Hey Bill, like jsowens, I got mine done at a 10g to start also. I'm at a 0g with plans to possibly go up to 00g. Even if you started at a 10g and stretched bigger as long as you take good care of your ears during the stretching process your ears would likely shrink back down to a barely noticeable hole. I agree with you about starting at a size 10 vs a size 18/16 - the options you have for jewerly are kinda girly. If it's something you wanna try, go for it - the best thing about piercings are that even if you decide it's not for you, at least it's not there forever - unlike a tattoo. Also, if you decide to go for it, I would get both ears done as that's more common than just one. Good luck!

Well I took the 10g steel plug I ordered online and took it to a local tattoo/piercing shop to get 'claved today!
I've got my antibac soap ready in the shower, non-iodized sea salt for routine soakings, and some jojoba oil for some TLC/healing aid. Tomorrow I'll go get my first piercing! Pretty excited.
I'll have a new pic up within a day or two.
BillOnBass:
Here it is! The whole piercing process was virtually pain-free. The clamps were more irritating than the needle itself. My lobe is still slightly red in the pic. I'm very satisfied with my decision!
(Excuse the stubble, haven't shaved in about 4 days, haha)

As Rob-Raz pointed out, tats can get to be an addiction. I would imagine it could get to a point where you didn't know if you were coming or going!! :D
Personally, I don't have any, but I guess the addiction can sneak up on you before you know it.

But I do think that some people do go to the extreme with facial and/or body piercings....but then again...they say behind every tattoo/body piercing lies a great story waiting to be told!
Scott:
Congrats bro! Glad you enjoyed the process but yeah the clamps can be a real pain.
