The standard gauge for most ear piercings, such as earlobes, is typically 20 gauge. However, cartilage piercings may be done at a slightly larger gauge, often 18 or 16 gauge. It's important to consult with a professional piercer to determine the most suitable gauge for your specific piercing.
It can vary from person to person, but generally, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months for an ear piercing to fully close up. Keeping an earring in the piercing regularly can help prevent it from closing up quickly.
It can take a few weeks to months for gauges to close up completely after removing them, depending on the size of the jewelry and how long the gauges were worn. Massaging the earlobes with oil can help promote faster healing and closure.
For the basic oral piercings, ie. lip piercing, monroe, labret etc etc; the swelling begins to go down after a few days. Since the cartilage for a dimple piercing is much thicker than that of a lip piercing, the swelling will take a little bit longer to go down. Usually 3-10 days before the swelling begins to go down, depending on how much you play with the jewelery, irritate the piercing, and even how you clean it can all alter the amount of time your piercing is swollen for!
To take out a cartilage piercing, first wash your hands thoroughly. Gently twist the jewelry to loosen it, then carefully pull it out. Clean the area with saline solution or antiseptic after removing the jewelry.

You shouldn't be "poking" anything through them.... If you stretched them, you have to keep jewelry in them or they'll shrink back up. You cant really take jewelry out of a stretched piercing and not expect for it to shrink a bit. Especially after 5 days.
