starting to stretch need help or advice

[oldasianlady]

i had my ears peirced 6 weeks ago at 20g or maybe 18g i cant tell but i went to hot topic which was the only place that sells gauges and i cant go online to buy em cause my mom wont let me get em so hot topic only had 14g and i thought that was fine so is it alright to go from 20g er 18g to 14g

No, definitely not. Not only would that be skipping a size or two, you've only have your ears pierced for 6 WEEKS, and from my guess, probably with a gun, not a needle. You need to wait 5-6 months before stretching at all, and you should not skip ANY sizes. Some people may get away with skipping, but that doesn't guarantee that YOU will.

No i used a needle and it turns out im either 18 or 16

Yea you should definitely wait until your piercing is FULLY healed and gradually start streching. It's hard to wait but you'll do alot of damage to your ears if you don't wait for the full healing process. Just stick it out and go slow!!
