at the smaller sizes you really dont need a taper. all stretches are under 1.5mm up untill a 2-0 stretch, that is when a taper could be helpful. MOST peoples ears wi shrink back decently from a 0 or a 00 but bear in mind that not everyones will. i have a friend of mine who has not had any jewlery in his ears for over 6 months and they still havnt dropped but a single size. and i can assure you he did it all the right way. im not AGAINST people stretching their ears, hell, im taking mine to 1/2''. im just saying THINK before you act. thats all. not saying your son hasnt, jsut saying that the majority DONT. Yeah, my friend and I talked about people not shrinking back and he was saying that it can happen if they stretch to fast. Or use this ointment to break down the scare tissue. He got technical on me but in the lamen terms he was telling me; people who stetch to fast and don't let the stretch heal every time you go up a gauge it will cause more scare tissue and this will cause problems with a natural shrink down. Then the will have to be surgically shrunk. And absolutely make sure this is what you want for sure. yeah i was just saying that even if you do everying right your body might just not be able to heal it. and vitimin E oil, EMU oil, or any number of oils are helpful in doing that. since your son has taken his ears toa 00 i suggest that he get a bottle of either of the aforementioned, and to remove his jewlery and massage his lobes for 3 or 4 minutes a day. just for good measure.

no not really, if the kid was to blame then yes he should have his ass kicked. but since the parents are the ones to blame (since they evidently planned all this) then i believe that they should be held accountable.

You get your face slapped with a riser or line while decelerating from 120 mph, you may think differently. I'm old and boring and only have my ears pierced, but I think Vader's got the right idea of removing all of the exposed piercings. cant say thats happend yet but i have gotten my head knocked in by a 6'4'' dude swinging fists like the worlds going to end . . . .

why would you remove your lip? i dont see it causing any problems. ive had snakebites and a labret at the same time and taken MANY hard hits to the face and never had any problems caused by the piercings. as far as the ears go, as long as you arent wearing any horseshoe jewlery then you run a minimal risk of them being ripped out. i plan on taking my ears to 1/2'' and will wear plugs or tunnels, still dont see much of a hazard with them. now if you are pushing over an inch wiht the ears then yeah i could see a bigger risk posed. now the reason i say becareful with horseshoe jewlery is because i HAVE ripped an 8ga earring out of my left ear, splitting my lobe completely in half. 14 stitches later and its all fixxed. it really dosent hurt as bad as one would think. i barely felt anything, haha. i also have an industrial n my right ear, that stays in as well, since i dnt see any issues there. nipples i could see just because of the snag issues there. you could try covering them wiht a bandage to prevent any issues, but if you are able to take them out safely then by all means do so. i never could when i had mine, they never fully healed. now obviously i dont have very much skydiving experience but if my piercings can survive the hundreds of mosh pits at metal concerts ive been to/in then im not personally worried about it. haha. EDIT: to summarize i have my septum, labret, right lobe(ripped the left out rembe) an industrial in my right ear, 3 eyebrow rings in my right brow, and my tongue pierced. none of which are removed for anything other than a job interview. for some reason society dosent like their firefighter/ paramedics to promote self expression. . . who knew Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.

5--feels good. You gotta be shittin' me. Sounds like masochism to me. I know styles come and go, and I'm way old school, and there are a lot of piercings I like. I just think the long term gauges and permanent holes and dangling loose earlobes are not a good idea. endorphins my good man. the same rush you get from jumping out of a plane. they are your bodies natural opiates. :) and i COMPLETELY agree with you on the whole giant hole thing. most people just do it as a trendy thing and end up regretting it later, which is why there are HUNDREDS (prolly alot more, just dont wanna overestimate) reversed each year. kids rush into things like that not thinking of the long term consequences, then 5 years later when they realise that the real world is a harsh place and not as accepting as they once thought they are shelling out thousands to go under the knife to get the procedure reversed.

1--neither, haha. 2--approximately 8. 3--it dosent after a few months when they are fully healled 4--something like that. 5--feels good. not a clue. getting pierced with an 8ga is nothing too extreme and any reputable shop should be able to do it fint. i have lots of friends with initial 8ga piercings, itll sting for a second or 2, but since there arent very many nerves in a lobe your ok, its nothing close to bad. there are tons of places that would be alot worse. as far as stretching, i say a year froma 8ga to 1/2'' is a little fast. wait at least 2 months between stretches, more if necessary. listen to your body, stretching should NEVER hurt, yes there will be a litttle pressure, but not a stabbing unbearable pain. if you meet alot of resisitance then its probably too early. there should NEVER EVER EVER be any blood involved, this means you ripped your lobe, increasing your chances of a blowout, and scar tissue formation. when youre going to stretch, alot of people find it best to take a HOT shower take out youre existing piercing, massage your lobes and slide your new jewlery from the back to the front. in THEORY this helps reduce blowouts at larger sizes, but its not been proven, so do it if you want, it cant hurt. another thing that can help is to massage youre lobes with either emu or vitimin E oil. you can pick up a bottle at walmart in the health and beauty section. this will help keep your lobes healthy and happy. if you have any other questions post them up.
