I have a cbr in my ear cart piercing, and I want to switch to a barbell, I was wondering what size I would need? I was pierced at a 16g. I either want to stay with the same gauge or go to a 14g. Just wondering.

Thanks,
Stephanie

You really need to have the piercing measured to determine what size jewelry you need. This is something your piercer can do in person.

Stretching cartiledge can be problematic from what I've seen. You should probably stick with a 16g. Here's the catch, though... I had my industrials done at 16g, and I can get 14g in there with no problem *now that they're healed*. So if it's healed, you can probably do a 14g. If it gives you resistance, I wouldn't push it. Hope that helps a little...
