Re: help im new

downsize to the smaller size on the cracked lobe (several sizes down), treat it like a new piercing until its fully healed (sea salt soaks, vitamin e oil massages and NO silicone) and then try again. as a rule of thumb, silicone is bad unless your ears are fully healed for a very long time. they harbor bacteria and if your ears aren't healed can fuse to your skin. hope this helps!!

Agreed. Also avoid wearing silicone long-term because it can dry out your lobes pretty badly. I don't usually wear silicone for more than a few days. Try glass, titanium, or at least steel.
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!
