i have my lobes at 2G. They were 1/2 an inch, but because my pursuing career more than likely doesn't allow piercings, i downsized early.
i had my lip pierced. my baby cousin yanked on it and it got infected. i didn't want to deal with it anymore so i pulled out the jewelery and let it heal.
and i got my nosed pierced about a month ago. waiting for it to heal so i can take the homo stud out and put in a seamless ring.
