You can stretch them yourself. How big are you looking to go? Bear in mind it could take quite a while to do it properly.

Scalpelling= cutting a slit with a scalpel, no tissue removed, great for stretching further because it can correct bad placement and people I know who've had it done said their ears loosened up really quickly afterwards.
Dermal punch=punching a hole with a circular scalpel, removes a tissue of circle and is not so good for stretching because it removes tissue.

The spike things are called tapers and you use them to get to the next size in one go, they're not to be worn for extended periods of time, so you can't use them to stretch 'gradually'. If you want to stretch up in a gradual way, PTFE tape is the way to go.

sorry seen this and HAD to post it!

from the bmez encyclopedia!

The biggest key in stretching is to take it slow and listen to your body! Philip Barbosa adds,

"This might not be accurate, but when I was in college and stretching my ears seven years ago, in Toronto 0 gauge ears were not that common and usually noticed. My humanities professor told me a story about a tribe in Africa where the stretching of your lobes represented knowledge gained through listening. If done correctly, and done over time, you showed years of knowledge obtained from listening to elders with much larger lobes and much more knowledge than you. If you went too fast though, you would mess up your ears and look like someone who was passing themselves off as falsely knowing more than everyone else... the village idiot."
