Question

http://i38.tinypic.com/vesras.jpg

okay so i just gauged my ears to a size 18g which is 2 sizes bigger than a normal ear piercing.

how long should i wait to go to a 16g or 14g?

Answer 1

wait until it stops hurting

Answer 2

it's called "earlobe stretching". "gauge" is not supposed to be used in that context; it's a measurement, just like inches or centimeters.

and you should wait for at least 2 weeks for this size.

Answer 3

i usually wait a week or two depending how my ears are feeling

Answer 4

No..it's ONE size bigger.

Ears are pierced with a 20.

Gauge with a 12.

it wont hurt.you'll just get a warm sensation..

like when you first pierce your ears.

Answer 5

i say go straight to a 10.

i started with 8s, and that wasn't too bright.

haha..

skipping sizing isn't exactly smart.. but with the smaller sizes it shouldn't make too much of a difference..
