Or she could have you arrested for...shit, I can't remember the name of the charge, and you could go to jail where you can't have earrings in AT ALL. Your choice. -- Posted by juliahcrashbang at 7:51 am on Dec. 7, 2008 she wouldn't go as far as getting me arrested but i will listen i guess -- Posted by DALINE at 7:53 am on Dec. 7, 2008 She could have riped them out! -- Posted by Natsy at 7:53 am on Dec. 7, 2008 what are they? -- Posted by Monroe at 7:57 am on Dec. 7, 2008 4g? 4g is pretty big, actually. I had mine at a 6 before, and it was bigger than an eraser of a pencil. 16g is the smallest. -- Posted by Stars Fall For Us at 7:59 am on Dec. 7, 2008 Are you on about ear stretchers? =S I'm confused -- Posted by juliahcrashbang at 7:59 am on Dec. 7, 2008 i pretty sure the ripping wouldnt hurt as bad as the infection i got in my left ear lol when u stretch your ear piercing to a bigger size -- Posted by juliahcrashbang at 8:00 am on Dec. 7, 2008 20g is the smalllest actually when u go to the mall to get them pierced they are either 20g or 18g
