10 gauge ear stretch
Hey lovies! I did my third stretch today. It was cake! I ordered from MinkyMonky again. This time I stuck with the steel taper since last time trying my acrylic taper was a disaster! Just like predicted, the steel taper was a breeze. This was my first steel taper from MinkyMonky and I notice they are much longer than BodyArtforms. This was also the first time I took a look at a taper and thought "Whoa! That is thick!" I was a bit worried that this stretch might hurt a bit more but nope. Good ol Jojoba oil made it just fine. I also heard of this stuff called Holey Butt'r which is like a cream mixed with different cocoa butters, oils, etc. that is good as well. Check it out!
I chose another simple piece of steel jewelry. I probably have about two more stretches to go before I am done.
For those wondering how my ear looks without jewelry, I included a pic. You really can't see a drastic difference between my other holes (the one in the middle is the one I am stretching)
