Yes, but depending on your ear type as everyones body is different. But if you're asking this planning on going up I'd saay any further than a 10mm is the point of 'no return'.
It is possible to stretch your ear to 10mm in 6 months even if you're only starting. Be sure to stretch it gradually and carefully and stop if an infection or persistent pain results.
Fairly sure its 10mm
Ear gauges can indeed close. I have head several stories about peoples' ear gauges closing over time, some even being near size 00. Ear gauges can close over time if you don't wear a plug or tunnel in it. If the gauge is small, it will take less time for it to close, unlike BIG gauges - which could take around 2 months. One secret is to rub hemerroid cream on your ears about twice a day first your ears will swell but later when your lobes go back to normal the holes will be smaller. However, if your ears were gauged above a 00, they will never close entirely without surgery, which currently runs about $800 an ear.
It will expand to fit the ear to close all inputs
why not !!
No, Its fine when its only under 10mm... anything over... ( then i guess so)yeah, if its under 10mm... i think lasses look beautiful! As being a lass with 2mm ear stretcher in my right lobe.. i think it appeals more to thosee indie,mosher guys and if that's your "type" laddiiess then i say go for it babahs'!
The little bump on the outside of the ear that when pressed closes the ear is called the tragus. It helps to protect the ear canal and is involved in directing sound into the ear.
yes you can
No symbolism what so ever.
It is hard to hear because the ear is not sealed quite yet, which means it is close to the part your ear hears with.
No, I have not experienced a traditional Japanese ear cleaning service.
Unfortunately there's no definitive answer, the speed with which your lobes will close up and the size they will be when they're done depends on you and, to some extent, how long you've had them stretched. For many people anything under 10mm will shrink back to a 'regular' piercing size, say 1-2mm if you give it time.
