^ Same. Small sizes are very important because they set the foundation for your whole stretching journey. If you build up scar tissue at tiny sizes, you're gonna have a hard time stretching. Even though the stretches seem tiny (only a fraction of a millimeter for most stretches), you have to think about them as a percentage of the actual hole. 18G is 1mm, 12G is 2mm, and it doesn't sound like much of a difference but you're making the hole twice as big. It would almost be like skipping from 6G to 0G.
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!
