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.

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

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

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
