Ungauge gauged ears

I’m at 5/8 right now and I have to take them out for work. What I heard is the best way to close them up without looking like a retard is go back down. Every week. Go back to one size smaller than you are at. You wont have the weird looking holes in your ears when you go down and you get to enjoy them for a while. Hope that helps.

no, if your holes were about the size of the dime and if youve had them in for about a year or a lot more, then generally no skin thats that far apart cant re-connect itself or grow back together if the hole has healed around the peircing…then its healed it wont ever grow back youll need surgery to ger it looking normal again if you want it this is what kids need to think about first before they run off and gauge there ears because it looked cool

.

I’ve had 0’s if you go anymorethan that your ear will look like a butthole… no jokee.

yeah, if its just the size of a dime it’ll shrink to normal pretty fast.

my ears were at 11/16, which is quite big I guess. I’ve been closing them for about 2 months and theyre at 0, I am hoping theyll go smaller and im sure they will. I hear the best way to shrink is to stretch them a size or 2 bigger before you shrink them, I just hear that works

a couple nights ago I guaged my ears at my friends house. I did 14’s and they were only in for a few seconds but then I took them out right away because I relized I was being stupid . my ear holes do look a bit bigger. will they ever shrink down to normal 18’s ???

I hate people that call them gauges ears, its called streching, and I also hate people that say once you get to a certain point they will never go back, if your gonna give wrong answers dont speak, I had my ears at 3/4 inch for nearly 2 years and took them out a couple months ago and there still healing but id say there at about a 6g right now

this is really something people need to think about before they start. I havnt wore my gauges in 2 years, I was at an inch when I took them out, and my ears have only reduced down to 7/16 and wont shrink anymore.

I have known people to come down from big gauges like mine to completely healed but you have to gauge up first and then take it out and let it heal again and repeat several times.

You’re at an 18 gauge? That’s TINY. That’s a regular earing. I’m at 7/16th. Gauges will shrink back down. I have plenty of friends who got rid of theirs. I think when you reach 1/2 inch is as big as you can go before they wont shrink down.

I’m like the master with gauges. My friend Nik has everything gauged :S

why do people piece gauge and tattoo to the extreme ?it seems like maybe a compulsive disorder or some kind of addiction. ,what can be done to persuade people to stop?

you ear can always go back down if you do it right, your suppose to go backwards from the size you are to the size you started, it really does work, I know somebody that was at an inch whos’ ear blew out and it went back down to regular ear ring size. And I always know somebody who went to a 00g and his ears havent closed all the way, its werid how it works but you just have to do it right,

I think you Mean 18g, not 18 inch gauge. that’d be crazy. Also, Gauges is a form of mesurement that people use, saying a 18 inch gauge would be like “Nice 8 cenimeters miles” just no sense.

anywayyy, depending on the person and the elasticty of their ear, it could close up naturally. Normally the so called “breaking point” is around sizes 0 - 00G. Though, if you are wondering if a 18g will close up, absolutely yes it will. :] hope I helped.

I had the same gauge size. My ears have shrank, and yes they look kinda funny.

However, just because you have gauged ears doesn’t mean you can’t wear “regular” earrings. Of course I don’t wear hoop or dangle earrings because there is a gap.

I wear earrings that can be paired with large, flat, plastic backs that are bigger than the hole (the kind you wore when you were a kid, or grandma).

Don’t be worried, your ears WILL shrink! I would put in smaller gauges, but I wasn’t seeing any major changes.

What did I do? I took them out.

Yes people may stare at the holes in your ears, but it is just something you have to live with if you want your holes to shrink. SO don’t give up!

They WILL shrink. Just don’t count on having an 18 gauge anytime soon.
