So i just recently got both of my lobes pierced at a 6 gauge with a needle and i was wondering if this is common. I've never had them pierced before and i dont plan on going bigger. Was this a mistake or is it ok? I've been reading online and i havent come across too many people that get pierced this big. Let me know!

 It is common, just take good care of them while you heal and all should be well!

 I got pierced at 8g. It is common. It's healed wonderfully and they're much more stretchy than my old gunned lobes because there's not so much scar tissue build up.

^me too. i was stuck at an 8, but looking back, i wish i started even bigger.
