I have had an apadravya for about 3 months and it was done at 12 or 14 guage and i want it stretched to either 10 or 8. I was wondering which is more suggested 10 or 8 and is there a piercer in the St. Paul MN area that will do this?
Apadravya piercings can sometimes be a bit of a difficult stretch. The bottom of the piercing often stretches easy, but the part of the piercing that passes through the head often makes for a tough/uncomfortable stretch. While you may be able to stretch several sizes at once, it is typically best to stretch just one size at a time. So, you may need to stretch the piercing several times to get to your final goal.
Also, depending upon how well the piercing is healing, 3 months might be a little to soon to stretch the piercing.
I’m not sure about St. Paul, but I work at Saint Sabrina’s in Minneapolis and that is definitely something we could help with.

I’m somewhat worried by the idea of an apadravya at such a small size.
Having an RPA, I tell you it’s really tough to stretch that region, because of the flesh. Skin stretches easily, flesh takes a while.

Lauren on November 9th, 2008 at 8:30 pmI’ve just had my apa stretched from it’s initial 8g to 6g, and an ampallang pierced direct at 6g. Only now at this gauge do I feel like they’re comfortably anchored - an apa at 8g felt too fine; 12-14g sounds bloody ridiculous, not to mention painful.
The other option, which might be a better use of your time and money, is to remove the piercing, heal it up, and wait to repierce at a decent gauge (like 6g or 8g). If you’re at 14g now, you’ll have to wait another 3 months or so for each stretch, which means 9 months to get to 8g optimistically, during which time it will basically be a useless appendage. If you pull the thing out at such a small gauge, healing shouldn’t be terribly difficult. You can then *use* the thing again when it closes up, and get it repierced at an appropriate gauge in 3-6 months. The time frame is still ~9 months, but you wont’ have to buy incremental sizes in jewelry you’ll never use again, and will have more time with a fully functional wang.
You can pierce and stretch straight to 6g or so with no troubles as long as you can deal with the stretch pain. If you want the procedure over as quickly as possible, go to 8g direct with an 8g needle and wait at least 4-6 months to stretch up, even if it looks healed.
In the mean time, I’d be keeping yours and others’ hands off the thing until it’s not so fine you don’t slash up your bell end in a blaze of blood and scar tissue.
redeye on November 9th, 2008 at 11:07 pmIt actually doesnt hurt too bad at the 12 or 14 it is at now. Just the occasional pinch.
I just want those pinches to be either less severe or almost nonexistent.
I would really prefer not to take it out and have it repierced.
