10 g is as far as most experianced professional piercers will go, however there are some less experianced piercers who will go bigger to start with it's dependant on the client and the piercers skills.

I would say start with a 14 or 12 , I am now at a 4 . Whatever you do ; DO NOT skip sizes as I did . My ears will never be the same they are really stretched out & hurt . Stop using tapers ( the really long gauges ) when you get to a size 6 if not you can make your ear stay a certain way & most of the time needs to be surgically put back into places but still the surgery makes your ear look horrible . Good luck!

--Try a 14 first. You can find tapers at that size. If that's tight, just buy some 16ga studs or ring and wear that for a month then try 14ga again. Go up a size every 2-3 months. Stretching should NEVER HURT. if it does, give your ears more time.

Any time you go over an inch it's going to be touch and go as to whether the piercing will return to normal, some do some don't.

I think the largest size a professional can pierce you with is a 2g. If already pierced, start from there and don't skip sizes or else you risk damaging your ears.

How do you stretch your ear?

Stretching your ear for 'spacers' or 'plugs' is a time consuming development. You can now buy 'stretchers' from most piercing salons. They look like a spiral that starts small in diameter and gets thicker towards the end of the spiral. The idea with this is to start with stretching your ear with perhaps half a dozen 'sleepers' (round earings) until the hole is big enoguh to start using the stretcher. Once you have the stretcher on over time you gradually push it further and further down the spiral and it opens the hole up. If you decide to get BIG spacers remember once they are veyr big they will not shrink back to normal if you change your mind in a couple of years. AND!!! ALWAYS keep them clean. people can smell them if they are unkept.

First you look directly at a mirrior and notice where the holes for your earrring are next you take the front of the earring with the design and slide it throught the hole after that you put the post in the back end of the front earring and dont slide it in all the way! YOU JUST PUT IN YOUR EARRINGS!
