I mean, you CAN...nobody is stopping you, lol. But why would you want to? Make sure to clean your ear with HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to help fight the infection. Also, clean your tunnels/plugs in the peroxide.

Can you gauge your ear cartilage?

From what I know, have your cartilage already pierced before you try to gage it. I pierced my own, then once it healed i put a 14 gauge through it. It didn't really hurt but pinched a little.


When can you put a 14 gauge barbell thorough your ear lobe?

Putting a 14 gauge barbell through a piercing the size that it was pierced at, around a 20-18 gauge, is not recommended because you will be skipping sizes. But if you can put it through with no pain or blood then your'e good to go. You cannot put it straight through without a prior piercing. If it has been pierced and completely healed and already stretched to 16 gauge, yes.


Can you put gauges in already infected ears I had three forth inch gauges in and they got infected. can i put a smaller gauge in while the ears aren't completely healed so they wont close up?

Well me personally mine got infected once i moved up to a 6g i washed it with soap,applied vitamin e oil, it didnt really help much until i got the idea to use bactine (the spray) it doesnt burn or anything i sprayed it on the front and back of my ear and i also sprayed it on my flesh tunnel before putting it back in my ear i was amazed it actually cleared up in a day or two. i hope this helps and good luck with stretching


How can you tell if your ear piercing os infected my ear has been hurting lately and it keeps bleading and it hurts to put it back it Is it infected?

What is the cause of a lump on your outer ear above the ear lobe on the cartilage area of the outer ear?

You may have an infection. I got my lobes pierced, and my left ear got infected, but now my right ar is infected, and not my left. My piercer told me to put "a topical ointment" on it if it gets infected (a topical ointment is something like Neosporin which works well for me). I also take Ibuprofen an hour or so before bed so I sleep easier, and it doesn't hurt as much. Go ahead and call a doctor or piercer. Even if you don't have your cartilage pierced, put Noesporin on it, take Ibuprofen, and calll a doctor.


I have a 16 g earing in and can fit 4 20 g earings in also what size gauge is your ear?

If you get your ear pierced with a 16 or 18 gauge but put a 14 gauge earring in will your ear split?

Well 18g and 16g are neighbours in the gauge world, 14g is the next largest gauge from 16g so you would just be stretching the piercing up to 14g. All stretching should be done with proper tapers and ultimately done by a professional body piercer to ensure the piercing isn't torn in the process.


How do you put an ear cover with a bridle?

Why does she put an onion in a ear?

Putting a nice warm onion in the ear canal is supposed to cure ear aches. But it is really a just myth. Anything warm will make the ear feel better but it can't cure an infected ear. Bacteria are not going to be killed this way.


You pushed a 10 gage earing through your 14 gage ear and you heard a pop in your ear and it started to bleedThe bleeding stoped and you sterilized an earing and put it in you ear what going to happen?

First, you should never skip a gauge when your trying to make them bigger. Only go up one size every time. You probably tore the hole. If you keep it clean and take care of it like you would when you first get something pierced it should heal but may have some scarring that could make it more difficult to gauge because scar tissue is different from skin and regular tissue. If it gets infected you need to go see a doctor.
