Well I decided one day to jump my gauges from 3/4" to a full inch. This was done by slicing the inside of my ear with a razor blade so that it will rip towards my face. I thin took a plastic cup (one of the ones that you get from subway) and cut it into a triangle. I then rolled it into a cone wrapped it with electrical tape, lubed the fuck out of it and jammed it through my ear. It ripped to size. I then put the plug in. Afterwards I had some skin flaps hanging down over the back the ring, so I had to use the razor blade again to cut those off as well.
