Go to your piercer and ask him/her for a taper. If they do not have one available, they should be able to point you in the direction of where you can get one. A taper allows you to stretch your ear to the desired gauge. Stretching needs to be done slowly, you should only stretch to a new gauge about every 1-2 months to allow your ear to recover from the last round of stretching. After you get the taper, slowly insert the smaller end of the taper into your piercing, then your ear stretches as the wider end is fed through. Do not skip gauges as it is not good for your ear and can potentially pose problems. Good luck!
