One of my pet peeves is when I see these hot topic kids talk about stretching their ears as gauging. You morons really do not know what you talk about. It is called stretching, not gauging. There is a reason for the misunderstanding tho, on the packages they buy with the tapers and plugs, it has something like 2g, which stands for 2 gauge. The American sizing for ear stretching is in gauges, like steel, till you get to the 7/16 in. This, in my honest opinion is laughable. It is much easier to to just use what everyone outside of hot topic and Spencer's use, the millimeter sizing. This way if they decide to go past the 00g (9-10 mm) they will not get laughed out of a conversation by a person who is a true modifier, who will look them in the eye and call them a MORON. Also, there are two more things, the first, the things you put in your ears after you stretch them, are not gauges, they are either plugs, tunnels, or on occasion pincers. The second is, if you are looking for information on stretching, please go to http://www.youtube.com/user/thekingflatland?feature=watch he has a video for everything from how to stretch to how to take care of organics.
