^ She's right. I mean, some people do shrink their lobes, but it should always be seen as a permanant modification.
Also, people who have a harder time stretching probably will have less chance of shrinking their holes because their skin isn't as elastic. Another thing that can keep ears from shrinking is scar tissue, and if you skip sizes or stretch too fast. But yeah, at any size it can be permanant. 4G isn't going to give you a huge, gaping hole or anything though.
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!
