I started stretching my ears at 15 and I stopped at like 20....I did it off an on throughout those years...I got to a 00 or I think 8.5mm?? Somethin like that....anyway I could stick my finger through it. Too much of a pain in the ass to try to keep up though, I lost plugs left and right...too much up keep for me. I haven't worn plugs for awhile..but I bet I could still fit a 2g or a 4g through.. These pictures are from when I was like 18 or 19 I think..one of them looks all nasty and lubricated because that was RIGHT after I stretch it myself, and the other one is before I stretched it to a 00...with a marker. I wear normal regular sized stud earrings....you can pretty much tell my ears are still stretched if you look hard enough, but really it's not that noticeable anymore..and I imagine soon they will shrink even smaller...
