The Lobes

So right now, I have 6 GA flesh tunnels in my lobes. They’re the kind that are flared on one side, and the back has an O-ring on it. The problem is that if I put the slightest pressure on the back of the jewelry, it’ll pull right through my lobe. This is prolly a good indication that I could go right to a 4 GA without problem.

Here’s the problem: I don’t want to go any bigger right now. Why are my ears insisting on going bigger without provocation? It’s been six months since I’ve had jewelry in my ears, and they opened right up like that? It just doesn’t make sense.

Any ideas?
