I've seen quite a lot of reviews on these, and many people are saying that tapers/tunnels were missing. But the whole package was $10.00 (Hot Topic sells each size of tapers for $10-$15 a piece) so I decided to risk it. However, every taper was present and accounted for. I got 2 tapers and 2 tunnels each for sizes 12g to 0g. I guess my only compaint is that a 12 is way too big for me to have started with so I spent a couple more dollars to get a set of 16's and 14's. So if you're starting from a regular ear piercing I highly recommend getting those 2 sets to save yourself some pain and potential damage. It's a very cost friendly step to save your ears! I'll put a link for what I bought. Otherwise, the quality seems very good on these. I wanted steel because it seemed much more smooth than acrylic and better for sensitive skin. I saw no bends or blemishes of any kind. No O rings missing. This is the way to go if you're ready to stretch.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Tapers-White-Acrylic-Taper-with-Double-O-rings-14G-1-6mm-12G-2mm-10G-2-5mm-8G-3mm-6G-4mm-4G-5mm-2G-6mm-0G-8mm-00G-10mm-Choose-your-size/dp/B0091JECUU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Tapers White Acrylic Taper with Double O-rings 14G (1.6mm), 12G (2mm), 10G (2.5mm), 8G (3mm), 6G (4mm), 4G (5mm), 2G (6mm), 0G (8mm), 00G (10mm) - Choose your size</a><a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Acrylic-Neon-Taper-Purple-16G-Sold-as-a-Pair/dp/B003RDAXJU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Acrylic Neon Taper - Purple - 16G - Sold as a Pair</a>
