how big can you strech your ears and them still close up?

[HanaPIE]

i've currently got a 10mm (not sure what this is in gauges!) and im bored of it so i'm planning to go bigger
thing is i know when im older i'll probably want to take it out and let it heal back to a tiny hole
ive heard 10mm is the biggest you can go to as it will close up
is this true???

2g ( 6mm ) - 0g ( 8mm ) - 00g ( 10mm) is considered as the "no turning back". There's not precise size, I guess it depends on everybody's body.

[ericawinship]

it depends on your body, i have a friend that can go allll the wayy back down from 3/4ths

[meegs654]

Yeah it really just depends on the person. Some people have a hole you can see through at 10g that will not heal up. A big part of sizing down is how well you took care of your ears while sizing up.

Yep.. if you stretched correctly and gave your ears the right amount of time to heal before going to the next size, this will def help, if you decide to down size.. but then again everyones body is different

Hey I'm at 10mm and I'm joining the navy I got creamed about it at the carreer office today any chance they could get back down to a regular peircing size again

[ericawinship]

Yeah there is still a chance and if they dot go alll the way back down atleast they can shink to a smaller size good luck!

Erica is now doing an experiment with her ears and how the point of no return is affected. This will be interesting

ok... so im at nine sixteenths now and i when i was gauging my ears up to this size i think i had a blwo out... will it heal if i never took the jewelry out??? and is it gonna cause problems later on in my gauging???

the blowout probably wont completely go away. vita e oil and jojoba oil massages will help reduce the blowout. it shouldnt cause alot of problems but it might be Little more resistant to stretching
