I got my ears pierced at Ardenes (I know, bad start) with a gun a week ago. So I've got 18G holes right now. Because it was Ardenes, the studs look like shit. I have some 16G ones that would look way better, but I obviously don't want to mess the piercing up. The piercing seems to be healing nicely, no scar tissue or anything.
I plan to go to about a 6G, so I want to start stretching when its time, but I wanted to know when I could go to the 16G and keep it there until it would be adequate time to go bigger.
Thanks for any help.
