1/2 inch. Did small chunks every couple of years starting when I was 17. So it’s taken me 11 years 😂
00g and I skipped a few sizes each time so it didnt take but maybe 6 months with no issues and no ripping
I am gauged to 00g. (I don’t plan to go any larger) I actually started stretching my ears about 7 months ago! I have had a few infections, due to purchasing an inferior acrylic kit from China because it was cheaper (moral of the story-never purchase stuff for your ears just because it’s cheaper) (I have a mild sensitivity to acrylic-but the stuff I ordered was pretty awful-sharp jagged edges and all) I actually gauged my ears to take the focus off of a slight difference in my ears due to many surgeries! (I call it my Franken-ear-😆) I also have a sensitivity to many metals, so the appeal of all glass, all wood and all bone gauged had me totally sold! I am always looking for unique stuff for my ears!
I just started my journey I’m at an 8g/3mm I started stretching at the beginning of the year my ears were already 12g/2mm when I started so it’s gone quicker than expected.
I actually have two lobe piercings per ear and they are both currently stretched: the lower lobes are at 0g, and the second piercings I just went up to 8g from 10g so I can fit better plugs. I started stretching right before the start of last semester and I’m about halfway through this semester, so it’s been about seven months, tops. I’ve been at 10g for a few months and 0g for probably just over a month or two.
