YES YES YES 4-GAUGE FUCKING FINALLY!!!!
My ears have been at 6g for the longest time -- like 4 YEARS now -- and I bought those 6g "DNA helix" swirly stainless steel earrings back in July in the vague hope that they'd stretch my ears by the weight of it (in addition to the fact that they are fucking pretty). Well, last night I kept tossing and turning in my sleep and dreaming that my earrings kept falling out (they have fallen out before but not quite in the way that I was dreaming about it).
So just now I decided, what the hell, let me find those 4g tapers and 4g curved barbells I bought a sodding long time ago. AND THE TAPERS SLID RIGHT THROUGH!!!! For a while I thought they must be the 6g tapers; they can't be the 4g... but I compared them to my 6g CBRs and no, they're definitely the 4g tapers! I AM SO HAPPYYYYYYYYYY!!!
I can get the curved barbell in my right ear but my left is a smidge too tight so I've got the 4g taper in that one for now. I'm allergic to black (nitrile) O-rings, so I unfortunately can't leave it in to sleep or go outside, but I'll put the 6g swirly earring back in my left ear before I go to bed.
In the meantime, now that I know I can wear 4g jewelry, I need to find those same swirly earrings in 4g. Because they're my favorite earrings evereverever! So, IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE THEM AT YOUR LOCAL HOT TOPIC (where I found them the first time), WOULD YOU BUY THEM FOR ME? I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER (and pay you for them, of course). I've tried searching for them on ebay but haven't had any luck (and they're not sold on hottopic.com). =(
ETA: NOW WITH PIKCHURS!
AND/OR
ETA2: Leaving the taper in for a bit worked like a charm! I now have the 4g curved barbells in both ears! They're so ugly, but whatever, they're just placesizeholders for now.
