Acrylic and me don't get on, sadly.

I was using metal ones and my ears felt like heavy weights!

I might go onto using acrylic or glass crescents, they are pretty.

ebay? go for it, i got my last kit on a shop that sells them since i lost my last set, most tend to only go up to 8mm. mines was a nice 1.2,1.6,2,3,4,5,6,8mm.

alot cheaper than buying out of a shop imo.

this new stretchings made me want to put my 10mm up to a 12 or 14 and start my second piercings but got so many at 10mm already

Just been onto Wildcat, wahay for their bargain basement!

Just got these in 12mm.

That is my ear at 10mm and 5mm. The 10mm will be staying that size, but the 5mm size will be going up to 20mm.

It was sitting at 8mm, but it was getting really sore and yuck for some reason so i down sized and i will try later on

The other ear is sitting at 8mm the now, but i dont have a picture of that.

mines when i first did it 2 years ago, 10mm, the others at 4mm soon to be 5mm.

system star - interesting to see the first hole smaller than the second

Mine as they are now, 18mm in the bottom & the ones above taken out after going up to 10mm, but you could probably still get a 4 or 5mm through them

you'll need to be careful if you're planning to take the bottom one to 20, they look awful close together...... you'll probably end up with them joining eventualy or the thinnest thinnest piece of flesh between them.

and here's mine, right ear is also at 14, with the second lobe but no others on that side

System_Star · 23rd August 2006, 3:27pm

Yeah i am thinking of getting them scalpeled.

My ear is all fucked up the now anyway, i hadn't even done anything to it!

Och well. I have just taken it out and doing salt soaks now.

does anyone ever wear tunnels (they're the ones you can see through, right?). I am only planning on going to 4mm but I quite like the idea of tunnels. Would it look reeediculous?

I wear tunnels, 6mm here - they don't look ridiculous to me

System_Star · 23rd August 2006, 3:31pm

They would just be very small.

The Continental · 23rd August 2006, 3:31pm

Bear in mind the 4mm part is the outside diameter of the tunnel so the actual hole in that type of jewelerry is tiny if you are looking for the "Ooooh I have a big hole in my lug" effect.

Back in the day, I had little red 4mm tunnels, but the holes inside were so small you could hardly tell the difference between them and plugs
