well,right now im at a 2g in my left ear,and a very picky 4g in my right ear. i have very small ears,and ive been looking up sizes for a very.very.very long time.i wanna get to 5/8,but im not sure how big thatll be in my ears..i want about the size of my earlobe,like the first picture. the second picture is the best one i can find of my ears -_- but as you see they're very tiny.what size would be the size of my own ear lobes? any ideas? thanks alot.

and if you have any advice on how to stretch that one ear that always has the issues,please,feel free to give me some...advice....on that...

It's hard to tell in the picture of you earlobes :/

I'm assuming you have the 'attached earlobes'? On average that I have seen (and this is an average, not in ALL cases), people with smaller earlobes or attached earlobes can get anywhere from 2G-1/2". I would have a piercer look at it and have them give you their input. Ears are very unique and everyone's ears are different. You can always ask a professional modifications artist or a skin graph specialist as well.

The first picture is not her ear Mag.... and it's kind of difficult to see how the piercing sits in her earlobe with the hair in the way (where the earlobe connects to the body).

If you stretch slowly (about one size every 6-8 weeks or until you can stretch without any pain or resistance), there's no reason you can't get to the size you want. Also, massages with emu oil might help; it's pretty good for thickening lobes.

sorry,my cameras broken and its a really small memory card so i cant upload any recent pictures :\

but by attached ear lobes,so you mean when the complete lobe is attached to your neck?( thats the best i could describe it lol) if thats the case ,i dont,i can stick my fingers between my earlobe and my neck. i might repost this subject when im able to upload pictures again :\

Then you shouldn't have any problems, just go Slooow. I'm at 5/8" and I took my time with it because I wanted to do it right the first time and because I wanted to make sure it was something I really wanted.

People with attached earlobes can still stretch, you just need to take extra care with them so they don't get too thin.
