Standard piercings are 16g, meaning you start at a 14 gauge taper. Change the taper to a plug or a tunnel (at low gauges most are curved barbells though) immediately after.

Always wait at least 2 weeks before stretching.

Same process, start with a taper and go to a tunnel, plug, or barbell.

18 g = 1.0mm

16g = 1.2mm

14g = 1.6mm

12g = 2mm

10g = 2.4mm

8g = 3.2mm

6g = 4mm

4g = 5mm

2g = 6mm

0g = 8mm

00g = 10mm

000g = 11mm

0000g = 12mm.

It goes higher, but I don't recommend it.

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.
