Are my ears big enough to start stretching?

I want to stretch my ears, but I want to make sure they are big enough. I wouldn't want to go past 00g("Generally" the point of no return correct?). Here is a picture, hopefully someone could tell me if they are big enough or not.

Hey there, i think they are, yes you do have small ears and if you wanted to give the impression they were bigger you could think of going a few sizes bigger then 00g. If not then i think 0g would be enough on you . Good luck

you've got plenty of room! take care of your ears you could go very big with them

also, there is no such thing as a "point of no return". stretching is a permanent body modification. not wearing jewelry for a long time will make your ears shrink, but they will never go back to "normal"

Thanks for the replies! Looks like I'll be getting them pierced soon enough then :). I'll be sure to check in when I need help with moving up. Quick question, How long after having my ears pierced should I wait to move up? About a month or so? Or should I wait longer? And after that its 6-8 weeks in between gauges?

yes, and you can get them pierced at a larger size (up to a size 2g in some places!) and that will save a considerable amount of time.

whatever size you start at, make to sure to wait at least 6 months before beginning to stretch. this will not only allow your ear heal, but to also to strengthen up and become stronger and healthier :)

and then yes, 6-8 weeks minimum for the rest of your stretches. the longer you wait, the healthier your lobes will be :)

good luck!
