Just thought id throw in that piercing guns are filthy machines that can not be sterilized properly..yes!

But also…they dont actually pierce your ear, they use a method consisting of blunt force trauma, which in most circumstances damages tissue and if pierced through cartlidge will in most cases shatter cartlidge. In turn the damage the guns…[Read more]

18g? Are you serious? I am refering to INITIAL jewellery here.

For lobes 16g is the absolute smallest gauge you should use for…[Read more]

If you are wanting to stretch your ears and then take them out at a later stage for your career so they can close up completely or atleast small enough for standard jewellery you don’t want to go past 8 to 10mm maximum as once you have passed that size it is less likely for it to close up completely or to the standard jewllery suze which is 14g…[Read more]

really cool idea.

if i were you i wouldnt go back to that piercer. do be carefull. because if she has pierced through your perotid glands your in for some troublesome times!! espicially if she was fishing for an exit halfway through your cheek! :s

make sure you go to a reputable piercer. as with cheek piercings…piercing them to far out will actually mess with your perotid glands, this causes alot of fluid build ups which needs frequent draining. cheek piercings done through the perotid glands take a long time to heel some up to 3 years if they heal at all, [this can even happen when…[Read more]
