It's only bad if you get pierced with a gun, which you should never, ever do.
Start with an 18G or 16G and work your way up, one size at a time, from there. Wait at least 6 weeks between every stretch, use lube/oil, and make sure you stop and wait longer if you feel a lot of pain or resistance.
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!
