Septum: 12g --> 10g [5.22.25]

YEOWCH.

My ears and septum match gauges at the moment lol. 10g all around! I'll see if my ears are ready for another bump up a week into June, but for the meantime everything matches.

I'm fuckin' with the simple hoop fr. I do like the green I previously had, but this is a nice change. Depending on what size I end up sticking with, I'll be willing to drop a little more cash on specific stuff I want. This was a $15-ish dollar hoop while the rest of the crazy shit that was colorful or had spikes was a minimum of $30, and I wanna wait til I'm committed to a size before I spend all that.

Sizing up wasn't too bad. I know it's generally frowned upon, but I did have to use a taper to guide the jewelry in. It wasn't a force, since the taper slid in with no issue or pain. It was just because of how blunt the end of the jewelry is. Luckily the ear stretching kit I got came with tapers [granted, I'm not actually using them for my ears since it's safer not to]. 

I'll be keeping an eye out on this stretch since it's the biggest yet, but hoping for the best.

As always, I'll update as things happen :)
