I'm thinking about stretching my ears, but i don't know what size to start out with. would it be bad if i started out with an 8 gauge?

Specializes in Psychiatry

Not healthy: I will start by asking you to consider gauging in the context of the health problems that can result from gauging. A 16-gauge or 18-gauge needle is often used for an initial piercing for ear gauging.
