Can I stretch my industrial piercing?
Stretching an industrial piercing isn’t usually recommended because cartilage is much stiffer than soft tissue like the earlobe.
Stretching it can cause pain, longer healing times, and problems like small tears, scarring, or even permanent damage to your ear. If done too quickly or incorrectly, it can lead to ongoing discomfort and complications.
However, if you stretch very slowly and carefully, using quality jewelry and getting advice from a professional piercer, it can reduce the risks.
