Hi all,
I got my lobes pierced about 6 years ago at the mall with a piercing gun, so I assume that my current size is either an 18 or 20 gauge.
I have a pair of 2.0-mm rings that I want to use, so I'm looking to stretch slightly.
Is it a bad idea to go straight to 12 gauge using tapers? I know they suggest you only go 1 size at a time (2 if you're using smaller gauges), but the smallest taper the shoppe had available was a 14-gauge, so I just got the 12-gauge taper.
Should I go for the 14-gauge first, or do you think the 12-gauge would be safe to stretch to initially? 12-gauge really isn't that big, but I wanted to check.
