Can you skip sizes ?

[milolvs_blinks]

not to long ago (4 days), i stretched my right ear which was originally a 20g down to an 8G, nothing bad happened. however, since today i have pierced my left ear, because i need to catch it up with my right ear. (laugh it up ) so my question is, it okay to skip to an 8g like i did before,since my other ear reacted fine. It wont be for about a month till i do the stretch.

Dude you should be fine. I don't think it matters the time difference in putting them in.

Well, coming from me... I've skipped many sizes. It really all depends on how elastic your skin is, and how much it can handle. Now when it comes down to healing issues and stuff, it's not that good to drastically jump sizes, if you do that you will end up causing tearing, which might cause and infection if not treated properly. (This can also cause scare tissue which will make it harder to stretch in the long run). It's all up to you though! Happy stretching!

If you want healthy lobes, go one size at a time. If you don't care about the possibility of blowouts or just ugly lobes in general, go ahead and skip.

I went from peirced ears to a 10, 8 , 6, 4 (tore my left earlobe =((-), 2 and then now 00.. =)) Skipped a few but for the most part I didn't want my ear to tear again so I waited a while at 2 lololol.
