The SO Piercing Questions & Discussion Mega-Thread

Thats going up fairly quick?

How large of an increase was that? You don't want to blow out with the larger sizes.
 
I did stretch them pretty fast but everything has been really great so far. I probably wouldn't recommend anybody do that fast, especially if its your first time stretching your ears. This last stretch (up to around about 0 gauge I estimate), one of the ears let a little blood out when I popped it in (not much just oozed some). Given that, now I'll stay here for a week or so and wash them really good in the shower and with saltwater solution...and then I'll go up to a 00 (with a taper) and put my new plugs in (once these heal).

I really recommend the electric tape thing. 2CB-boy was talking about bondage tape being healthier for this purpose since the glue in electric tape might irritate your ears. Best to listen to him, but I haven't run into any problems with the glue (a piercer chick at the shop down the street said the same thing to me, just to watch out for problems).

I'm way happy with them in now :)

I can't wait to get up to 00 to put my nice plugs in (lol at wearing electric tape wad! :D).

I'll take a final pic once I got my new plugs in! :D
 
i got really discouraged trying to go from 2->0, and just left it alone for a few years. The difference in size is a lot, way more of a jump than anything previous. All the others I just sized up and left in for a month or two, then I was able to easily wiggle something larger in. I did wear fairly heavy metal jewelery though.

But trying to stretch to 0 from 2 just isn't happening in one go for me, so I started taping up some black plugs kinda like that a few weeks ago, a round or so every couple days. so far so good. im not sure if I'll go past 0 though, as I might eventually have to take them out for career reasons (god damnit).

I really don't want to tear anything (if bleeding you went too fast and might scar, which won't stretch properly) though, so I'm going agonizingly slow.
 
hey fizzy, just from my experience, I had 00 in 7 years ago and they closed up so tight that they looked just like regular piercings. Thats just me though. I think they'll shrink up pretty small especially if you took that long stretching em.
 
2Cboy thanks for the links! that glassware site is siiiiiiick!

I want some earth glass plugs soooooooo bad now

lol I want so many different plugs its sick!!! :D
 
The dichroic glass plugs they sell are sweet (most in general are. dichro pipes are awesome). I don't think I'd stick anything that colorful in my face though... maybe some earthtoned frit-worked glass ones. Aside from something like that I stick to the plain surgical steel.
 
i used to have some bright green plugs, i think i'm gonna pick up some neon green silicone eyelets once my ears are fully healed.

I forgot how people stare at your ears it was funny in burgerking this evening =D
 
piercing question

i havent had any jewelry in my prince albert for well over a year and it wont close. am i doomed to pee at a 90 degree angle for eternity?
srsly if theres a way to fix this, im all ears.
 
it would stretch and id have to go through the healing process again. not interested.
 
i'd probably ask your primary doctor or a urologist before attempting any fixes yourself. what is the general close up time supposed to be?
 
Just an FYI for eveyone.

The caps on syringes can be used as good, cheap 2 gauge plugs. They work perfectly and you don't have to worry too much about losing them because they are so cheap. I think they look cool too.
 
note to self: stop sticking things in your dick and focus on sticking your dick into things.
cmon 2cbouyant where you at?
 
i know that if the remaining hole is cut and stitched (by a medical profession) then the skin will grow back together again,this works for stretched earlobes and other piercing holes...though i have never seen this done with a prince albert.
 
thats what i was thinking. except i was thinking more along the lines of a wire pipe cleaner. i think your way sounds better though. and much less painful.
 
Yea BD caps should work. I got one brand of syringes that had blue caps so I alternate between blue and orange plugs, or sometimes mix them up ;)
