Currently just sized up to a 1/2 inch and my right ear is doing fine, but my left ear has like a ring if swollen going around the back of it, trying to fix it by keeping it clean and keeping loose o rings on the taper

My biggest problem was sizing up from a 2g to 0g. I have watched videos of people doing it to see how they did it. There is a size between 2g and 0g that I bought and it seemed to help a little. But, I ended up using a spiral to stretch it up more gradually than with a taper.

I have had multiple blow outs. My sister around the age of one ripped on one of my tunnels I used to size, just hours after strechting. It was so bad I ended up going to urgent care. It was bleeding profusely. Since then my ear has never been the same. But, that hasnt stopped me from keeping up and stretching. I’m currently at 3/4ths!

The biggest issue I had when stretching my ears was that it got way more painful than normal after I got to size 2g. The skin of my ears was getting pretty thin by that point so it hurt a lot worse to stretch than it did in the beginning. I also had to be a lot more careful in the higher sizes to avoid stretching to fast and tearing my ears. I think I actually did tear my left ear once or twice…

I had a blowout sometime on my way to 00g. I tried stretching too fast.
