Anyway, I think that anything under 14 mm look ridiculous in ear stretching : at this point you can just have big earrings and it will look the same, haha.
When I had "normal" earrings they were constantly irritating my ears and my gunned piercings never healed. When I finally got pierced properly and with 10G needles I could wear glass and other materials that finally felt comfortable in my lobes. And plus I HATE the look of teeny tiny 20G earrings... they just look like they're slicing through flesh.
I don't plan on stretching past 0G... I love stretched lobes on other people but as I plan on being a Spanish teacher in a few years it's just not practical for me. Plus I can live with the idea of having 0G holes for the rest of my life; there are way more options for jewelry than big sizes. I really love hanging designs but don't like the way they look above 0G.
Anyway, I really like the way 1/2" lobes look on anyone. But it really just depends on the person... my tattoo artist's lobes are probably at an inch and a half and they look awesome on him; they're nice and healthy too. I just think whatever size you're comfortable with is the size that's right for you.
