I want to gauge my ears but i have no clue...help!?

ok, so if you have a normal piercing, then start of with a 12 or 14 taper(the pointy needle looking ones). then from there you go up a size, meaning the number will get smaller. if you dont rush it, you should probable leave each size in for about 3-5 weeks, then you can go up a size, down a number. just keep on going up a size until you get to the size you want. uhm. and if you go past a 0, then you will be at a point of no return, anything less than that and you can go back to normal over a long amount of time. i have gauges, adn i should warn you it will smell lol, and you should get some antibiotic ear cleaning stuff becasue sometimes your ears wont want to be stretched and they will crack and scaba dn maybe bleed, but yea, good luck :) and if they do scab, then just keep cleaning your ears, because if you take them out you will have to go back to normal.
