The next size after 00G is 7/16" so i would recommend using tape to add such a small measurement for the stretch. Nick, make sure your gauge is fully healed to that 00G before you stretch again.

Just remember to be careful and if you feel any abnormalities when you stretch, i.e. ripping, too much pressure, etc., quit immediately.

Make sure that your ears are fully healed though!
