Ok, well it all started when I was about oh I would say 12 or so. I went to the mall with my grandmother and mom and they let me get one of my ears pierced because my sister was getting hers done at the same time. So I did. I know mall piercings not a smart idea but I was uneducated in the world of modifications at the time so I got it done. Everything healed fine and I liked my first ear piercing. It was just a simple gold stud but I thought it was cool.
At A Glance Author hxc chris When A year ago Now im about 15. I started to realize there was much more out there than standard ear piercings. This is the time I really started getting into the body modification stuff. I had seen people locally in my area at the mall and other random places with bigger holes in their ears. I was astonished and thought to myself "That looks really awesome." But I knew that I would never be allowed to do that because of strict rules at my household. But I did not care. I knew what I wanted.
So, now im about 16 years old. I decided out of boredom and all to go ahead and get my other ear pierced. Nonetheless I did this piercing myself. Again not the smartest move but rest assured it all did heal nice and I now had both my lobes pierced. After this I did a few more random piercings on my ears, none of which remain today. But I finally decided I did not care about the rules of my household, so I went down to Walmart and picked up a pair of 16 G circular barbells. They went in nicely and I kept them for a while, But I knew I wanted to go bigger. Now heres a stupid thing I did next. I did not have a job at the time so I was pretty much broke, but I wanted to continue the stretching of my lobes. So I went to my bathroom, broke a cone shaped piece off of a hair pick, made myself a nice homemade taper and stuck it all the way through one ear. It hurt like hell. It must have been around a 6 G hole in my ear. I found a cheap plastic earring and stuck it in. I only was brave enough to do this to one ear so I left the other as is for the time being.
Well my newly 6 G lobe was not healing right so I thought to myself it must be the plastic. I did not know of many Places to buy body jewelry at the time so again I went down to Walmart. The biggest size they had was a 10 G captive. I bought one, stuck it in my ear and let my ear heal down to a 10 G. All went good. So now I have a 10 G in one lobe and a 16 G in the other. Again I do not advise you skip sizes like that. Ok well I now found a nice site on the internet and ordered me a pair of 10 G tunnels. They came in the mail a few weeks later and I stuck them in, stretching my remaining 16 G lobe to a 10 G. Now both lobes are at 10 G. Im pretty happy with myself by this time. I let both lobes heal completely and I stayed at 10 for a long time.
Well months go by and I decide im going to stretch again. Again out of stupidity I order a pair of 4 G acrylic plugs and stretch both lobes from a 10 G to a 4 G. Not such a smart idea. They were pretty bad for a week or so, but then everything began to heal up nicely. I stayed at 4 G a while as well, bought me a pair of tunnels, and all was good. More months go by and I want to stretch more, its an addiction! I buy a pair of 2 G glass plugs off the same site, they come in the mail I stick them through my ears no problem.
So now both ears are at 2 G. I have been getting a lot of compliments from random people about my lobes, and my family for the most part has accepted it. So I was happy. I was walking in a local flea market one day and noticed a jewelry stand and it has body jewelry in it. For really great prices. So I picked me up a pair of 0 G flared tunnels. I went home later that day and try to to get them in. I had difficulty in doing this so I gave up for the time being. I went off to work, then when I got home from work I try to again. I finally got them in. My ears are now hurting pretty bad, and they are swollen but I like what I see. About 2 weeks go by and they are for the most part healed up nicely.
That was my last stretch, I now have 0 G in both lobes and am pretty satisfied with myself. I will most likely continue stretching and go bigger, I have a pair of 00 G plugs sitting on the shelf right now waiting for me. I think I will stay at 0 G for a while then eventually go bigger. But through this journey of stretching my ears I have come to love body modification, I plan on getting other piercings done in the future as well. Well I hope you all enjoyed reading this maybe I have helped some of you out that were in the same position as me.
