Dermal punches aren't for lobes unless you have a REALLY serious scar tissue problem. Punches remove tissue that you'll need later. Large-gauge piercings are a much better option because they don't remove any tissue.
And yeah, definitely wait at least 6 months after getting pierced before you start stretching. Good luck!
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
