How to stop ear bleeding after stretching it?

First time stretching ear lobes.. bleeding?

• okay so on tuesday i went out and bought some 2mm stretchers.. i have the small plastic 2mm taper in my ear now and it didnt bleed at all when i was stretching it but now it's really swollen and when i took it out to clean it started bleeding alotttt until i put the taper back in. i've read sites that say this isn't normal.. but i want to ask normal people who've stretched their ears.. is it normal for it to bleed? is it normal to hurt alot if i touch it? how long will it take to heal? i don't think i'm going to go past 4mm.

• Answer:

  why in the hell are you doing that to yourself? Ya know, someday you're going to grow up. When you get your career going what do you suppose your prospective employer is going to think about a grown up with big holes in his ears? I guess if you're going to be a garbage man or a janitor or a burger jocky it might be ok. But kiddo, you're going to have huge gaping hanging holes in your saggy ears as you age, because our ears and noses keep growing til we die. Take em out and let em heal. geesh
