As Morgan discovered, you can’t force your ears to stretch! That said, figuring out where your body’s limits are is part of the learning process if DIY is your thing. Still, there’s something to be said for taking it really slow — either way, her ear is just fine now, although she lost about a 1/16″ in size from this.

Yeah, I’ve never experienced an infection that bad, but I do recall when, after stretching from 2ga to 0 ga (now at 1/2″, after being MUCH more patient with myself), my ears decided to grow their own bacterial colony. Which was more like a major metropolitain city. And I had giant balls of bloody puss, much like those displayed here 😛 Gehh-rrrooooosssee XD

Whenever I see pictures like this, I can’t help wondering why they didn’t notice something was wrong earlier… Surely her ear didn’t get like this overnight?!

that’s actually pretty fascinating.
How does one actually achieve something like that…seems like it’s pretty difficult not to notice the shredding and infecting of your ear…
“gee. what’s that sound?…*shrug* oh well”
Like, really!
*hangs head in shame for Morgan*

I’m actually thinking this just looks a whole lot worse than it is. It just looks like it’s bled and the blood has solidified with a bit of lymph.

i feel bad for her.
#29, i never understood why the jump from 2g to 0g is 2mm when all the smaller sizes are 1mm or less apart. even my tattoo artist said that guage hurts like a bitch. 00g is 2mm up too.

OUCH! I can’t believe she let them get that bad? But as a scab picker…i’m tempted to pick it!

For those saying that this should have been addressed sooner:
I had this kind of reaction to Kaos once, too. It happens almost overnight. In my case, it took three days. The first two were mild discomfort, then the third was full blown.
Assuming this person stretched a hole bunch at once, it could have happened even faster.

How could you not notice that tickling itchy feel in your ears telling you that you need to downsize or get onto some safe jewelry immediately? This isn’t a specific materials issue so much as a listening to your body issue. If your lobe is complaining and won’t shut up, get onto some glass or something so you don’t have a nasty scab blossom in your ear like this one.

fucking disgusting.
i’m sure it’s a nice experiment to see how infected you can become over time, but good hygiene is SO important in healing piercings.
