Hiya, I've literally just started stretching my ears. Had my ears pierced for over 10 years now and went from that to 14g today, I got my kit online it came with metal tapers and steel plugs I initially put the taper in my ears and put both plugs in after massaging them with some oil for a bit. They are both in and it's been maybe half an hour, and I'm in a bit more pain than I thought I would be. After running the tapers through my ears, they bled a bit, so I initially wasn't going to continue, but I'm worried I've messed up.If I leave them, they just sting like new piercings, but if I accidentally knock them or touch them, it's very sore. My earlobes look normal. I'm just wondering if I should stop now and not try, or keep them in.
