I have trouble stretching my left ear because I blew it out by being an impatient dingus in college.
Never use a paintbrush handle as a taper. Just saying.

Once I rushed stretching my ears, jumping from 2 to 00 with weighted guages and ripped my ear slightly. It bled but I was very lucky and didn’t get a blow out! Never skipped again.

I am currently having issues stretching from a 2g to a 0g. Going to be trying weights soon and hoping that helps! I want to get to a 00g and hope to make this goal by the end of the year!

stretching from 2g to 0g was painful. the difference in size was a bit much for one of my earlobes. didn’t know about weights at the time (several years ago).

I wanted to go up from a 0 to a 00. In my eagerness to gauge up, I worked too quickly and ended with a minor blow out. I’m now unable to gauge higher without a lot of patience, though I don’t plan on it with the scar tissue.
Take your time, and use plenty of oils or balms while stretching.
