That's fine. I was talking about a 6g stretch. If your ears aren't ready, you will hurt yourself. You said your ears shrunk down. If that is the case, DO NOT stretch to 6g. Your loves will tear, leaving scarring and making it far more difficult to stretch up to any size in the future, including 4g. Forget about 0g.
Since Lindsay just posted before this one went up, please consider this another perspective on the same statement.
