piercings/stretched ears

[sadbunny]

share what you have, i just got my septum pierced and im loving it so far (in my profile picture ;) now I'm going to be stretching my ears next to double zero gauges and possibly get a medusa piercing on top of that. It's an addiction I think

Looks good!

I have my eyebrow pierced (although I wear a retainer most days) and my helix pierced.

My earlobe is a funny story... when I got it pierced my ear healed quickly over it. So the only way I could remove it was I had to pull the stud out through the wrong end. It was pretty messy. I've tried twice to pierce it and gave up.

I have my nose and septum pierced. I stretched my ears to an inch when I was teenager, and now regret it because I have permanent holes and can't wear cute, regular earrings!

I'm not sure if my ears are still pierced as I haven't worn anything in them for years, but my septum and lip (vertical labret) is pierced

These are scars now but I used to have my tong and my lip pierced. I got my lip done in the Santa Cruz, California bus station. A guy did my tong standing in a living room.

Lol funny story. & hey, I'm from California and go to Santa Cruz often. I love it there! On a scale of 1-10 how much did it hurt because I'm totally thinking about getting my tongue pierced and stretching that too

They definitely have cuter plugs now than they did when I started stretching my ears! I actually wear nothing in them, but I should totally check Etsy for those times I'm trying to look real nice and professional (which is never)

Vertical labret and ears. More of a tattoo kinda girl. Used to have 20+ piercings when I was younger though.

Tong was a 3. My tattoo is a dot on my wrist and was a 10 . I fainted from the pain

Are you from Santa Cruz? I wish ;(

Average, about once a month. But I would mainly listen to my body and it'll tell you when it's ready. Nothing is meant to be painful (more than a slight burn) so stop if you are going past that point. On stubborn stretches I used Teflon tape (plumber's tape). Important to avoid very porous materials as your skin will try to grow into it a bit, causing trauma when you take it out. Like I said, just be patient and make good stretches so your lobes will be healthy and plump, not only giving good blood supply for later healing, but your ears also won't look like shit :)

Sorry I'm just now seeing this, any more questions just reply or PM me. My next stretch though will probably be my septum or tongue, Idk yet lol. I do like when WOMEN stretch their tragus, but I wonder how a punch through my inner conch and then stretched would look.
