Hey i have 6 gauged ears and i got some new earrings that have a bigger end so how do i get them in?


If they're single-flared you just put the "smaller" end in first. If they're double-flared you need to put them in at an angle. If they won't fit, you need more time at 6g or you need 8g of the same style [since the ends are more wide than the actual wearable area].

    you need to use a taper. its small on one end and gets bigger on the other end. this will stretch your ear holes out to the size you want em.

    here is a pic of some tapers…http://www.bodyjewelleryworld.co.uk/ESsteeltapers2.jpg

    hope i helped!

    your going to need to stretch your holes. You can start but pulling the rings currently in down ans moving them around. I had a friend who used to use a chop stick and stick it in to stretch the hold. You can also have a piercer do it

    you just have to shove them in. if you cant do it you can go to the piercer that did it and they can put it in.

    im guessing you talking about doulbe flared jewerly or the jewerly with the lips on each end those can be a pain to put in and the smalled gauge sizes just makes sure your ears are fully healed and you have been at your size for at least 3 weeks tyr lubing them up a bit

    EDIT: most important make sure you angle the jewerly so it goes in dont put it in stragith forward
