Damn, I dunno what half of those are! I have basic piercings: both nipples, labret, and lips on both sides, ears gauged to 1/2", each ear pierced 4 times aside from that, one ear has an industrial, one an orbital, both conches. Eyebrow, tongue. No pics on hand so I just snapped one with the phone. reppin the fingerstache tattoo.

[bubba99]

[vivalahammer]

[NCsDIME98]

Hey hey, fuck you. I have that done too. Yours looks pretty recent too, because mine is half faded away and I need to get it re-done. So don't think you're the only one, asshat.

[Wicked Mayhem]

tons of people have that lol.. thats so common.


5/8 lobes with some cheap ass plugs.. looking for some good looking ones right now..

[BlownDime]

Well after taking almost all my piercings out, I went and got my nipples repierced, and took my ears from healed shut to 1/2" in a day.

I still have one dermal anchor left in my calf, and my PA as well.

[LOW_EH!]

got a question...right now my ears are gauged to a 2 and thats only because i was told by a guy who owns a piercing jewellery shop told me that any bigger then a 2 and your ears wont grow back to normal, so just wondering what anyone else was told about how big to go before they will go back to normal?

everyone's ears are diff. man. i could take mine out from 5/8 and they could go down to 7/16. and someone else could be at 5/8 and take em out and could shrink down to 00.

but a general rule of thumb Ive read quite a bit is anything past 00 is point of no return.

so if your wanting them to close up one day, id prolly stay where you are so you have nothing to worry about.

or say **** it, stretch em fairly big, then spend the money to have surgery n make your ears normal again.. that's the route im taking.

[purplepassion]

im thinking about getting my ears pierced now

[LOW_EH!]

thanks dude for the reply im thinkin of goin to 0 and then stopping

damn google or wikipedia it, I obviously dont expect to be original with that,. I just hate taking pics,. and now nearly every pic that I take includes the stache, just a fun novelty tat,.it doesnt hold ink well, 5 dollar touch ups for life at the local shop.

[silver97s10]

1" in both ears

I went from 1/2" to completely closed in 3 weeks. My ears stung like hell while they were shrinking.

[kelton]

I am at a 4 right now but plan to go to a 2 soon. Oh and Chris my friends were telling me I was stretching mine fast. But I think you got yours pierced 2 weeks before I did and you are like waaaaaay bigger than I am.

[PunkDime99]

i stretched mine from a 14 to 00's in about 5 months.. not going any bigger though bc i already get hassled about em from work.. sucks but i gotta make that money rght?

haha yeah i went fast. i have went slow from 1/2-9/16-5/8.. well slow in my time.

i mess with my ears alot so i guess by be taking the double flare in and out all the time and kinda pullin on them they self stretch, so i just tape up to the next size, and order plugs.

i have some 11/16 plugs here, those fuggers look huge. i think im about done stretching. looking at me face to face i think my ears are starting to look weird. but from the side i think they could go bigger and still look fine.


they have been pierced for right at 4 months and in that time i went from 10gauge to 5/8 . no patience FTW!

[bubba99]

freaks!

Everyone's body reacts differently. The fact that Chris pulls and plays with the jewellery will allow him to stretch faster and less painfully.

If you wanna go big, tug it.

[chevrunner21]

i'm 20 i've got 4 tatts and plan on covering MOST of my body. i've been thinking about maybe getting my tounge pierced and doing some kind of chest tatts and nip piercings that go together lol maybe a face or bull something crazy. of course if i got any piercings theyd be gauged quick(2in tounge idk about nips) i dont like just little piercings(unless its a girls nipps because that shits hott) i've already got most of my ink i just need to stop spending money on everything else(trans am, paintball, s10) lol.

Oh mine heal really fast. After a stretch using tapers they are sore for like 20 min maybe. But I kind of see it as a waste to buy tapers and plugs and leave em in for just a couple of weeks. And then go up in size and then you have jewelry that you cant even use.

[MurderedS10]

i just bought myself some needles and a stretching kit. i'm going to be going up to 00. can't wait till my buddy gets back in town so he can pierce my ears lol

also, where does everyone buy their plugs/tunnels?

I buy mine at a place called Cosmic Fish. Its a store where they sell body jewelry, posters, bongs, pipes, etc. But there are a lot of places online to buy them too.

i'm looking on ebay right now there are too many choices i don't know what i want

[Jaksonplayer]

ears are 13/16"

[Fleenor009]

i was at a 00 and took them out about a week and half ago and they have grown up to like a 6 but it was tough tryin to get a 6 in! and i wouldnt recommend anyone to use silcone tubes they blow!!!

[Ricky]

I love the silcone tunnels..w/those I was able to go from 000g to 5/8" in a matter of about 2 months.. 7/16" then to 1/2" to 9/16" & finally 5/8".

What i found helped as well was I used the gauge size under the silicone tunnel & slide that into the silicone once it didn't hurt anymore. Doing that helped alot.

for example the 7/16" silicone I put the 3/8" single flare inside..

[Fleenor009]

i went from a 0 to a 00 using silcone dude and when i put them in dude the swelling never went down so i started letting them grow up cuz they werent healing any

[suicidal]

i tried to stretch ine with the silicone...they did stretch, but never healed...I took them out, and let them heal, stretched them later, and put the silicone in, and they make my ears STINK!

[NCsDIME98]

words of advice ive had my ears done way to long to know

don't ever stretch with: silicon or wood they won't heal as fast and more likely to get infected but i always stretch with metal no matter what....


oh and about the stench: wood breathes better than anything metal, silicon, acrylic they all smell something awful so...

thats my two cents

[Wicked Mayhem]

i love my earskins. i got 9/16 in right now. i want to buy some clear ones for 5/8. i love that i can have my phone up to the screen and not hear the clanking noise of my ear hitting the screen.

FTW

just dont sleep in them.. they will fall out.

my 5/8 double flares fell out last night lol

It's nothing to do with breathing, it's dead skin cells that normally fall off, accumulating on jewellery. Personally I get no ear cheese with any form of metal, anything else I've tried is rank. When I had my labrets at 8g with some acrylic spikes in I would gag from the smell below my nose haha.

Organic plugs tend to breathe better actually. Now I've heard you shouldn't use them until your ears heal but its better for then after.

[Ricky]

I love rubbing on the back side of my ear & then smelling my finger...


LOL..god it stinks..

Hahaha, guilty.

[Wicked Mayhem]

when i wear acrylic plugs the smell gets so bad, i can just be sitting here and i could start smelling it. if i wear metal ones or silicone ones i get virtually no smell.

[MurderedS10]

Hey Chris, how long did it take you to get to the gauge you are at now?
and what did you start at?




EDIT: just un-lazied myself. u pierced them on 8/18 with a 10 gauge.

[Wicked Mayhem]

correct. today is exactly 4 months and i am at 5/8. i have 9/16 in at the moment cause i dont have any 5/8 plugs i like. i think im getting some for christmas so im holding off on buying anything lol.i sleep in 5/8 though

[MurderedS10]

alright cool. i'm hoping i can do it right and quick. on me, cuts and shit heal quick so i image my ears will. i also got big ass lobes lol

i bought a 14-00g Stainless Plug kit off ebay but might end up finding some tunnels because i'd imagine the plugs are heavy. hoping to get my ears pierced when i get back from vacation on the 4th or 5th. can't wait

[Wicked Mayhem]

cool... did you get tapers?

[MurderedS10]

Quote: Originally Posted by Wicked Mayhem

i got this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=230314218909

i figure the rounded edge would work fine. but i'm guessing that tapers wont hurt as bad so if i find some cheap ones i'll get em i guess

[Wicked Mayhem]

that sucks, those things are long as well. my 1/4" wearable earskins for great. i have some long ass one and they look funky being so long.

but yeah, if you wait it out and let it self stretch, you wont need tapers. but if your gonna rush id, i would get tapers personally. i mean you can try it out and see whatcha think...

these are a littler over 1/2" long....

[MurderedS10]

where do u buy yours?

and i should look for 1/4" ?

EDIT: Just got these
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=370130323120

[Wicked Mayhem]

all ears are different. the 1/4" earskin fits my ear good.

i wouldnt worry to much about it since they are small sizes you are not sticking with. so dont tie to much money into smaller sizes if you dont plan on staying there long.

[MurderedS10]

yea, i want to go up a gauge a week. and if it's not healing fast enough for a certain gauge, i'll do it every 2 weeks.

i know how fast that is lol
