As a man in my fifties I finally got my ears pierced last year. Regular earrings for 1 year after healed. 18g clicker hoops 2 months. Currently 16g titanium clicker hoops (12mm diameter) about 7 weeks. They are not quite ready for 14g just yet. I’ve decided to relax about the whole need to move to next size and will just sit at 16g for 6 months or so. I sleep with them in. Take them out to shower. Sleep on one of those neck pillows (memory foam) which I prefer to a regular pillow anyhow.
In my left ear I have an 11mm (7/16) and in my right I have a 10mm (00g). I’m started taping at 8g when I was having trouble getting in the 6g. I also got 7g and 1g for the harder stretches. I also got a 9mm in between 8mm and 10mm. It took me a little over a year to get here. I also am stretching my back holes and those are both at an 8g. I’m trying to have my back ones at 4g (5mm) and the front at 9/16 (14mm). So I’m almost at my goals!
I’m at 38mm. I started stretching when I was around 15/16 and I’m currently 23. I would constantly change goal size just to see how big I could really push it and that’s how I got to 38mm
I went from an old, very well established standard piercing to 11mm in a year. I dead stretched in 0.5mm increments and my ears look really good.
They are resting here for now, but I’d love to go bigger. 7/8" maybe.
I am currently at a 2g, it took me almost a year to get here and it has been 7months since I stretched to a 2g (still not ready to stretch to a 1g)
