As for now I know i wanna go for 00g or 1/2.
Wait you can pierce at an 8g? How does that work?
sorry for my ignorance.

Yes you can be pierced at 8g, I believe I've even heard of 6g piercing needles before, it all depends on what your piercer has. The way it works is instead of a small 20g or 18g needle they use a larger sized needle and pierce. If you don't already have an existing piercing then this is the way to go. If you are already pierced, just stretch up. The larger sized piercing doesn't affect heal time either. After a 18g piercing or a 8g piercing you still need to wait 6 months or so before starting to stretch.

Wait so I'd have to wait 6 months or so for a normal piercing too?

If you don't already have a piercing, yes. If you have an existing piercing, and have had it for more than 6 months no.

Okay. Thanks for the info.
it's greatly appreciated.

Sorry to keep asking questions. If anyone still looks in here.
This is just sort of a random question, with freshly pierced ears can i wear a beanie covering most of the ear or covering the entire ear?
Also, would stainless steel non-flared or single flared tunnels be good to start off with?
Thanks in advance.

On the beanie it would be fine as long as you don't agitate the fresh piercing much. Steel plugs, single or no flare, are great for fresh piercings.

first, u can stretch with tape at tiny sizes, i did it from 8g to 6g. 2nd, wearing tapers is fine when ur at baby sizes, once u hit 0g i wouldnt recomend wearin them cuz its hard to sleep. *wearing tapers is only hazard if u scrap alot or wrestle or sum shit where u get hit alot. normally, they are fine to wear. But seriously tapers are good for stretching up until 0g then taping is better for u. I would use steel jewelry, it will keep the infections at a minimum, an a can of H2 ocean is a must. =D good luck an happy stretching
