Understanding Tapers & Stretchers By Gauge

Progressing Through Gauges

Using the correct progression ensures your ears stay healthy. Move from one gauge to the next sequentially — for example, from 20G to 18G, then 16G, and so on. Skipping gauges increases the risk of tearing or permanent damage. If you’re unsure which gauge comes next, check our subcategory links above to see all available sizes.

Tips for Gauge Selection

Listen to your body: if a taper feels too tight, wait a few more days before attempting the next size. Lubricate before insertion and only stretch when your lobe is fully healed. Following this approach guarantees a safe, comfortable, and consistent stretching experience.

Professional Piercing Advice

Consulting a professional piercer ensures correct sizing, technique, and aftercare guidance. They can recommend the right taper and gauge progression tailored to your anatomy and experience level, reducing risk of injury. Always follow professional advice over anecdotal online methods.

Additional Resources for Safe Stretching
