gauging

The process of stretching a person's piercings from one gauge to a higher gauge.

Common gauging movements are from 8g to 6g, 2g to 0g and 1/2"g to 5/8"g.

Gauging too fast can cause tearing or a blowout.

I tore my ear the other day while gauging from a 4g to a 0g.

taper

A device used to stretch piercings. It is small on one end and gradually increases in size until it reaches the proper gauge.
