I made it to a 0 in my left ear! And it didn't hurt all that much. I taped most of the way and finished off with a taper, but I can't seem to be able to get my ss single flare tunnels into my ear. I tried butting it up against the taper and sliding it through but it just seems like my ear shoots back down an ENTIRE SIZE in the .0025 seconds the

it was exactly the same for me when i stretched up, couldnt get the tunnel in. you just have to be patient and keep the taper in your ear for a while so that your ear gets used to being at that size. I stretched in the evening so slept with my taper in and the tunnel went in easily in the morning.

I think I'm going to do just that, maybe put a sea salt compress on it to help with the swelling (for a mildly painless stretch, my ear is SWOLLEN) and then later tonight put the tunnel in.

same thing happened to me when i went to 0g. it looked like the hole shrunk right down, when it was a lot more elasticy than it seemed. try putting it in one side at a time, and stretching the lobe down a little (the way they recommend putting in double-flares).

thats' why i would do - just keep the taper in for a day or two. which is why i usually used talons or claws to stretch, cuz you can push it a bit, leave it for a day, push it in a little further the next time, etc etc.
