first ear stretch

i bought an ear stretching kit and did the first stretch today which was 14g. one of my ears did really well (probably cause i had already kind of stretched it before) but the other one i had some trouble with. eventually the taper went through and it wasn’t bleeding when i took the taper out but when i tried to put the tunnel in i saw there was a bit of blood on the tunnel after the first attempt. i have the 14g tunnel in now (it doesn’t hurt and it’s not red or anything) and it’s been several hours since i stretched it but should i be worried about the ear that bled a bit? can i leave the 14g tunnel in? 💀 it wasn’t a ton of blood or anything, just a few dots but i know there’s not supposed to be any blood at all when you stretch and idk i just don’t wanna fuck my ears up before i even get to the bigger sizes. i should probably mention i have had my ears stretched to like a 2g or 0g before but that was back in middle school and i literally just shoved the 2g/0g tapers in my ear like an idiot.
