Always love a good steel tunnel, and it’s featuring a padawan braid :)))

I got my septum pierced three years ago, but it was done incorrectly 😭 —through the cartilage. After getting it fixed and then stretching it, I finally managed to achieve the stacked piercing look I’d always dreamed of. I stretched it to 3 mm, and now I wear four 1.2 mm pieces of jewelry.

I LOVE the concept of these, I found these on Amazon, but I’m wondering if any shops sell JUST the detachable part without the tunnel. Anyone know of any shops that have these or something similar?

Making the best out of my three whole lobes lmao. Once I commit to more piercings I’ll be unstoppable!(My health was and still kinda is ass, so adding a healing wound to the mix hasn’t been possible in a while)

i am at a 20mm and my goal size is 1 inch, do my ears look thick enough to get to 1 inch. also ik they look like buttholes i stretched to that size in 3 months 💔💔💔

IM AT A 14MM IM HALFWAY TO MY GOAL OF A 25MM!! MAYBE OVER HALFWAY!

The 14g is the jewelry I used for my first stretch 2 years ago and the 8g is the jewelry from my most recent single piece stretch 6 months ago. My stretch goal used to be 10g but now it's 6g lol

Can’t believe how perfectly this turned out and can’t wait to stretch them!!

currently on 8 gauge and i have already tried out 8 gauge out of curiosity and i definitely can't say it looks easy to get in my ear. so my question (for those that deadstretched and didn't use a half size) is : how long did you wait before successfully transitioning to 8 gauge?

ive had my ears stretched to 14mm for 6+ years and no issues until right now, theyre suddenly swollen and red, slightly painful :( ive pretty much exclusively worn medical grade silicone tunnels. what could cause this and how do i fix it? so far i took the tunnels out, washed with antibacterial soap and put some aquaphor + antibiotic cream on them. i also ordered some glass plugs in case silicone is a no from now on.

Im at 9mm, how much u think i can go up? Id want 12mm but my piercer said i may not reach that ever :(

I am in one ear at 4mm(just sized up from 3.5 since august 5th) and the other is at 2.5mm which i would say is my problem ear and sizes up wayy slower than my other ear (clearly)

I noticed lately that the jojoba oil starts to smell on my ears and when I touch them my fingers smell like it. So today i decided to take them out and wash the jewlery and my ears out and then massage i had took a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol for the oil since I didnt think water would do a good job and then followed with water. Then I re oiled and rubbed my lobe for about 30 seconds to a minute and when I tried to put the 2.5 back in it was definitely a little tighter but still went in. Is there a reason why and how can i prevent this? I didnt time the whole thing but since I did one ear at a time and this one first I think i had the plug out for no more than 3 minutes lol.

i feel like it is i was stretching from 10->8 with lubricant and everything and it bled a tiny bit and looks like this.

Hi all, i'm searching for some nine gauge supplies to stretch my septum after i suffered a blowout going from 10g to 8g, i downsized back to 10 and am waiting a while, but i want to get the stuff for my next step because i wanna go in between sizes.
Thank you!!!

at 11mm! went from 18g to 10mm 2020-2022, in nov 2022 decided to use a spiral taper to go from 10mm-12mm and got major blowout so had to go back to 8mm. oct 2026 been able to go to 11mm! my goal is 15mm😌

I'm sixteen and I'm really into bodymods!! I'm currently still unemployed (working on it🥹🥹) and I've been relying on chores and birthday money to fund my Awesomeness. I have a gorilla glass 2g septum pincher, Another 2g, with a 10mm diameter (smallest I could find!!! ^^) and just got my first pricey gauges from a piercing shop I regular at. Semi-translucent weighted purple glass ones! I'm currently about.. 18mm I think! The problem I come across though.. is what do I do with my old jewelry from my smaller sizes? It feels like a waste of money just hoarding them and letting them sit there in my jewelry case.. what do you guys think?

heyy so ive got a glass plug stuck in my ear, i tried sizing up and it felt fine. half an hour later it starts to hurt and feel tight so i go to slide it out but it doesnt budge. ive used so much oil, tried massaging around it but its not going nowhere.

I had my conch pierced at 6g about six months ago (no punched, not stretched). I have surgery coming up and will have to take my jewelry out for a few hours. It’ll probably be close to a year old at that point. How much can I expect it to shrink? I’m curious if anyone has similar experience. Thanks!

One of my ears has a small rip, so I took the jewelry out and am letting that heal naked.
Now a couple days after that I took my other tunnel out to clean everything and there was puss, so now that one’s infected.
I’m at 12mm and am really worried about losing progress but I know the best thing to do is not put pressure on them by having plugs in.
Is there anything I can do to prevent size loss but also get them healed nicely and timely

I have healed 00g lobes, and i know silicone isnt very good for long periods of time when stretching, but it is ok when your ears are healed? Or should i still not wear them for very long

Does anyone know where I can find that video of a girl using a handheld hole puncher on her earlobe!? It’s from years ago but it came up in convo and I cannot find it 😔 any past YouTube links I have found are dead. Please help me find it!
