theyre nothing special, just a 00g taper, a 7/16 taper with pair of steel double flare eyelets, and a 1/2 taper with a pair of steel single flair eyelets. but im really excited cause this means i dont have to have buttholes for ear-lobes

woot! I know just how you feel!
I have all my supplies lined up for the next stretch and it feels goooooood.
Waiting is so hard!

Got my cartilege pierced the other day for the first time as well - now I've got all those earrings to think about too....but have to wait a few months before I can mess with it :-(

nice! i used to be really addicted to stretching, i was at 1", and its weird cause its painful, but at the same time its like the best feeling in the world that i cant get enough of lol, how was the cartilage? ive heard its pretty painful

[fishmommy]

yeah it smarted a bit. it only hurts now if I touch it.
It's not that it hurts a lot more than lobes (I had a couple of lobe piercings done at the same time as the helix) but somehow it's a more *wrong* kind of pain where your brain just goes 'whoa!'
It's gonna suck sleeping on only one side for 3 months, but hopefully it will heal up nice and I can start all over again with the other side.

I know what you mean about stretching being kind of addictive. I am stopping for sure at 2g though because of my job. One more stretch to go and I'm done.

I came into this thread expecting to see some leopard geckos or snakes attached to the earlobes. I am kind of disappointed!

LMFAO @Buttholes for earlobes

I honestly feel that it is one of the best feelings to finally get some new gauges

lol, nope no animals in my ears, although when i had my kingsnake i would put him around my neck and he would always crawl through my earings, they were ALOT bigger then though.

i just got out of the shower and put in my 00g and it went right in, no pain, but a little pressure, so im gonna leave it in for an hour or so before i put the next size in there im so frickin excited, maybe i'll get some pics, who knows...
