Hey guys, I got my ears pierced at an 8g about.. probably 14 weeks ago? I stretched it to a 6g I just dead stretched because the taper fell through my ear anyways, there was no bleeding, or pain of any sort.
I did the stretch after 8 weeks. Anyways, my right ear I was born with it a little bit abnormal i guess you could say. It's always been a bit thinner than my right one, and I am just worried about it splitting in half or something in the future. The piercer did his best to make them level. (meaning my left, and right ear) Anyways, there is more lobe obviously on my left ear. Well, I was thinking of downsizing back to an 8g in case it needs to thicken up.
But, it's strange.. my right ear (the thin one) already has a gap in, and it's only been stretched for almost 4 weeks. it falls forward and such. I just don't want this ear to become a problem in my future, I don't plan to go that big. I've heard some people can't go past a 2g because of their earlobe not having enough lobe.
My goal size is just either 00g, 7/16, or 1/2 inch. I'd really, really love it if I could go to a 7/16, and 1/2 inch is my limit. I am worried about the ear splitting in half. I will try to post the best pictures I can of the thin one, and then compare to the thicker one. I do vitamin e massages 3 times a day with both ears, and try to leave out the plugs for 5-10 minutes. (They haven't been stretched very long, so I'm scared of them closing.)
Tell me if I should downsize, or if I can even go to a 00g. I am willing to get it re pierced if I need to, but a professional did it at 8g with a needle, and he knew I wanted to stretch.
Right ear, the abnormal thin one.
