Is it good to get your ear pierced at 8g?

I'm thinking about piercing my ear at 8g (3mm) while my other one fully heal's, as it closed up:(

I was pierced at 10g and I don't regret it one bit. It's quick and relatively painless. I see no reason not to. : )

Pericings:
2g Lobes

^ Exact same thing with me, haha. I was pierced at 10G too. I had the option of 8G and I kind of wish I had gone for that instead! In my opinion it's the best option if you KNOW you want to stretch and don't want to worry about tiny sizes. Just make sure you wait about 6 months after the initial piercing before you stretch, and find a really good piercer!
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!
