    My ears are at 1.6mm at the moment i want to stretch them to 5mm, don't know much about the stretching process. I'm interested in doing it myself but not fully sure how. Anyone can tell me more about stretching? Would be greatly appreciated. :D

    I went in to bodyshock recently (I've gotten all my piercings there and really like them) and they quoted me eighty quid for stretching....which I'm begining to think was a little bit more than usual, seeing as every other price here is lower......

    wow.
    well, maybe prices are high for ear stretching then, considering someone else paid 60euro and they're saying 80.
    I'm glad I stretched mine myself,saved me money.
    Although, I definitly don't think it's anywhere near as high as those prices, where I get pierced..I must ask.

    Any piercing studio should only charge for the jewelry, the stretching should be done for free. And as for going to one shop (ie snake-bite) as apposed to another (ie Metal morphosis) because it'll be done "right", thats a bit odd, it's very difficult to **** up a stretching, the onlt mistake a shop can make is stretching too much to soon, and most shops have a "no jumping sizes" rule so you can only go one size at a time. If you are affiliated with one shop(ie snakebite) fair enough but you don't have to accuse other shops (ie Metalmorphosis) of not being able to do their jobs properly.....Thats just childish behavior and is helping nobody!

    Hmm. Well you see I got my ears pierced and stretched to a 5 in the one sitting. Now if you consider that in metal morphosis, flesh tunnels cost €20 (or 2 for €30 or sumthin like that), and also the piercing of two ears (piercing with ring costs around €18 so without ring around €10) you would be talking about a price of around €50-€60. I personally wouldn't hesitate paying more to go to snakebite as opposed to metal morphosis, cause I know it'll be done right.

    This is the kind of childish, ignorant crap i'm referring to.....this is peoples jobs you are talking about. If you can't even stretch your own ears then you are in no position to put down a professional shop and it's staff. All the professional shops, (ie Body-shock, Snake-bite, Metalmorph, celestial) are all good shops in their own way.
