more ear stretching questions

    If anyone could answer a few questions about getting ears stretched it would be much appreciated:D

    1) How long after having ears pierced would you have to wait until you start stretching them?

    2) If you get ears pierced at a higher gauge than normal does it take much longer to heal?

    3) I know you have to keep the original piercing in all the time until it heals, but after a that is it ok to take out the piercing or taper for a few hours each day when i go back to training?

    Thank you much:)

    I would wait about six months afterwards. Yes it will probably take a little longer to heal, and no do not take out the tapers. If your worried about the tapers, just get plugs for each size.

    I'd say give it 6 months before stretching from freshly pierced ears.

    2) If you get ears pierced at a higher gauge than normal does it take much longer to heal?

    Depends on how big you get pierced at and how it was pierced (I.E punched, scalpelled etc.).

    3) I know you have to keep the original piercing in all the time until it heals, but after a that is it ok to take out the piercing or taper for a few hours each day when i go back to training?

    Give it at least a month or so until you remove the jewellery, just to let your ear get used to the size. After that it's fine although it might be a bit tight getting the jewellery back in. Also tapers should not be used as jewellery and just as a tool to stretch.

    Thank you much:)

    :)
