I've heard that anything over 8mm is going tho be permanent. Someone else told me the width of a pencil (which is 7mm).
Does anyone know? Does it depend on how they were stretched? Does it depend on your tissue type? What's the dilly yo?

The simple answer is that it's different for everyone. You really shouldn't stretch if you're not at least semi-comfortable with the idea of the holes being there forever. For most people it's around 6, 7, or 8mm. Some people can go up to 5/8"+ and end up with a tiny 14G hole when they decide to leave their jewelry out, but others will stretch to 6G and not be able to shrink their lobes.
You'll have the best chance of them shrinking if you take good care of them and stretch very slowly, but there's still no way to guarantee anything.

Everyone's body heals differently. The point of no return is around 2g-00g, but like corazon said it can be different for everyone. Don't rush the stretching process and that might help.
