If you don't like how it looks, that is all that matters.

Hey that's the naturel look of bigger gauges. Thats like people that are panicking at 3/4 because their lobes are not as thick as they were at 00g. Yes they will become closer to your face and its normal, thats what we call ears stretching.

lol its chill, my ears were way thinner at 3/4 an i have a decent amount of lobe at 1 inch. Just use tape =D. an thats called the dumbo effect, like megalo said its normal as u stretch bigger. Just wear heavier jewlery an they wont stick out as much. Mine stick out alot but i like how it looks. good luck an happy stretching.
