Which hole should I stretch? Advice please.

Okay, so I have two lobe piercings and I am unsure which one to stretch. I'd rather go with the lower one, but is it too low on my lobe? This photo is on a very slight angle, I couldn't quite take a photo so you could see them from front on. What's the chances of either hole tearing into the other one if I stretch? I only want to go to a 0g, so not "too" large.

I think the lower one would look better.

I agree the lower one will look better cosmetically, but if you are going to go to bigger sizes like 1" plus, I would say the top hole, because of the placement.

I see what you're saying, but I think the upper one would end up looking more uneven. It may have more thickness on the bottom but less on the side, ideally you want even thickness all around.

If you do decide to stretch larger than your current goal, at that point, you may decide there isn't enough thickness on the bottom for continued stretching. I would look into scalpelling.

Also a lot of thinness can be avoided entirely with careful slow stretching. You should be fine.

Thanks for your replies I'll go with the lower hole and see how I go. I appreciate your input.
