That is a rather indirect question you have there. It all depends on the area that you are stretching. If you are speaking of cartilage, then I would advise that you go slowly and don't overdo it because it has a very common tendency to "bunch up" as it were on the back of the ear and looks like a bit of a keloid, which isn't very attractive. If you were to want a large gauge in cartilage than the best route to go is to have a mod artist use a dermal punch, but do keep in mind that the cartilage DOESN'T regrow, so the hole that you get will be the hole that you are stuck with.

Can you stretch your earlobe piercing from a normal starter stud to a flesh tunnel?

It is dangerous to stretch this quickly because it can cause the skin to tear. You should use tapers to slowly stretch the hole to the size of the tunnel you want. You should be able to get tapers from a body piercing shop. Remember to only stretch from one gauge to the next largest, rather than skipping a size, as this can cause tears and scarring.
