If you are sure you want to stretch them I'd actually suggest getting pierced at a larger size like ast.riske explained. You do need to wait about six months after the initial piercing to do your first stretch, but if you're pierced at a larger size the waiting will cancel out because you won't have to worry about tiny sizes. I was pierced at 10G and I'm really glad I was!
Also, just a piece of advice: if you get pierced at a larger size, try to get them to put plugs or barbells in instead of rings if they have them. My piercer only had rings and they wouldn't heal at all until I changed them to plugs.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
