so ive put in a 2g coming from 18g i know stupid but w.e everything is fine and my ears are super healthy. Since they are so healthy im wondering is i should go for the 0g? when i did it i used neosporin to loob my ear and the taper and it just went in with little pain so im guessing a 0g shouldnt be too hard..

2G-0G is a pretty big jump, so you might want to try 1G jewelry in between or use tape to gradually reach 0G. Of course, I'd usually recommend that someone who skipped so many sizes just take it out and start over but you don't seem like you're going to do that, haha. Also, it would be a good idea for you to start doing massages with vitamin E oil or some other oil to break down scar tissue once your lobes are healed. I can almost guarantee that skipping so many sizes is going to make it pretty hard for you to stretch in the future because of scarring.

18g to 2g is more than a little bit stupid, lets be honest it's just downright dangerous. The sheer amount of stress that would put on your body is... unfathomable. But that aside, considering you seem to be fine I would say you would probably be fine to just fire the 0g in straight away. Just, for the love of god, be more careful from now on. I'm very surprised that your ear didn't just split the whole way down the lobe. :/
