    Yo. I was wondering what kinda advice people'd have about stretching cartiledge. I've had my septum pierced nearly a year now, but I've been wearing 1.2mm jewellery since August. Now I wanna stretch it back to 1.6mm. I've tried (unsuccessfully) to put my old jewellery back into it. I'm worried about being too rough coz I don't wanna end up really damaging it in my attempts. Is there anything in particular I should try, or should I just put myself in the caring hands of a professional? I don't mind about pain, I jus don't wanna do any big serious long term damage to myself...

    Go into a piercers shouldn't be a prob to do with an insertion pin, will make your eyes water though

    Yea as above. Usually streching piercings is easy enough to do yourself with some vasaline but cartiledge can be a bitch so call into your piercer and let them at it with a taper.
