A few thoughts before ruining your ears
we have been somewhat alarmed by the number of people telling us about how they stretched their ears straight to a 10mm or even a 16mm in one night. So we thought it might be a good idea to remind all our customers of a few commonsense facts.
1) Flesh Tunnels of any size should be regarded as a permanent body modification. While sometimes they may “shrink” down there is no hard and fast rule dictating this. It depends on your body and your ears.
2)Don’t go too fast. Stretching your ears is not supposed to be excruciatingly painful. Go slowly, increase the size of your tunnels once every few weeks. If it bleeds or burns seek advice from a professional. If it gets infected seek advice from a medical professional.
3)Don’t get silly. Think things through carefully before getting tunnels. Seek your family and friends’ advice and follow it. Consider if it will affect your future job prospects. Remember point 1. Flesh tunnels are permanent.

This is excellent advice. And it gives the best results too (no skinny thin lobes!)

I completely agree..
I started on 1.5mm and have got up to 6mm now.. (Over the course of about a month.. Some I did only wait a couple of days.. but that was the small ones, and I was extra careful. I am only going up to 8mm so they have a chance of shrinking back to normal should I not want them anymore but I still know that they might not but I also know my body and how quick my piercings heal to know it will..
But yeah I can’t understand how anyone can stretch straight to 10mm or 16mm in one go.. you run the risk of blow outs or even splitting your earlobes//
guys just be patient!!
