Is bleeding during cartilage piercing normal?
A little bleeding is to be expected with cartilage piercings, the incision in the cartilage needs to be larger than the jewellery gauge going into the piercing, this is to allow the skin to heal between the jewellery and the cartilage. Excessive bleeding is an indication your piercer didn't candle the cartilage before doing the piercing to see where the veins are located on both sides of the cartilage.

Can you stretch your 5 month industrial piercing to a 14 gauge from a 16?
No. Let's understand the body before we go doing anything. Cartilage is not an elastic tissue like skin, it is a frame work that holds the tissue in place but doesn't stretch, it tears. You can not taper a 16g cartilage piercing to 14g without doing damage to the cartilage and the piercing. Regardless of what some folks will say, cartilage doesn't stretch like regular ear lobes do, so if you want a higher gauge you need to consider repiercing. You may be able to get a 14 into a 16 hole but it will be very sore and very painful in the long run, hardly worth the pain and effort.
