The Ultimate Guide To Ear Stretching (Ear Gauging)

What Do You Need for Ear Stretching?

The first step involved in ear stretching is getting an ear piercing. All you have to do is go to a professional piercing shop to get your ear pierced. It is important to give the piercing some months to heal. Your piercer must be approved and licensed by your state. In some cases, estheticians [1] and tattoo artists may have to get extra training to do piercings.

If your piercer does not use sterile equipment, you may experience several health conditions, like HIV, [2] hepatitis, [3] and many more.

You can increase the size of your piercing after it has completely healed. You will need the following equipment to stretch your ear holes:

  • Tapers
  • Lubricants
  • Plugs
