i am getting ear gauges, and have questions.
I have been wanting to get gauges for my ears for a long time, but have never gotten them because I thought you had to have them done. I was recently told that if you have your ears pierced, you can do it yourself just have to work your way from a smaller gauge to a larger one. Is this true? If it is, do you know what gauge sizes are? Like what is the best size to start with?

i have gauges and i started with a 12, but if you have sensitive ears i suggest a 16, then every 2 weeks you can switch them. You don't get 'gauges done" you put them in yourself because it's not like you are chopping a hole out of your ear. You are simply just stretching the hole so all of your flesh is there. The next week you could put in a 14, then a 12, 10, 8,6,4,2,0,00, and so forth if oyu want to get any bigger. They do not hurt that bad, except going to a 6 hurt like hell and a zero was a killer in size difference. Make sure to clean them with soap and water.

the smaller the gauge size is, the bigger the gauge will actually be. i say start with a 16/14 and work your way up

Well most ears are pierced at 20/18 gauge if you got it done with a gun.
Then I suggest buying a 16g bar and putting it in, and going down in gauge sizes (so 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, 00 etc.)
The smaller the gauge, bigger the size.
Don't skip gauges, but I suggest talking to a piercer about gauging before you start yourself.

Always clean your ears regularly, and don't stretch too soon.
