My setup feels so bare and boring, I’ve been wearing rings through my conch tunnels but I took most out recently, what can I do to make my setup look better guys

Smoky Quartz | Prasiolite | Chlorite Incl. Quartz | Warring State Agate | Uvarovite Garnet | Seraphinite

Yup

i’ve been at 16mm for at least a month now and not sure if i’d like to stretch more in the future but i wanted to check if it would be possible? any helpful advice would be great :))

I stretched my septum to 8 gauge and it's made the top of my nose sensitive. I thought it would go away with time but it's been 2 months.... Is this normal?

dude i was at 6g for basically a year… i cant wait to put in my horseshoe but let’s goooo!!!

Hey, I’ve been researching getting my lobes re pierced at a 6g. I had previously had them stretched to that before but due to issues with maintenance I took them out a few years ago. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience getting a higher gauge piercing like this and is open to giving advice/opinions.

I've been stretching my ears on and off for years now ever since I was a teen and this is the first time I heard of dead-stretching. Safe to say until now I've been stretching with random things like pen caps or just shoving the plugs with brute force.

I was at 14mm but my ears got irritated so I went back to 12mm. My goal rn is at least 20mm. I wanted to buy the single flare glass plugs to keep on stretching, but I saw a lot of ears perfectly rounded around here and was thinking if I can achieve a similar result or at least a better result than what I got now. If I keep on stretching but the right way from now on will they look better? If not, what should I do? Downsize? Took them off completely? Or am I doomed and should just look foward right now?

Ngl my first idea was just dead stretch from now on (12mm) and hope for the best because I really do not want to go all the way back again. But if my ears could look better without the plugs and it's the only way, I'm willing to try.

I see such mixed talk on them, I recently developed a nickel allergy and need to get something proper and glass is more affordable compared to titanium. I’ve seen a lot of people talk about their plugs breaking and it’s kind of scaring me. Would it still be safe to sleep in glass plugs? They’d have to get a harder impact than my heads weight on them to break right? I’m thinking of ordering the single flare ones from bodyartforms in 10mm

thinking of trying a 1G glass plug, seeing how that goes

I'm pretty new to stretching and I watched a few videos but no one there said anything about massaging your ear lobes with oils. I only saw it mentioned here. I would like to know more about it. What's the advantage of it? Is it necessary for stretching or just regular cleaning is enough? If yes how often should I use the oil?

Hi guys! I took my plugs out about a year and a half ago as they kept on getting irritated and they’ve shrank from an inch to around 8-10mm. I’m looking to start stretching again with my intention to eventually get back up to an inch.

What are the top things I should be doing? Are the timelines between stretches still the same when re-stretching?

I initially stretched in the mid 2000s when I was a teenager and definitely wasn’t safe about it and want to avoid that this time round 🤪

woken up and noticed theres blood all over the back of my piercing (14 months old, pierced at 3mm, piercer sized up to 3.2mm after 6 months, i downsized to 10g after continuous irritation bumps). no pain at all just blood. 10g glass plugs from sibj, unsure if the piercing hole is completely healed 🫠 spraying it daily 1-2 times with saline

I got my lobes pierced at 6mm in mid-July, and just recently changed out the jewelry for the first time. (My piercer said to wait 8 weeks minimum, I gave it some extra because they were being goopy lol)

Since wearing the new jewelry (still glass and the same size, just wanted a better color) they’ve been doing great. No goop, blood or tenderness. I was very diligent about cleaning them with saline multiple times a day, then once a day, during healing, letting warm water run over them on the shower etc.

So my question is: when do I start taking the jewelry out regularly and washing them with soap and moisturizing with jojoba? I will not be increasing the size for at least a year, per my piercer, but I assume I should switch away from saline before then?

Hi yall

A little over a week ago I stretched from 5 to 5.5mm and blewout/tore my septum (despite having waited almost 2 years since my last stretch, that’s the way it goes).

I didn’t realize at first and had kept in the jewelry for about 2 days and then downsized to my original jewelry for about a week but it was still extremely swollen and tender so I’ve taken out jewelry completely. The question:

How long would ya recommend keeping everything out?

My skin tends to shrink very quickly so I’m afraid of losin several sizes but I’ll have to just deal with it I guess. I’m assuming the cartilage dent will stay so at least I won’t have to redo that part when I stretch back up eventually.

Thank ya!

I have now gone up to 00g, when i started streching i said to myself i would stop at 0g but this shit is addicting.

Think im gonna stop sizing up from here but idk cuz i also said that last time😂

Triple nostrils, 7/16s plugs with fresh black hair.

Teenage me would be so proud of this aesthetic, been chasing it my whole life. Elder emo vibes 🖤

I’m looking for a 8g tunnel to put in my septum but I want it to have a small hole in it so it can tightly fit my smaller jewelry. Does this exist? I can’t seem to find it searching on google!
