Wash them with anti bacteria soap every shower like you would your junk. I wouldn't go bigger than 1/2 inch. I have Double Zeros in, but thats as big or small i will go anymore.

why the hell would they smell? sounds like someone doesn't know how to clean their fucking ears. smells go right along with infection and general uncleanliness, so that should NOT be a problem if you care for them correctly. i've seen even giant holes close up. it just all depends on how much your skin can take, and how much scarring occurs. i'm sure there's a limit, i just don't know it.

They will smell while you are stretching up for a few days till you can take them out to clean them well.

Start with the smallest hole you want to. I started at a 14g. Go up one size a month, 2 months is better. People say you can stretch up faster but if you want them to close up when you are older the slower you stretch the better. Mine at at 1 inch and they will close to a 0 in about 2 weeks. Having more scar tissue then you need is what will cause them not to close.

The best size to go to and have them look normal when you are older is 18g. Every body is different but if you follow my advice and stretch VERY SLOWLY you can probably go to a 2 or 0 and not have any problems with them going back to a 16 or 18.

If your ears aren't pierced yet let the piercer know that you plan on stretching your ears. If they are a good piercer they will pierce them a little differently then if you just wanted studs or rings.

DO NOT USE A GUN TO PIERCE THEM OR PIERCE THEM YOURSELF!

Any other questions?

stretched ears tend to smell. gotta clean them a bit.

clean them once or twice a day and you're gravy.

i have 2s and doubt i'll go higher than a 0
might even stay at 2.

Just wash your ears when you shower and they won't smell. They will stink after awhile if you don't clean them.

I had a 0 in one ear and a 00 in the other and the 0 closes up perty good. 00 not so much, but, I didn't stretch it out properly so that may be why. Don't go bigger then a 0 if you want them to close up naturally and stretch them slowly to prevent scar tissue from tearing.

You can go to a doctor and they can direct you where to go to have stretched ears closed. They basicly just abrade the inside of the hole and let it heal shut.

if you want them to close up at some point gauges may not be the best piercing for you.

most of the time they require surgery to close up again

1. yeah, but taking the jewelry out every once in a while and rinsing them isn't that big of a deal. it's not like they constantly smell, it's just that funk builds up. this can vary based on the composition of your jewelry. i believe that many people find that organics are less funky.

2. 6 gauge is commonly accepted as the largest most people can go and have their ears return completely. some people can get away with 4 and maybe a select few with 2 if their skin has high elasticity, but a lot of times beyond 6 gauge you exceed the elasticity of the skin and it won't return to its original form.
(which is why i've been at 6 gauge for so damn long :wink:)

they fucking stink if you dont clean them often enough (its usually only noticeable if u rub them or take them out tho), and the smell is real lingering and doesnt wash off your fingers easily lol

most people say about 8mm is the biggest you can stretch them before they dont shrink down to the size of a regualr peircing, but this is quite variable... i know people who stretched to like 6mm, an tried to take it out and it stayed pretty much the same. also, if you stretch too fast scar tissue mite make them not shrink back down as much as they would if you do it properly

THey smell like vinegar when ya dont clean em, all ya have to do is take them out while showring.
I have 12 mm, but I think if I steadily put smaller ones in every month and then when they were very small scoured them with a knife; they WOULD shrink up to nothing. Mine dont really smell anymore.
