Can 10mm stretched ears close?
Most ears stretched up past 10mm may in fact never close up more than about 4–5mm. Again so many factors are involved in this question that it is truly difficult to tell without looking at the piercing you’re referring too. They may never close, but over time (which could be up to a year) they may shrink.
What MM should I start stretching ears?
The starting point for most people is 14g, which is just slightly larger than a regular earring. If you’ve only recently healed from a regular ear piercing, you may want to start out with 16g tapers, just to be on the safe side.
How long should you wait to stretch your ears?
Ear stretching can be done as soon as you want. The only real condition is that you need to have a completely healed piercing before you start. It’s best to wait up to 6 months (sometimes longer) to make sure it’s fully healed and you’ll be able to stretch evenly.
