right basically, 2025 i started stretching both my ear lobes, i stopped stretching my left ear at about 3.5mm cuz i realised it was like wonky (got my ears pierced at claires so im not surprised lmao) my right ear is at 9mm now and my left ear has shrunk back down to size blablah okay lets get into the story

THIS SUB IS GIVING ME A WARNING SO IM TELLING YOU DO NOT REPIERCE UR EARS URSELF, GET IT DONE BY A PROFEESSIONAL

i got a 1.6mm needle and repierced my left ear, i didnt have anything other than some glass dead stretching plugs, so i put that in. then realised that i would need to put an o-ring on the end of it bcz obv it would just slide out.

i didnt realise that ur earlobes could SWALLOW things and so far my left ear has swallowed TWO o-rings, i got one out but theres still one stuck in there and im freaking tf out..

(why did i repierce my ear myself, im a dumbass 16yr old, any advice would be apprecitated, also cant guarantee to get myself a piercing appointment because theres barely any piercers where i live and they are like all booked up)

update: i just got one out, turns out it swallowed THREE
