Gauges without my mom knowing I have earrings?
So I stretched my ears with a stainless steel nail. It was 2" and 25mm. I think that was length though.. but idk. Can someone tell me what gauge that is? It is pretty thick for me and hurt like a b**** to put in..plus it was hard trying to do it without my mom seeing me cuz she dosent approve of me doing it. So how can I actually get real gauge earrings without her knowing so I can actually have earrings??

Hey there! I have one inch lobes!
Sticking a nail in your ears was realllllly not smart, especially if your ear hurts, you probably had a blow out, and depending on the nail I'd say it was a 6 or an 8, not smart. you can usually find a store in your area that sells tapers and plugs for about 5 dollars a pair. My advice, take the nail out of your ear NOW! You are going to cause damage to your ear lobe that will create scar tissue which will make it incapable of stretching them any bigger. My parents disagree with me having stretched lobes at first even at a small 2, you need to realize a few things, yes it is a trend and a pretty cool one, but once you get to a certain size you cannot go back and you will have to live with it or spend money to have your ear lobe cut. If you are absolutely sure, tell your parents you will go to a small size such as an 8 or 10, if they approve go to that size, they usually be okay with you going bigger after that, I got my parents to agree to a 0 and now I am an inch. Just remember to take that nail out of your ear, put your earrings back in and soak your earlobe in sea salt until it heals, after that ask your parents for approval, and if they say yes go buy a proper pair.

First off, That was probably the length of the nail..or your earlobe would have been severely damaged. Look up Ear Plug Size Chart on Google images and you should be able to tell what size you have by holding it to the screen of your computer. Shoving a nail through your ear wasn't the smartest idea. Sretching your ears is a slow process and if your doing it right you shouldn't have much if any pain. I don't know how old you are, but if you have money and a ride, just go to your mall, there are alot of places that sell them. (Hot Topic, Nirvana, Karma, or any tattoo shop) If your wanting to go to 00g then you should probably buy a kit off the internet and spend around $30.00 on a whole kit for stretching your ears. Between going to a bigger size wait around a month or longer or you WILL blow out your ears, and it will be very gross and painful. Stretch your ears with a taper, you only need one for each size, and wearing tapers as jewelry is bad because your holes will be bigger on the front and smaller in the back so it will be a tunnel. It also wieghs your lobes down. Clean them everyday, soap and water will do fine. Oh, and when I stretch my ears I do it in the shower, once im already clean. It helps your skin become more elastic, plus more lubrication! Use lots of lubee!
I can't really tell you much about your mother.. Just do it anyways unless you think she would rip them out. My mother never approved of piercings and I did alot myself when I was fourteen, she made me take them out but I'd re-do it later anyways. By the time I was 16 she kind of gave up and took me to get professionally pierced, to avoid various infections.
I hope everything is in there! try looking up more info online somewhere. Good luck, and I hope I helped!
