What is the Largest That I Can Safely Stretch my Ears Without Needing Surgery? (photo)

Justanormalguy
So I'm looking to get gauges and I've decided that the largest I want to go is a size 6 (4.12mm) however I am wanting to know if they will close naturally and if not what is largest size that will close on its own. I also plan on going to a professional to get them pierced and only using high quality gauges.
