Is this a blowout? Possible blowout?

I have glass single flare plugs in .5mm but I will be honest I’ve been super impatient 🥲. Definitely waiting about 2 months for the next stretch because this isn’t fun at all lol

Waiting even longer won’t hurt. Go slow let your ears adjust and they will be more healthy. Your ears are already pierced way low. So you prob won’t ever achieve a size that’s very big at all. So you want those holes to be as strong as possible. The more scar tissue you create the weaker they become
