Okay, so I've always been fascinated with stretched lobes and body modification overall since a young age (8yrs old). My brother is also into body modification (Tattoo's) but this is another story so on with mine. It was December, 06 when I started my "journey" of stretching. I didn't ask my parents or anything went to the local Hot topic and bought a pair of 10g tapers not the best choice because they were acrylic. At the time i didn't know too much about materials and such.

So i went home with my little 10g tapers and lubed them up and slid them through my ear. Wow, it didn't hurt too bad just the stinging feeling that was gone after a couple of minutes. So i was happy I now had my ear hole bigger a great achievement from a kid of my age. So now it was hiding them from my mom ECT. It was pretty easy must admit.
A couple months later I go back to the Hottopic and buy some 8g Stainless Steel plugs and an acrylic taper they had no other material taper so I stuck with that. I get home go to my room lube them up like before they slide right through. Just the burning sensation again. About a month after having these my mom noticed them but she didn't know that I had stretched my ear hole she just knew that i had these really "ugly" earrings on. She made me take them off I put the 10g back in.
Lucky me i have a friend who has a whole shitload of extra plugs because she was already at a 0g. She gave me a pair of 8g I put those on after cleaning them and such. So on i went happily with 8g plugs back in my ear. This time around my mom didn't notice them.2 months went by I go back to the local Hottopic and buy a pair of 6g plugs.
I was just so excited I went into the infamous Claire's store stood in front of a mirror and put them on. It BURNED!! But it stopped after a couple of minutes passed. Once I had my 6g's for like 3 months my brother confronted my about having stretched ears.
I didn't even try to deny it I said yeah I do. He was fine with it no problems. About a week later it was time to tell my mom.
So I she's in my room and my brother help me out by starting to talk about them.
I tell her and she's okay with it disappointed but okay with it. They all tell me not to stretch anymore but of coarse I don't listen. So it been at least 3 ½ months since I had m 6g's, I grew tired of them they looked small and puny. So do you remember the friend with a shitload of plugs? Well I asked her if she had any 4g's. She said yeah I do and the next day brought them to me. A pair of 4g Stainless Steel tunnels to this day I love them.
I take them home, sit in my room and slide them through. They look beautiful and magnificent. At the time my mom was in the hospital for some things. So we went to visit her and while there my brother noticed my new plugs. I said oh there the same size just the out rim make them look bigger. He believed it and as for lying to them well I had to if I ever wanted to get what I wanted.
The 4g's heal nicely no problems. So once again back to Hottopic it's always the same process Buy, Lube, Slide, Burn, Yay! So as I'm putting the 2g in my left ear it slides right through no pain or anything. I was amazed my left ear had self-stretched to a 2g but I was always playing with it so. Now for my right ear I started sliding it through my ear it stopped missing like a quarter of the way. I gently pushed it in further until it got to the end of the taper.
It starts burning like crazy so I do some SSS to try to calm it down it works. I then line up the taper and the plugs and put them in no problems. So days go by and I'm constantly cleaning them because I'm just such a germ freak. Days go by and the amount of sebum starts decreasing. There's still that HORRIBLEMOTHERFUCKINGDEADRAT smell.
Months go by and I haven't tried stretching any further for the fear of tearing my lobe. Considering the stretch of 2g to 0g (my goal) is just terrifying form what I've heard
I decide to take a visit to my local Hottopic and see if they had any new plugs. Indeed they did they had these AWESOME plugs with the Virgin Mary on them. Bad part they only had them in 0g so I bought them happily. Went home tried to see if they would even budge and nope they would go in. So now I go on www.bodyartforms.com and start looking through there things I find these gorgeous pair of Gorilla Glass bulletholes that I must have.
I start asking my mom to buy them for me with her credit card at first she's reluctant but then she gives in. I bought a stretching kit, 0g bulletholes and some emu oil. I ordered it on Saturday so I'm still waiting for them to arrive they should be here by tomorrow.
Hope you enjoyed it. :]
