  1. I started at a 16. Which is almost the size of a normal earring. Then I went to a 14, a 12, and a 10 (sizes go down in number as they get higher)

    It doesn't hurt as long as you don't skip a size. It feels a little warm for a couple seconds, like when you get your ears pierced, but that's all.

    Yes, you can have two next to each other if you keep them small. But make sure you keep them small or you will stretch your skin too much and there is a possibility of it ripping, which, um, wouldn't be pleasant I'm sure.

    Yes, you can keep them whatever size you want, They don't stretch on their own.  




  2. if you think about it this way if they hurt getting done why would thousands of peopple have them??

    wait you want your ears done??? umm its called a reg sized ear ring for the smallest size i dont think you can get any smaller than that

  3. welps im not completely sure, but a friend of mine got into gauges last year.  the smallest is an 18 and the next smallest would be a 16.  an 18 is just slightly bigger than a regular earring.  you don't really start seeing through your hole in your ear until you get into the single digits.  the smaller the number the bigger the gauge.  you can keep the gauge small if you want to.  if your ear is already pierced then you just force the gauge in the ear...but if you were to have non pierced ears they can pierce them then gauge them..or you can get them gauged first, which essentially is just a bigger hole.  

  4. You do not have to keep gauging if you start, you can stop whenever you'd like. A normal ear piercing is 18g or 16g. After 16g it's 14g then 12g then 10g then 8g then 6g then 4g then 2g then 0g then 00g and the list goes on. You can gauge basically any piercing hole, (not that you would want to) but since you asked yes you can pierce your seconds earing hole. It hurts to a lot of people I'm not going to lie. Nobody really notices small plugs anyways. But good luck.  

  5. Gauges are just the name for the SIZE.  A normal ear piercing is a 20 or 18 gauge.  So technically speaking you DO have the smallest gauge if you have your ears pierced.  You can taper them up little by little or just got up a size every time.  Go from an 18g to a 16, then a 14, then 12, 10, 8, etc etc.

    You can keep your ears whatever size you want.

  6. I think the smallest gage you can get is a 22 or a 24 they noremally pierce your ear with a 16 gage, And to get it larger you age it out you just keep going up to the next gage if you start at a 16 and you want bigger go to a 14 wait for that to heal completeley then go to a 12 then so on ....... And no after they are gaged and healed they will never go back to the size. And yes it does hurt to have them gaged its not to bad it all depends on your tolerance to pain. And if you have a secong hole you cant gage both of them if there side be side  you have one liitle piece of skin bettwen the two holes and it would look gross so i hope this hepled ya :)
