Gauges-stretching-whatever!

wow I didnt really know I was going to be grilled, lol I know that it is referred as stretching, I just didn’t know you guys were going to blow me out of the water with calling it gauging haha. okay well obviously I wasn’t clear so, what I was really asking, was that I am planning to continue “stretching” to 3/4 gauge, im already 5/8, I’ve never skipped any sizes, and I’ve always put weeks between sizing up because im serious about stretching. & I know that they aren’t going to completely close up if I decide to let them go, but will they shrink at all if im already this big? I just want this for future reff :] <3

Yes. Your ears will close back up to a fairly small size. They wont just stay at a 3/4 and be all dangly and gross. The bigger you go, the harder it will be to get them back down to a small size. If I were you, I’d go to a 3/4 and not go any bigger. 3/4 would be my limit, no doubt.

But hey, you can go ahead and do whatever you like. :) Just study up on Google and other sites and talk to people in person about their experiences.
