It will probably get infected really badly.
18 wouldn't be a big difference, but if the piercing is new, and not healed, then it will cause some pain.
Also if you decide to wear those normal earrings, that most people wear in their bottom lobes, then be sure to clean your ear a lot (after it's healed)
strictlyrouge answered Sunday March 2 2008, 9:12 pm: First of all, if you just got it done 2 weeks ago, please don't touch it. Peircings take about 2 months to calm down, and trying to take it out and put in another one now will result in pain, and possibly an infection. Wait at least a couple months before you put a new ring in.
Secondly, if it's a cartilage peircing, and you're trying to change the gauge yourself with a ring 2 weeks after getting it done, it's going to hurt A LOT. Cartilage is like bone, and the best way you can increase your gauge is by having it done by a professional. It will hurt like the dickens if you try to do it yourself. (I think professionals use hollowed-out or at least larger needles... i dont know because I didn't look when I was having mine done). [ strictlyrouge's advice column | Ask strictlyrouge A Question ]
