I'm actually going to stop at 8's for a special reason. Since I have two holes in each ear, one right in front of the other, if I do too much, they could grow together, which is bad. Plus, I already have to wear eyebrow retainers at work, but they let me wear my ear rings, and if I go too big, that might cause a problem.
I like the size of the 8s anyway. Plus my ears have been itching like crazy while they have been stretching out. I think I could only go for that twice.
yeah, I had to take out the second holes I had in each ear b/c they starting getting closer and closer to the first hole that I was stretching. I eventually repierced them though. Just clean it out a lot when you are in the shower and remember not to use any type of petroleum product (ie neosporin) or hydrogen peroxide on your ears... (when I first started I used these and my ears got MEGA infected. Nah, I'm still in Athens.. changed apartments for the summer then changing again at the end of the summer. Blarg...
