im currently at 6mm 2g and have some 0g 8mm tunnels and tapper ready to go in. starting to get pretty big! just wonna know if my lobe will heal back up? because i know i will not want tunnels forever!! i have taken my time stretching it has never hurt (i only slightly irritated my left lobe when going to 4mm) but my right has been fine.
when he time comes to heal should i just slowly go back down in size say chuck in the old 6mm i have for a month then the 5s then 4s etc?
any help would be very much appreciated!

Re: 0g (8mm) will it heal back?
There's no way to tell you for sure. There's no way even to tell you that 2G will shrink, because everybody is different. Honestly, if you KNOW you won't want stretched ears forever, you shouldn't have stretched, because there's always that possibility. Even at small sizes. I'm at 0G and I know they're not going to shrink because when I downsized back to 2G the left ear pretty much stayed at 0.
Also, I would highly recommend going to 1G before 0G, because 2-0 is a 2mm jump which is pretty painful and difficult for most people. And going slowly will improve your chances of your lobes shrinking.

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!

Re: 0g (8mm) will it heal back?
hey cheers for the info!
im pretty confident that ill be able to heal up my 2g stretches. if i take them out and have a hot shower they shrink up straight away, cant see through them and its hard to get my tunels back in.
you are right about going to 1g first! tried with the 0g tunnel. was no where near gtn through and it was starting to feel pretty tight. would probs do damage if i pushed it through making it harder for them to heal... might just stay at 2g for a lil longer.
