Piercing & Jewelry Mega Thread

We have a tattoo thread, now show off your holes!

...no, not those. Your artifically-made ones.


I have three in each lobe, the bottoms stretched to 6g, two cartilage piercings in my right ear, a rook (cartilage) piercing in my left, and my nose. I've had my labret pierced once (and still have a nasty scar - sigh), eyebrow pierced twice (which rejected/migrated both times) and this is the second time I've had my rook done (migrated the first time).

Here's a picture of my fresh rook, about fourteen hours old.

dead thread is dead.

updating this beast. I'm stretching up! 4g spirals put in two days ago. My ears are fully stretched now - got them all the way in. These pictures are from yesterday. Once these heal in about a month or so, I'm going up to 2g.

Nice!

My bro was going to get a pair like that (he was at 7/16) but then his gf's dad told him that "I hate all that tribal ****" so he had to close em up to a 4g

Here is what they looked like at their largest.

Hi, I think it's best to go for the earring thing; get a few earrings first, before ever anyone considers getting into sth more 'bold' like a tattoo.

You never know; you might be satisfied with the earrings only...

i have 2 in each lobe, one in each ear is gauged to 6. i'm not planning on going any bigger. and my second in each lobe is at 16. i also have my upper right cartilage pierced at 14.
i'm planning on getting a third (at 16g) in each lobe so i can put a seemless hoop from the second to the third.

I'll post pics later when i'm at home.

depends on what part of your ear. in the lobe it doesn't matter. but in the cartilage i prefer needle. i've heard that a gun can shatter your cartilage.

Purple Girl:

I see, thnx, so from what you say, you seem to have done both.

I guess that I was thinking of lobes, but yes I can see that for cartilage the gun could be problematic, expecially if the angle isn't just right.

Sounds like you have a few piercings, then.

Purple Girl:

Yes, I think you are wise not to go too big with your gauging; otherwise when you want to take them out the holes may not shrink again.

While doubles in the lobes are certainly classy for a lady, I guess that the extent to whether triples will "work", too, depends sometimes on how big the doubles are gauged...

(But what do I know...)

Well, yes, they're nice, aren't they. And is that really a big bare hole in your lower lobe earring? If so, must have given you at least some sense of achievement, when you managed it. (And I guess the other side the same too.)

Sounds like you find piercing quite satisfying, anyway. And I think you said you're not done yet. (Anyway, like I said, some ppl are content enough with enhacing their piercings that they never feel the need to get into a tattoo, as well.)

To be honest? It depends who the person is much like any other thing you wear

Certain people look good in things some don’t


Some of my friends they look awesome with any of those up there


Others its …. Just….. wrong
