Ok, so I've been thinking of gauging my ears, and I've got some questions :]
Anyone here have them/had them? Regret having them?
OPINIONS PLEASE :D

I've had my ears pierced for a longgggg time, but what size do you use with when you first start to gauge them?
Andddd, this may sound like a stupid question, but do they affect your second holes at all?

don't do it, they're unattractive, and the only place you can get a job if you get them is Zoomies and Hot Topic

When they're really large, I think they're unattractive.  I don't want them to be huge though.

i had twelves in my second holes after having them pierced only since the winter. i got them in late april.

twelves aren't all that big, really, so i don't say i regret getting them. i didn't like them though, so i took them out. there was nothing really to regret because they closed up as fast as i had them done.

if you're an easy stretcher, it should be ok. you'll find out the first time you do it whether or not you are. you'll know-- believe me.

just a warning, though-- it's tough to get them to look normal again after going past 4 or 2. it also gets really painful once you get to six and want to stretch up. just make sure there's a lot of healing time in between stretches and take good care of them.

good luck!

[edit: and no, they would not affect your second holes at all.]

Agreed, gauges are a little gross, tapers are nice though.

True that. If you do get them gauged, Don't go a large size, You'd have to have them surgically reconstructed..
