Hold up, you mean the holes? You don't look "mean" enough to rock that look IMHO, keep it clean DD!
hey Dottie,
I am an ex-body body piercer. GO SLOW stretching your ears. DON'T skip guages. You can stretch your ears every two to three weeks. The first few days you stretch them...your ears will swell, be red and tender and leak plasma<---oh yeah and don't think blood plasma dried on your jewelry is an infection.
I would say from 14g to about 6g is fine to do by yourself. Any bigger have a pro do it. The larger you get, the more chance in getting tears (and the more painful it gets).
For aftercare. There are all kinds of fancy aftercare products these days...but really Dial soap is just fine, I have used it for a decade! Aftercare for stretching is simple. (I just washed mine while in the shower- really it is that simple) ALSO check out this site:

As for ears looking funny. You can go back to a very close to normal look (but it takes a few years) all you do is don't abuse your ears in the stretching process and don't go bigger than 2g.
I'm sure you've probably heard, but just a double warning... once you gauge your earlobes, they never go back to their normal state. If you want them regular again, you have to have plastic surgery to have them cut and restitched, and they never really look the same. That being said, gauging is really something you should have done (or at least started) by a reputable professional piercer. Ears get infected pretty easily, so you'll want to clean with Bactine, or some other kind of antibiotic solution. They also tear, so you'll have to be extremely careful. Other than that, I would really suggest going to a professional and be like, 300% sure you're ok with the committment.

cool dottie. its cool my roomates, one stretched her ears quite large, (which are allways big and she cant wear ref earrings, but she dosnt care she loves it) and the other stretched them a little so she could wear some of the smaller gaged pieces, but she could still wear reg earrings. they both love it. the best thing is to keep your jewelry hypoallergenic and use emu oil when your dry!
