Some piercers will pierce and stretch, others will just use that size of a needle. I know my piercer used to have 4G (5mm) needles but she stopped using them because she just didn't like piercing at that large of a size. They might use a 4mm needle and stretch but they really shouldn't be stretching it up more than one size.
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!
