Some people don't settle for the gauge of their piercing once it's healed. They keep stretching the hole, making it larger and larger. Stretching is a creative way to change the appearance of your body piercing. If you start out with an eighteen or sixteen gauge, after the piercing is fully healed, you can go back and have your piercer insert a thicker gauge, such as a fourteen or a twelve. Once that size heals, you can go down even further, to a ten or an eight. You can gradually work your way down to a 00 gauge-and beyond! Another way of stretching your body piercing is to use an insertion taper, which has a fine point on one end and gradually flares out; the thicker part is slowly pushed through your ear, widening your hole. Your professional piercer can also supply you with a weight to hang from your piercing that will have the same effect.

Body Jewelry - The diameter measures the distance inside a ring; this corresponds to length in the case of a barbell. Because certain piercing swell a great deal when you first get them, you will go through two or more sizes of jewelry. For the initial piercing, the piercer must select jewelry that is wide enough, in the case of a ring, or long enough, in the case of a barbell, to allow for any tissue inflammation. Once the swelling has subsided, you will downsize to a better-fitting piece of jewelry. A common example of downsizing is tongue piercings, which require at least two sizes of barbells-one size for the anticipated swelling and one for the final outcome.
