What size can I stretch up to without permanent damage?

7/16″
When you get to 0g, the next size is 00g (pronounced “double zero gauge”). 00g is equal to about 3/8 of an inch. After 00g, we run out of gauge sizes, so we use fractions of an inch instead. The next size after 00g is 7/16″.
Will my ears shrink back from a 00?
Firstly- they will never truly close, any piercing that has been stretched is more than likely fully stable and has a strong and well developed fistula. This means no closing, like ever. Secondly- they may “shrink”, I’ve seen ears stretched up past 18mm shrink back to small 3mm holes.
Is there a gauge size between 0 and 00?
To avoid damaging the ear lobe, it is necessary to use “half sizes” to keep the stretches at one millimeter increments. The half size between 2g and 0g is 7mm, also known as 1g. The half size between 0g and 00g is 9mm and is occasionally called 00g.
How long does it take for 0 gauges to close?
Once it fits properly, go down another size until you reach the smallest gauge. Once you reach this point, your hole should be able to close on its own. This entire process usually takes at least 2 months. You can also help your ears along the road to healing by cleaning and massaging them with oils and moisturizers.

Why do gauges smell so bad?
The reason your ear gauges smell bad is because they’re sitting in your ear. Your skin sheds almost every hour on the hour and all of those dead skin cells are left sitting on the gauge. Thus the stinky smell. To prevent this, a strict cleaning regiment is needed.

When you get to 0g, the next size is 00g (pronounced “double zero gauge”). 00g is equal to about 3/8 of an inch. After 00g, we run out of gauge sizes, so we use fractions of an inch instead. The next size after 00g is 7/16″.
How long do you leave a gauge in your ear?
Leave the smaller piece in your ear for 3 to 4 days or up to a week so your ear gradually shrinks to hold it. If you switch to drastically smaller sizes too quickly, they may fall out of your ear. For example, if your normal gauge is a 000g (10.4 mm), put a 00g (9.26 mm) in your ear.
Is there a way to close a gauged ear lobe?
For some people, there’s a gauge size at which point their piercings will not shrink at all, and they need surgery to fix them. For other people, they can have large gauges, take the jewelry out, and the holes almost close completely. Reducing gauged ear lobes varies dramatically and can’t be predicted.
How big is a 0g ear plug in inches?
When you get to 0g, the next size is 00g (pronounced “double zero gauge”). 00g is equal to about 3/8 of an inch. After 00g, we run out of gauge sizes, so we use fractions of an inch instead. The next size after 00g is 7/16″. The sizes go up by 1 sixteenth of an inch from there, but they’re reduced fractions, so instead of 8/16″, we just say 1/2″.
