I wish I had advice from others when I first started stretching my ears. Here is the chance for you to give others some advice.
If you were to give advice to someone just starting to stretch their ears, what would it be?

DON’T SKIP SIZES!! Trust me, so not worth it…
Slow and steady! Don’t skip sizes, make sure when you do stretch them you keep them clean (and still clean them all the time). But always remember, slow and steady wins the race!
Dont skip sizes, and dont rush. You need to heal in between each size or you will have a blow out. Everything needs to be clean and sanitary. If it hurts, STOP.
Take your time, do not skip sizes and always use good oil or vaseline. Use a taper and do one ear at a time, once the taper is in, let it sit for a few hours till the pain has faded, then switch out the taper for the jewelry. Either start the next ear or wait till the next day, do not rush. You do not want blow outs or infection, also do not use cheep jewerly.
My advice is to just take your time. Try not to skip sizes, and wait until your ears are healed to continue. I have ripped mine a few times due to my impatience. Also, many people I know who did this have some pretty strange-looking love scars now. Patience ❤
