How big of a gauge can one put in an ear and have it close up again

Whats the biggest size of gauge that you can put in your ear but take out so that they will close up to normal size? I have a size two in which is about 6 mm. I just haven't tried to close them up yet.

... I don't think gauged ears CAN go back to normal size. like once you start, theres no turning back. and 2's are pretty dang big, sorry but I'm not sure they're just going to shrink back to like size 18. I've seen teens on tv who have to go under plastic surgery to fix their ear lobes because they no longer wanted their gauges..

I have streched mine to a 8 twice and it closes up just fine every time and it hurts less when you streach them again. my boyfriend had 0 in and his are closing up good you cant see though but you can tell they been gauged.

I have gauged my ears to an eight 3 times and they go back easy and my boyfriend had 0 in and he took them out and his whole is closing you cant see through it but you can tell they were gauged. if you want them to go back I wouldnt go past a 4 thats as big as im going. Good luck

My boyfriend said anything bigger than 0 is too much to guarantee that it will seal up again.

He's sticking with his 0s because of this, and I stopped at 4 because I'm a baby.
