You can do a salt soak any time, it doesn't make any difference really. You don't need to rinse it off either.

Some people do, if they have more sensitive skin ;D In general, the amount of salt used shouldn't be enough to dry out skin but people have different tolerances.

Mmmm... Such a cute guy today with stretched lobes in the shop :coma:

Nah, my mum's happy for me to have any piercings, but none on my face. Which I can deal with. It also pretty much just leaves genitals to do :ninja:

That's what I was thinking. But maybe over the summer because I don't fancy going to interviews with a ring in my nose over the healing period. Unless they can pierce with retainers... :awesome:

I have a 1.6mm labret in my ear now. How far can you stretch them so they go back?
I know you're probably meant to use a taper and not just poke it through at work, but meh :p:

Right, that's my tomorrow sorted :woo:

Actually, I need to pick up some clothes I reserved at the piercing place anyway. Yay two birds with one stone. :yep:

they did mine with a U-shaped retainer and flipped it right away...

up to around 6mm is generally thought to be the returning point, but my second hole was 6mm and has gone back to around 2, and doesnt want to shrink anymore. Its different for everyone though, so id say if you definately wanted them to go back dont go over 4mm.

If you're only going up a few points of a mm each time and leaving a few weeks in between, you may not need to taper, i didnt taper mine until 4mm.

Grr, my ears are a mess! Tried to take my earrings out today (it's been 8 weeks) and i couldn't budge the butterfly. So I decided to go to Camden to see the lovely girl in Chioko, and she took them out and put plastic labret studs in (which hurt as they were a bit thicker than my hole!). But my right ear has a lump on the back of it, which is why its been so sore and scabby. Meh. She said to keep them in for another 6 weeks. :frown:

Hopefully by then they'll be fine!

For salt soaks, i forgot to ask in Chioko, is it best to use cotton wool balls or pads for my ears? (I use a shot glass for my navel :tongue:

)

you probably wanna use kitchen paper cause cotton could leave fibres in the piercing

Micro dermals!!!

I got clavical micro dermals done about a month ago, they have like clear stones in them but one of them has dropped out, and i dont know where it is?!?
Is it possible to put new stones/gems in or do i have to cope with it being just metal and looking odd?

Just go and get the disc changed by your piercer.

I've got two, and they are both fine. I can do anything with my ears, and headphones aren't a problem at all. They don't hurt really.. well neither of mine have. :smile:

I'm having loads of trouble finding a nice jewellery box >< I need something which is wooden, has loads of compartments (but also bigger areas for plugs, tapers etc), but that has shallow layers, so that there isn't loads of wasted space. It's so difficult to find what you want though!

Oh, and i'm going to pierce my cartilage in a couple of days as well. One of my ears feels a bit naked at the moment.

Finally my lobes are growing.. 2.4 and 1.6mm. Obviously that's barely anything, but it's a nice feeling to know that i'm going to be at larger gauges soon :biggrin:

I'm just wondering, if I get a daith piercing, will this affect me getting on to a medicine course if i decide to do this later, even if i take it out ? (any advice about the piercing would be appreciated too :smile:

)

EDIT: I'm usually really conservative and I have had 2 lobe piercings but let the second ones close because I didn't like them anymore and I'm thinking of having a samll, thin bar in the daith.
