Does anyone have ear gauges?

How big do they start?
I kind of want to get them.not super big ones,though.
I dont know the sizes,or understand them,but what size should I get If I were to try them?

I started out with a 14 then I got bored and went to 00
00 is the normal size you will find, not huge but just big enough to be able to stick a pen through it:D

I use to have them... then I decided to take them out because my ear got really swollen since it was pierced too low on my ear lobe. The smaller the width of the earring, the higher the gauge will be. I think the smallest you can possibly get is a 20g which is the size of regular earrings. Some people then go to to a 18g which is the size of earring studs (if you got your ears pierced professionally) I started with a 16g. It really doesn't hurt much at all to put those in... I suggest waiting at least 3 days after you put those in... then it goes to a 14g, to a 12g, to a 10g, and so on. Always in even numbers. If you want ones that are just kinda big I would suggest going to an 8. You will just barley be able to fit the tip of your pinkie through that hole. The biggest I know of is a OO (double zero). The bigger they get (even if you have left the previous size in for a long time) the more they will hurt when you put them each time. You will probably have to force them in when you go up in size. Don't change them if they still hurt... wait until they are completely healed until you switch pairs. If you have anymore questions, feel free to funmail me! Good luck!

start small..because it hurts bad..lol..I say start w. a 14 g..and go down..I suggest to go a different size once your ear healz from each time you stretch it out..because what would happen to me it like almost get infected and it hurt really bad..so yea...have fun!

I have 2s in my ears...my boyfriend has 00. After 00 you can go to inches.

I dunno but if you get them let me know how bad it hurts!! I want to get some so bad, I'll like the smaller ones, they are so cute!! but just a heads up, they are really hard to pull off, you'll either look really cute or totally retarded... there isn't much middle ground. haha

I started with 10g and now I have 00 and it doesnt hurt to bad it burns and your ear gets sore but thats about it and yeah you will see 00 a lot its not to big but big enough
