Are you happy with the placement of the piercings you have now? A lot of times gunned piercings come out uneven or are actually crooked in your ear, which you don't want for stretching. If they ARE even and you think the placement will work for stretching, you could stretch the gunned holes, but you'll have to start at very tiny sizes. I recommend just getting them redone by a professional with needles, and you could start at a larger size like 14G, or even 8G-6G if you wanted.
Here's a picture of my ear at 10G, the size I was initially pierced with. I've always been very happy with my placement. If they look uneven at all it's because my right lobe is naturally a lot fatter than my left:

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!
