Uneven piercing and Gauges?

[critik]

Ok so I pierced my own ear with a 18g And Well 1 well the 1 that I think is uneven seems to be uneven slightly just by a tad bit maybe a MM not even And what I mean is its lower then the other one.. But I want to know if it will become more noticeable or not noticeable over the time Of stretching my ear. Maybe im just freaking out?

If you're really unhappy with the placement, I wouldn't go ahead with the stretching. It's really difficult to get lobe piercings even when you do them yourself, so I'd recommend going to a professional. You could get pierced at 10G or even higher; make sure you wait five or six months after the piercing to start stretching though.

I second that. I would let the uneven one heal up. Nip it in the butt while it is still an 'easy fix'

Ok but what if i say it aint the front hole thats uneven its where it came out the back of the ear would that make a difference at all?

Or you know I could Get them to about a 10 or 8 or w/e then down size onefor a while then stick the 8 back in and it wont be as stretched. I mean its barely uneven it aint the earings really its just one of the ear lobes is more rounder then the other but they look pretty even from side to side

I don't really get what you're saying in the last post... like downsize and then skip to 8? Don't do that...
If one side of the hole is lower than the other that's probably going to create a problem for stretching. A lot of people have that issue with gunned piercings and it ends up getting pretty annoying. To be honest I think you'd be much happier with your stretches if you got re-pierced by a professional. And like I said you could even get them done at 10G/8G.

Yeah, I also am not really sure what you are talking about but I agree with corazon yet again. Downsizing wont change the fact that you have a crooked piercing.
If you are unhappy with the piercing placement let it heal up, do vitamin e oil massages to break the scar tissue down and pierce it again. You could just let them both heal up and go to a professional and have them pierced at a higher gauge.
