we have been somewhat alarmed by the number of people telling us about how they stretched their ears straight to a 10mm or even a 16mm in one night. So we thought it might be a good idea to remind all our customers of a few commonsense facts.

1) Flesh Tunnels of any size should be regarded as a permanent body modification. While sometimes they may “shrink” down there is no hard and fast rule dictating this. It depends on your body and your ears.

2)Don’t go too fast. Stretching your ears is not supposed to be excruciatingly painful. Go slowly, increase the size of your tunnels once every few weeks. If it bleeds or burns seek advice from a professional. If it gets infected seek advice from a medical professional.

3)Don’t get silly. Think things through carefully before getting tunnels. Seek your family and friends’ advice and follow it. Consider if it will affect your future job prospects. Remember point 1. Flesh tunnels are permanent.
