Is a really dumb idea. You should always wait atleast 2 weeks between stretches and never skip ANY sizes. Youll end up blowing out your ear which down the road will look bad and could create problems not to mention it makes future stretches hurt more because of the scar tissue. Also always use some kind of lubricant when stretching ( no matter how small the stretch appears to be.

What size should you start gaging your ears at?
First, make sure your ears are completely healed. You can cause a lot of damage if they're not. Second, most ear piercings are either 18 or 20 gauge [20 gauge is rarer] so a 14 or 16 gauge is usually a good place to start although it is recommended to go in order [18, 16, 14, 12, 10...etc.] instead of skipping sizes [18 to 14] Skipping smaller gauges is less dangerous than skipping larger gauges and can be very painful later on [6 to 2] and near impossible to do safely.

Putting a 14 gauge barbell through a piercing the size that it was pierced at, around a 20-18 gauge, is not recommended because you will be skipping sizes. But if you can put it through with no pain or blood then your'e good to go. You cannot put it straight through without a prior piercing. If it has been pierced and completely healed and already stretched to 16 gauge, yes.

What are the names for the types of ear gauges?
Well the phrase "gauge" refers to the AWG "American Wire Gauge" which also applies to needle sizes used in medical and body piercing applications. They range from the smallest body piercing gauge of 18g all the way up to the largest being 00g. Now if you are in the US the sizes will be in "gauge" dimensions or in fractions of an inch. In Europe and the UK the sizes are in "gauge" dimensions or international scientific format which is millimeters. So when you are asking about ear gauges you are talking about nothing, there are no "ear gauges" this is a screw up with language and someone was too lazy to call them by the right name and has slurred the phrase "gauge" to mean a specific type of jewellery, which doesn't exist. The items for stretched ears would be tunnels, plugs, crescents or expanded ear lobe jewellery. The phrase "gauging" was misused to mean "stretching" ones ear lobes up a "gauge" larger than they currently have.
