My friends girlfriend (also now my co-worker) gave me her 00g or slightly larger double flared green glass plugs today because she cant fit them and she doesnt want to go past 0g. But I just bought my blue dichro eyelets so I don't know if I'm ready to move on from those yet. Both pairs are from Liquid, hand blown glass in Lyndonville VT, in the town I went to college in and the town next to where I live now, and I never realized before that they were pretty much cross country now because I've found their stuff in hot topics and piercers all over the place.. So it's kinda cool I know the people making all this stuff.
I got my lobes pierced in February I think at 14g, and pretty quickly moved up through 4g, which I stayed at all summer because I had a job and the sillicon hider plugs I had were 4g. Since then I've already moved up to 00g, and my job lets me keep in my 'conservative' ear piercings so thats cool.
Oh and Matt, do you use anything on your lobes? I've found when stretching (and any necessary healing from stretching too quickly) vitamin E oil and Bactine help a lot when they're sore, they help calm them down a bit faster.
