It all started one day after a cross country meet,when I was in the locker room, and I had gotten a new earring from a friend and I had nothing to do with the peircing stud that I had origannaly had in my first hole. I didn't want to lose it,so I asked my other friend to peirce my lobe a second time right above the fist hole, witch was at eighteen guage with the peircing stud, that I had gotten when I got my first hole peirced at the peircing pagoda in the mall over the summer, witch I had to beg my parents to let me get in the first place. When I came home from school they freaked out about the second peircing but I got to keep it with luckily no hassle from them! The healing for this streching went through with no problems at all.

I waited about four or five more weeks for the new peircing to heel as I was streching my first hole in addition to my second peircing. I took the sixteen guage Captive Bead Ring with a glow-in the dark bead, that I had gotten from Hot Topic in the mall for about tewelve bucks. And I put it through my second hole. I felt pretty much no pain with that stretch. There were no complications or anything with this stretch at all!

Then after about four or five more weeks after the previous stretch I took the fourteen guage Captive Bead Ring with a black dice in stead of the bead, that I also got at Hot Topic in the mall for about fourteen bucks. And put that in my second hole and their was a slight pain, but nothing that I couldn't handle at all. This stretch went through just perfectly also! =:)

Then about four or five more weeks after the previous stretch I took the ten guage Captive Bead Ring with a coil in stead of the bead, which I got at a store called The Harvest for an amazing ten bucks. Again skipping a guage (tweleve) I put that in my second hole with minor pain for only about two days. The healing for this stretch went quite well!

Then about four or five more weeks after the strech with the ten guage I took an eight guage, sergical steel flesh tunnel, which my friend got for me in a store in the mall called The Iceing. And I put that through my second hole. This sucker was a pain in the ass though, becuase the flare kept on sliding through the hole and the o-ring was also a bitch to put back on it! There was no problems this time exceot for the tunnel sliding through my ear.

Then about four or five more weeks later, after the strech with the eight guage, I got a six guage, blue, lucite plug, from the Harvest again. Although this time it wasn't such a deal at twenty dollars or so.And I inserted that. Now this was the most pain I felt yet during my stretching experiences, but it also healed with no problem.

And for the final strech so far, after the six guage stretch. I waited a long time to do this. Becuase every time I tried to put the four guage, red lucite plug, which I also got from The Harvest for twenty bucks. My lobe started to bleed so I got nervous and took it out. But finally after about 2 months of having the six guage plug in I took the four guage plug and just said fuck it and I shoved it through my second hole! There was a large amount of pain this time. It lasted for about a week with this stretch. But I'm glad that I went through with the stretch to a four guage, becuase now there is absolutly no pain! (it's been healed for about a month now!) I still have the four guage plug in my second lobe peircing and I am considering, going to a two guage plug, but I am undecided about whether or not I am going to stretch it any larger at this point, becuase I'm not sure if my employer will except the large guaged plug or not! =:( But for an upside to all this my friends think it's pretty cool! =:) And They also want me to sretch it to a larger guage, wich I think I'm going to do wether or not my boss will like it!

Oh and by the way I still have the ten guage Captive Coil Ring in my first peircing.I plan to strech the first peircing one last time to an eight guage Sergical Steel Captive Bead Ring,which I plan to get at Hot Topic in the mall, when I get the money.
