Hey all, just a question. I’m looking to get my ears pierced, but would like to get my start off jewelery as just some small 12ga black tunnels. Is it possible to get your ears pierced at this gauge? Or would it require a punch?
I’m also going to guess that cleaning ear piercings with tunnels in instead of starter jewelery will be more difficult, but is there really any other downfall?
Thanks for any responses!

Your not starting off with those. Almost impossible to clean properly. Start with a standard CBR or CBB and move to the other jewelry. And to answer your actual question the largest double sharp hypo they use is going to be 8g. But a good piercer can use an 8g needle and push a 6g piece of jewelry behind it, that’s how my ears were done like 20 years ago, shit I’m old.

We pierce almost daily with 12 gauge needles, and it is no problem at all to insert a titanium tunnel 12G
another problem with that jewlery is that it is externally threaded. props for getting your lobes actually pierced with a hollow needle. I was 9 years old and stupid when i pierced mine with a sewing needle. i should slap myself for that one. im paying for it now stretching I’ve got some fun old scar tissue in there.
That wasn’t the exact jewelery I was going to get, I know internally threaded is better, due to the threads not tearing your skin every time you put it through. It was more so just the STYLE I was talking about. I know most people get it done with rings, but I am not a ring guy.
I haven’t gotten my ears pierced just yet, thinking about getting them done when I get the rest of my tattoo done.

never and I mean never get pierced with coloured jewellery. straight up 316lvm surgical steel, titanium, bioplast, ptfe, someone fill in if I’m missing something but coloured jewellery in a fresh piercing is a no no. That jewellery wasn’t black in it’s purest form and unless you like having paint for lack of a better word flaking off with your healing skin I’d suggest starting off with something that is pure.
