What size gauges should I start out with ?

Okay i really want gauges. So i put in my 16 gauge labret and its almost healed from being stretched. So i was told that you can skip a couple of sizes around your first stretch as long as you dont go too big. Would it be okay if I went up to a 10 gauge? Cuz i really really want them :) thanks for your advice. Love you guyss :) <3
