you can go pretty big and still have them close,
i took mine out around four years ago, they were 5/8ths of an inch.
now they have gone back to the point that i could maybe fit an eight gauge in them if i wanted to. basically if youre going to stretch your ears, take your time between putting in bigger jewelry, i always waited around two months, this will insure you dont destroy your ears. ive seen ears blow out before from not doing things proper, not a cool looking sight.
