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.

poor girl I hope it heals up really quickly for her, I agree things can go bad ways more or less over night.
hugs good luck with that.

as for the poeple saying to stretch with kaos.. its just such a bad idea. what happened to people just waiting til they see a good bit of slack and just slipping new jewelry in? oh yeh. thats right. impatience. i guess this is the price the unlucky ones have to pay.

Which is why people shouldn’t try to be hardxcore and stretch fast.

this reminds me of my idiot ex-friend who decided to stretch from 2 ga to 00 ga with kaos…. now both his lobes have a lump of scar tissue where there used to be holes… too bad (but he deserved it)

It looks like she may have been stretching with the silicone plugs. Which turn your pretty lobes to gangrene ridden, blown out buttholes in no time! Delicious!

That happened to me. Looked just like that too, unfortunately mine healed shut after that, and I had the huge balls of scar tissue punched out 6 months later.
It was the most difficult thing to go through for me, emotionally and physically.. i had lost a big part of my identity and it was hard to go on. I felt great shame. I feel her pain.

I’m pretty compulsive about picking at scabs from cuts and whatnot… but even I’d be afraid of touching that. Yikes.

I don’t think this is as bad as the ‘ear cheese’ photo posted a few months back, but it’s a close second.
Kids: Stay in school and wait a few months in between stretches.

I’m surprised she only lost 1/16″ in size…
but maybe the scabs make it look worse than it really is.
if that were my ear, I’d be having a FIELD DAY picking at it.
