My name is Syohh and I'm from Zenica , Bosnia & Herzegovina . I'm going to tell you a story about my ear lobes stretching .
I got my lobes pierced when I was 15 years old by piercing gun in local jewellery shop . They were fine until at the same day I went to the pool an jumped in the water from 5 m drop when the earings fell out . Then I put other earrings in when I got home . They wasn't healing whell , they got infected . I wore them for 2 months and they werent healing . I took them out and I didn't wore them for about 4 years . Then I bought some jewellery and put it in my ears because I wanted to stretch them and they healed in one or two months I think .
I decided to go and stretch my ears at local tattoo and piercing shop ( cober tattoo ) . Nobody around here had stretched ear lobes except one tattoo artist who had 10 mm . It was like unknown around here . Then I got them stretched from 0 mm to 4 mm in piercing studio . I realy liked stretching . But nobody told me I have to go slowly with stretching , because I was the first one who did it in that studio and around here . They hurted a lot , my ears snapped and my right ear was swollen . I couldnt sleep for 2 days . But they got better after couple of days .
I waited for a week after I got 4 mm in and bought 6 mm claws and put them in . They got in so easily . It didn't hurt at all . I wanted to put 8 mm plug right away , but piercer told me not to and that is not a good idea . He didn't told me nothing about thinning . He told me only that that my ear will snap inside ( blowout ) and that it is painful . I didn't knew anything about thinning .
Then I waited for another week and put 8 mm plug in . The lobes were just fine . They hurted a little bit . But no blowouts and nothing serious .
Then after a week I put 10 mm plug in and it hurted so bad . I couldn't sleep at all . It healed up in 10 days . I got blowout in my right ear . But my left ear was just fine . I used octenisept to desinfect my lobes and hydrocyclin for faster healing .
I wanted to putt bigger plugs but there wasn't any to buy around here . Then i started to do taping . I wrapped tape around the jewellery 8 to 12 times a day and I stretched my lobes from 10 mm to 19 mm in 3 weeks . It was a lot of pain and blood . There was 9 mm of tape on my 10 mm tunnel . I knew I had to change my jewellery . There wasn't any 19 mm or 20 mm plugs in local tattoo shop . So I took little car wheels from my brothers toy and put them in my ears ( they were 19 mm ) . Perfect . They looked just like real ear plugs . Then I ordered a pair of 22 mm tunnels to stretch more .
Then 22 mm tunnels came to the studio and I stretched my ear lobes from 19 mm to 22 mm in about 8 days by taping ( 10 to 15 wraps a day ) .
I got 22 mm now in my ears but I got informed at bme encyclopedia and found out that my right lobe has a weak spot and it thinned out a little bit . I stopped stretching . I would realy like to stretch more to about 40 mm but I cant :( . Mostly I had problems with my right lobe .
My stretching from 0 mm to 22 mm took about 2 and half months .
Then just recent I decided to pierce my ears again . I got them pierced above this ones by piercing gun . I was planing to stretch them too . I bought 2 mm claws . I waited for two weeks for them to heal , but they wasn't healing at all . I just couldnt wait and put 2 mm claws in . It hurted so bad . It was a lot of blood . I couldn't sleep for 5 days . Again my right ear swolle and it took 5 days to come back to normal size . I used and I'm still using octenisept and hydrocyclin for faster healing .
Now after a week of pain and suffering they are healing whell . Whell I think so .
I don't recommend this kind of stretching to anyone . Go slowly , that's my advice .
From now on I will take my stretching reeeealy slowly .
