Re: Ripped
Downsize/take them out and start doing sea salt soaks. Use 1/8-1/4 teaspoon of sea salt per one cup of hot water (it's really important to not get it too salty!) and soak for 5-10 minutes once or twice a day. After they're healed, start doing some oil massages to break down scar tissue and wait a long time before stretching again.
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!

Re: Ripped
If you ripped your ear, you need to downsize.
If you don't, scar tissue will form between the two sides of the rip, and make it harder for you to stretch in the future. Taking the pressure off the rip by downsizing will make it heal back together properly and reduce scar tissue.

Re: Ripped
If you want it to close, you definitely need to downsize. Scarred up lobe holes are much less likely to close up no matter how small the hole is.
2g lobes, want to be 0g
