Ear Gauge Update #Failed

So guy's I'm so sad. I wasn't able to continue on with my ear gauging journey. I tried going up from a 4G to a 2G and I was having too many complications with it that I just took them both out. 

My ear wouldn't heal and there was just too much puss and blood for about 2 days that I couldn't deal with it. I took that as my sign.

Gauge Check In | Size 4G

So I'm now successfully on a size 4 gauge. I waited a little bit more time to up my size compare to last time. I can say that with each size you go up, the tighter the fit. So I suggest anyone doing this to wait as long as possible in between sizes after an 8G. 

Note: I did experience a little bleeding after the third day with a 4G when I took out my taper to clean it. I was little hesitant to put it back in if it was going to just keep bleeding. Thankfully it stopped and we are still on the journey!

Gauge Check In | Size 6g

Here is my ear stretching update with a 6g [$12.00] from Hot Topic.

The last time I tried to gauge my ears I stopped at an 8g because of the constant pain. This time around I am not having any troubles. I've been waiting around 2 weeks before I up my sizes and I clean them every day in the shower.

Gauged ears are so beautiful!

 If you can't deal with the pain you won't be able to handle it.

 I tried doing it for a while but had to stop. Not only did the pain stop me, but the smell is so not cool. 

On another note, I would consider trying once again in the future. Also what size is this gauge?

Gauge Check In | Size 16G

So I went ahead and officially started gauging my ears as of yesterday! I went to Hot Topic and got some information with one of the associates. I was told I should start off with either an 18 or 16 gauge; I bought the 16.

Side note: $18 is a little pricey for an earring that I am only going to wear for a couple of weeks.

Above is an example of how large/small of a gauge I would be comfortable with. I'm not interested in big droopy plates in my ear, so don't think I will get to an outrageous size. 

I will keep you all posted on my ear gauging journey.
