But the thing is, stretching shouldn't be painful. Why don't you just do the stretches yourself? And why can't you just go one size at a time?
Also, the ear piercing solution is crap. People who pierce ears with guns and give out that solution are not professionals. The best way to care for a piercing is to soak it in a solution of 1/4 teaspoon sea salt per one cup hot water for 5-10 minutes each day. This actually promotes healing because salt is already in your body, it does't contain a bunch of harsh chemicals that just kill everything in sight like cleaning solutions, peroxide, soaps, etc.
I'm going to be a teacher too, but I'll be stretching to 00G next week. I probably won't go bigger, but I might. I waited until I was 18 to even have my ears pierced and I took over two years to get to my current size. I know you say you're only going to 4G but you never know; most people do end up going beyond their original goal size.
Utlimately, it's up to you what you do to your body, but you are being offered some GOOD advice and I promise you will have better results if you take it than if you don't.
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!
