I'm not so sure if this is the section in the forum to post this,

But I'm just wondering if any of you guys know what size I should start with && if you have any tips o:
&& well it's kind of obvious now, but I'm considering on stretching my earlobes c: not too much tho LOL


I've waited a month to go from a 8g to a 6g, but my body wasn't ready for it yet so it bled a little.
Even tho it's not as bad as those blowouts & such, do you guys have any suggestion on how to heal it & how long should I wait til my next stretch?
(I'm considering on waiting 2 more months before stretching them again)

If I were you, I would start with a 14g, because regular earrings are 16g, and just work yourself bigger from there. The largest you can go without losing the ability for your ears to unstretch is 0g, so I wouldn't go past there.

Thank you for replying && for the advice c:
&& Yeah, I'm not going to get higher than 4g stretched earlobes. I'd be needing my normal ear piercing size later on in life, just in case LOL

Regular earrings are about 20g, not 16g.
I have one ear gauged to 16g and one ear is 14g.
I suggest you start with 16g, get use to it for a week, then move up to 14g, ect...
This will be less painful on your part.

Hun, to be honest, I just got the actual gauged earrings I wanted and shoved them in there. Nothing is good for sensitive skin. You just have to bite your shirt while you do it. It'll throb at first, and the second day it'll still hurt a little, but by the end of the week, it'll be fine. So long as there is no bleeding (which doesn't normally happen unless you're new to pierced ears), you'll be alright.

my sad, sorry, selfish cry out to the cutter,
i'm cutting, trying to picture your black, broken heart.




GO SLOW.
and DO NOT use alcohol.
it will ruin your piercing.

i went up way too fast and now my left earlobe is super thin.




...love is not like anything,
especially a ******** knife.

I started with 16g.
If you are good with pain tolerance than I think you could handle 14g.
And always wait at least 3 weeks before you move up in size.
Better safe than sorry.

Yes, we don't want to have blow outs.
Those aren't very nice.
