i have both of my earlobes stretched to 7/16 of an inch. my left one is even and pretty normal but my right one is getting thin on the bottom. my goal was to go to half an inch or maybe a little more but i’m scared that my ear is gonna end up splitting. the messed up gauge is the only piercing i have done by a gun. everything else, including the left gauge, was done by me with hollow piercing needles and sterilized jewelry
