What Size Is A 12mm Gauge?

If you are used to the metric, gauges can be hard to picture without visual aid or the help of an expert. However, to help you visualise, 12mm converts to half an inch.


What Are 12mm Plugs In Gauge?

The smaller the number, the bigger the gauge size. The biggest gauge size is double zero gauge, which equates to 10mm or 3/8ths of an inch. 12mm converts to half an inch, which is much larger than the double zero gauge and could potentially cause permanent stretching.


Can I Stretch My Ears Every 2 Weeks?

No, you should always wait a month or two for the stretch to heal completely before attempting to take the gauge size up a notch. It is a long, arduous journey- prepare for that.


How Can I Stretch My Ears Without Tapers?

You can start by wearing heavier plugs that make ears bigger. Adding larger jewellery to stretch the gauge could also work, but never overdo it. Ensure that you are always comfortable when adding on any extra weight. You can also add some PTFE tape to your current plugs.


At What Point Should I Stop So My Gauge Can Shrink Back?

Professionals suggest that the point of no return would be anything larger than a 0 gauge. You want to stop at a 2 gauge, though and not push it all the way through. Our bodies are not toned the same, and for some, the point of no return could be way before the 0-gauge level.
