Agreed, when I was at 7/16" and decided to go all the way up to 1 1/4" I knew I'd be doing a lot of stretching, and waiting to heal, and stretching and more waiting to heal. So in between I just bought the cheap $10 pairs of acrylic plugs and for quite a while just used one pair and in the process of stretching just kept wrapping ptfe tape around it to make it larger rather than buying new plugs. Once you get up into the larger sizes it's easier to just use the tape wrapping method than buying new tapers and plugs for each size.
Once you get to a size you plan to stay at for a while then it's worth it to invest in good quality plugs. I'm currently awaiting some custom carved obsidian stone tear drops :) Should finally have them in another week or two.

This is in memory of my son and it's on my left shoulder blade. They are his actual footprints down to every detail. He was only a little over a pound when he was born so they are pretty petite :love:

OKAY now I'm posting a picture of my whole setup here.

Just yesterday, or you can say Friday, I got my ears pierced. Two more holes on both ears, so now I got 3 holes. I've been cleaning it out 3 times a day but they are still sort of sore. I can't really sleep on my side, even though I'm a side sleeper, but I try to do whatever I can.

I also went up a gage size, now they're at 14G. I decided to go with the silver ones because it just looks better overall with the diamond studs in the other holes.

hahaha. i got my one ear pierced at 14g and the other at 12g...

Nows when the fun starts :D

Stretching isnt fun... but for some reason I couldnt stop for a while haha.

If you plan on stretching your ears be careful with those other 2 piercings they might get in the way if you go to big...

I think stretching is awesome LOL! It hasn't hurt for me yet. I had my 16Gs in for about a month, then when I was at Hot Topic I asked the guy if it would go in easily and he said yeah. He was pretty much right too. I had no troubles putting them in at all:).

And yes, I won't go too large, too large seems like too much to handle IMO. On some people it does look good though, just I only want to get smaller gauges and nothing big at all.

I have gauged both of my ears to 2's on the earlobe. I'll find pics to post later. It's nothing special, but I like it, and I'm going bigger. :)

............ Just wait............

The size difference for those smaller gauges is barley noticible... What is your idea of "big" lol...

Trust me its not that bad... yet

I think I went from 12 to 8g... Once you get to a bigger size, the guage size is a bigger increase. like 10 to 8 is not the same size increase as 6 to 4.

PS. going to 00g SUCKS.

Lol soo true! I got pierced at 14's and after 3 weeks went straight to 10's without any pain. But once you get to 6's, that's when it started hurting to stretch(for me atleast) :gj:

That heart ones pretty sick. I cant come up with any ideas of colored tattoos that has a meaning to me... lol... All of the tattoos if thought of getting are just black.

Idunno... I just like black i guess...
