Generally, a regular ear lobe piercing is an 18 or 20 gauge, so the first size taper you should get would be a 16 gauge.

Should your ears burn for a long time when stretching them?
NEVER! If your ears are burning for any extended period of time SIZE BACK DOWN! Before you do serious damage to your lobes. When it burns like that, it means that you aren't ready to size up yet, and have possibly ripped your lobe too far.
Is it safe to stretch your ears when you have a blowout why or why not?
No. If you stretch with a blowout it will only get worse. Blowouts can get big, nasty, and painful. If they get big enough, they'll prevent you from stretching. Not to mention that they just look disgusting and other serious stretchers will know that you don't take care of your ears like you should. Just downsize a size or two, get your ear back to normal, and take your time stretching back up.
Say you had your ears pierced since you were born when you first stretch your ears what is the best plug size to start off with?
Well you are best to start off with 316 LVM captive bead rings in 14g and then once every 30 days stretch up (with the assistance of a professional body piercer) to the next gauge. Some piercing studios will set you up with a supervised stretching plan to ensure your ears get stretched properly and safely. This saves you time and money. The captive bead rings will help the stretch by adding a little weight from the bead. Call your local body piercing studio and ask if they have a stretching program.
Im stretching your ears how do you know im ready to go up a size?
the average wait time between stretching is 2-3 weeks. but just to be sure, take your earing out, if it's still reddish and irritated to touch/take out. you're not ready.
Do you really have to wait a month when stretching your ears?
Yes you should wait that long, tissue stretching takes time, too fast and you have a bleeding mess to deal with and piercings that wont go back down when you change your mind. I find it best to increase a size once I've rubbed my ear with lotion or taken a hot shower. It's not as painful.
What size comes after inch and half ear gauging?

It is really endless in stretching, but take your time. and clinical studies have proven tat in 98% of the time your ear will heal as long as you don't stretch past double zero gauge size
You went from a piercing to a 12 gage should it bleed?
When going up to a bigger size piece of jewelry, you have to make sure that you have been stretching slowly and allowing time to heal. Usually, if you've allowed time to heal there should be little to no amount of bleeding. The best way to do it (unless going into a shop and having the stretch your ears) is to go up size by size, allow a month (give or take) for healing and then stretch again.

What is the biggest size your ears can shrink to after guaging?
If done correctly (and most are never done right) you should be good to get up to "0) or "00" and still have the ear lobes shrink back to something about a 12g or 14g. But it needs to be done right. Research stretching before doing it and stick to the plan, no faster, regardless of what you think you can do.
