I’ve decided to try and rake my piercings up and down in size a little more, so the bottom two holes have now been stretched up to 3.2mm and 2.4mm respectively.
I’ve already had 2.4mm flesh tunnels through them, so it’s not that arduous a stretch, but still a little painful.
My tip for anyone stretching piercings? Plenty of moisturiser on the stretching cone.

A single taper stretch usually can be achieved in a few hours to a day, and since mine have all been stretched before it pretty much took an hour. I just pushed the taper through and followed it with the ball closure ring.

Ouch. At full magnification, some of your ball jewelry looks like grenades or small land mines. 💣💥💣💥💣💥
