I started stretching my ears at 18.. Started at a 16g. I’m now 28 and I was a 19mm. Till I suffered a blowout. I am probably now 14-16mm
Probably get slack for this but let me explain first!!
I can wear between 12-14mm in my first holes, my second and third are 2g, and I’m stopping those there.
I started stretching my ears in January of this year. I’ve been finished now for a few months. I know it is extremely fast, but I just went with what my ears were doing. It was so easy and my ears are so stretchy. I’ve had them pierced forever, 20+ years, and I am 41. I think both those factors greatly influenced how long it took. My skin is a lot stretchier then someone in their twenties, it’s just age. I didn’t even need tapers until I think 10g, 8 or 10 not sure, the next size just went right in.
I’ve never had a blow out or any problems, and I for sure don’t have cat butt holes!!
Listen to the recommendations, yes of course, but also go with your body, that could mean less time, or MORE!! It’s a general guideline, it’s not gonna be the same thing for everyone. My daughter, who’s only 20, took much longer then mine. Her skin, being younger, is a lot tighter then mine! I’m not saying my skin is sagging or anything, I’m not that old, haha, it just has more stretch in it then hers.
Mine are currently at one inch. I have been stretching them for about 10 years
I’m at 0g, my goal size. I started stretching from 22g in January 2017. I stayed at 4g for 1 1/2 years because I liked the jewelry.
I am at an inch right now it took me a little over a year to get here
