So, i went from 18 to 16 and waited about three weeks. i finally got some earrings from a friend for free so i cleaned them off and then put them in my ear. turns out, they're 12's. so i skipped. i dont think its that bad. its only one small size. how long should i wait before i put 8s in ?
i know its based on pain and stuff.. but on a normal basis.
i do not want to wait 6 weeks. thats just not gonna happen unless i feel pain.
do i wait two to three weeks ?
when you're stretching up a size, if you use a horn taper, is it normal to feel the gauge stop in your ear? and it wont really budge with *the regular minimum force it should require* or is it normal.
thank you!

If not or the pain was minimum don't worry about it. You should go to 10g before you go to 8g though. But if you do decide to skip sizes again. I'd say wait about a month. Waiting really does pay off in the end. Trust me! While you are stretching if there is blood stop! and put in the size plug you were currently at and wait a couple weeks to try again. It shouldn't be unbearably painful. Listen to your body and don't rush it. [ pandorainaboxx's advice column | Ask pandorainaboxx A Question ]
