so my goal size started out as 2
then turned to 0
then 00
now maybe even further!

i just stretched up to a 00 finally, using a coconunt wood taper. it went through very easily, but i heard you shouldnt wear wood plugs/tapers in the shower, and im not too sure of how to go about cleaning them and whatnot.

any help would be appreciated :)

Hey! I reached my goal size of 2G!! Yay! I did it last night with an acrylic taper. Didn't hurt one bit. Well, not as much as I thought it would anyways, just stung for about two minutes. I usually leave tapers in for about 2 days before changing to plugs or tunnels, but it felt fine and looked fine so I switched over to pink and white candy ( Read more... )

Now i def. know NOT what to do with my ears. Gahhh.

I'm at 12mm. If I wore 1/2" kaos plugs, would I fuck up my ear? according to bodyartforms.com 1/2" is 12.7mm. Will that .7mm make much of a difference?

Sea Salt Soaks

I was wondering is it ok to do sea salt soaks with an organic bone plug in? I had one ear that was a touch sore when i went from 00g to 7/16th and im doing the soaks. I was just wondering if the salt would have any affects on the bone plug? Thanks! And im a little new to this so sorry if this is a dumb question:/

can I use acrylic paint on acrylic CBR's and wear them when the paint dries? Will it do nasty things or be okay?
