By the way...


It's stretching, not gauging. And they're called plugs, not gauges.

It depends on where you come from. In the US, at least around here in Chicago, all the earrings come in "gauged" sizes. So, 6g, 4g, etc. I use the word gauge when talking about the size of the earring/hole, because that's what they come in. I've friends in other places that use measurements, 3/4, etc. But if I'm just referring the that fact that the piercing has been enlarged, I use stretched.
Although I don't think it really matters, everyone usually knows what you're talking about
