Well, honestly, most lobe piercings won't even be fully healed in six weeks. I know a lot of people say six weeks, but that's usually the minimum. It usually takes about 8-12 weeks for them to heal.
If you stretch too soon, you risk blowouts, scar tissue, and tearing. When it's all said and done you'll probably end up with wrinkly lobes or a blowout that won't go away. If you get lucky and those things don't happen, at the very least it's going to be very painful! However, if you want to risk it that's up to you. Damage won't be as noticeable at small sizes but it can still happen. Also, if you DO change your mind you might have a harder time stretching bigger.
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!
