So, whilst i was in Indiana last week, i visted Big Mojo with the intent on getting a new nipple ring, cuz i've been wanted a large-ish captured bead preferably out of nubian (yeah, i cant spell, you know what i'm trying to say) and i cant put a captured bead ring together myself.
Any how, to make a long story short, i got one and had the chick put it in for me, and goddamn did it hurt... like... hmm... i've changed my barbell on my own before and for the brief period that i used the horse-shoe w/ the spikey bits on the ends i had minimal problems putting that in (my body just didnt like whatever it was made out of.. oops) but.. umm...yeah... i was left a bit sore for the rest of the day, which i thought was odd... untill today when i looked at the other ring in the pack (there were 2 slightly differnt ones in the pack) and umm... compared that to my barbell... and comparing that to the one i have in.... ummmm..... I think i accidentally went up a gauge.
The pack said 14 gauge.... but perhaps this one was taken out to look at the size or something and put back in the wrong pack? It really looks like a 12 gauge... One would think the chick who changed it for me would have noticed.. and she did have trouble putting it through, and we both commented how the ends seemed kinda big.... So this would explain why i was so sore, though it's fine now... It's just not a piercing i ever had any intention on stretching. :(
