Instant Flesh Tunnels
Why wait months and months to stretch a normal ear piercing when tunnels can be inserted instantly with the Accupierce Tulip Needle.
Flesh Tunnels as large as 5mm diameter can be inserted immediately with the Accupierce Tulip Needle. NO SKIN IS REMOVED!
At present the sizes that can be accommodated are 3mm, 4mm and 5mm.
Another amazing advantage with this method is that there is virtually NO PAIN. It really has to be seen to be believed.

stretching a piercing
WARNING-----
If you think that you may not want a hole in your ear in the future, DO NOT start.
Stretching should be done as SLOWLY as possible. DO NOT USE IT AS A RACE!
( unless you want a torn ear. . . if so, there are better ways of achieving this! ).
Stretching does NOT HURT AT ALL if done PROPERLY!
MYTH.......There is a false idea going around that if you keep the hole less than 10mm diameter, it will shrink back to its original size. This may be true in a minority of cases, but there is absolutely NO guarantee that this will happen. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT ! For example, we have seen a 14mm hole close up completely.! YET, we have also known a 3mm hole not to close at all. . . .
In our experience, even ears on the same person will behave differently.
METHOD...
You will need a tapered stretching pin and some antiseptic cream or some sort of lubricant that dissolves on or absorbs into the skin. Lubrication is a MUST, but do not use grease that will not dissolve/absorb. Germolene or antiseptic cream is ideal! Or olive oil / coconut oil as a more natural alternative.
Always start with the smallest sized stretcher. 1.6mm or 2mm is the best size to start with.
Use a stretching taper that has been specially designed for ear stretching. There are many different designs of taper available (we do not sell many of these but you can buy them from a reputable body piercing supplier online).
Warm the earlobe with some water as hot as you can bear, without causing damage to the skin.
Dip the small end of the stretcher in the cream, etc. and hold it against the piercing.
Push the stretcher into the piercing as SLOWLY as you can, until you reach the largest part of the stretcher. This may take hours or in some cases, days.
STOP if it starts to hurt, otherwise the skin can split, and this can result in having to start the whole process from the beginning AFTER the wound has healed. This could take months, and the scar tissue itself will not stretch as readily as undamaged skin.
Leave the stretcher in as long as possible for the skin to get used to being stretched. Again, this could be hours or days.
Now a tunnel/plug can be inserted into the piercing (using lubrication). The best way to do this is to push the Stretcher out with the new tunnel/plug.

FLEXIBLE SILICONE TUNNELS METHOD
This method is more suited to the larger sizes, e.g. 8mm+.
Flexible silicone tunnels are an easy method of stretching, but this should be done in SMALL 2mm steps. If a silicone tunnel is used that is too big then this can cause infection in the ear. This is not only very painful, it can be quite serious to health. !
DO NOT STRETCH AGAIN UNTIL THE PLUG IS
FREE-MOVING AND COMFORTABLE. This could take up to a month or more.
