bled all the time. A single mom I met at Starbucks (I make friends with random people) was to a size 2 gauge and said that she did it over the process of 3 years.
The tightly stretched ear skin is commonly referred to as "tunnel" or "gauge." It is created through the process of ear stretching, also known as ear gauging or ear stretching.
its nothing big its just extra skin hanging out of the back of your ear where ur gauge is or it could be pain full and your ear is cut up and you need to go get it sowed up both are very pain ful you can still gauge your ear even if you have a blow out and its not called gaugeing...gauging is cutting the extra skin around your ear using plugs tapers...etc its streching
NO. I am sure that letting it heal for the recommended 6 weeks before gauging the hole is safer as it reduces the risk of infection or damage to the ear lobe.
Most people do it the normal way of gauging it at first you should use tapers to stretch it and of course it will hurt but you leave them until they heal then you should put plugs or tunnels in your ear if you wish too.
Children have such different sized ear canals that its a good idea to start with wax plugs. This way the ear plugs can be molded to the exact size and shape of your child's ear.
Stretching should be one gauge size once every 30 days any faster will result in tearing and bleeding which will wind up forming scar tissue and permanent lobe damage.
Yes. You get it pierced with a 14g needle instead of an 18g
