The technique of stretching ear piercings is intended to intentionally enlarge the piercing to a preferred dimension for the sole purpose of wearing larger jewelry. This practice is also known as “gauging”. Ear lobes are the on the whole the universal area that is stretched although other familiar spots for distending piercings comprise the tongue, nose, and lips.
The taper is one
piece of equipment that is commonly utilized when it comes to
stretching piercings and these are usually made from metal or acrylic,
with one end possessing a gauge whilst the tapering down to a point at
the other end.
The bigger the spot, the more time it will take. A lubricant is applied to the taper prior to it being introduced into the piercing. These lubricants are tremendously important because they help to reduce the chafing associated with the procedure and therefore make it less painful.
If
you are contemplating getting a stretching done then you should always
locate a professional who is experienced in this procedure to lessen the
risks of something going wrong. Another thing that you need to consider
is the fact that your body may not react very well to undergoing this
procedure and it is something that you will need to keep an eye on. You
will need to keep the stretched area clean and free of infection by
constantly bathing the affected area on a regular basis.
Even following stretching’s, particular care is necessary because even after the piercing has mended there is a risk that the skin will become emaciated, making it liable to inflammation, infection, impairment and scar tissue development. Consequently, stretching body piercings should be undertook progressively using aseptic procedures.
As a general rule, piercers will advocate that you put off for six weeks the wearing of jewelry that places surplus force on the area. Subsequent to stretching piercings, jewelry that is not dangerous and constructed of the right materials is suggested.
