so i have my rook done on one of my ears and its lonely
what looks good with rooks - I was considering conch, or anti tragus?

Funny, I was considering a rook to go with my conch :p:

So obviously, I'm going to say conch.

Bah, I wanna stretch my lobes a little, just because I loooove the wooden and glass spirals you can get. I don't ever wear earrings, so it wouldn't pose a problem really.. but something's holding me back, I have no idea what. Give me stories and advice on stretching, please! Anything!

I didn't think it hurt a whole lot, but it varies between everyone I suppose. Just hurts most when the jewellery goes in rather than the actual piercing, which seems to be the case with most people! I can still wear earphones with mine which i'm pretty thankful for, but obviously they (should) will check the placement with you before they go on with the piercing, so try and get a rough idea of where your earphones sit I guess!

If I get a tongue piercing and put in a plastic barbell will it still chip away and erode my teeth?

What are you getting done? I'm sure you've no need to be nervous!

It's kinda sad but it's the blink 182 smiley face from the album cover without the colours (I did want them doing in UV but have heard some horror stories lately that have put me off that idea)

Ahhh, good to hear. Everything I read just seems to be like.. OMG BLOWOUTS! etc. How long do you tend to wait between stretches?

Its been recommended that you wait about 4 weeks but when i started stretching i wasn't waiting that long but now its a bit bigger i am. I'm in no rush. The website piercing jewellery online doesn't charge P&P so it keeps costs down. I am only at 3mm atm but onwards and upwards!

Itching to stretch again; haven't touched right lobe since I got up to 4mm at the end of July, which just seems too long ago now!!! Left lobe's been at 4mm for about 3/4 weeks now, I think, and is feeling fine. Sadly, can't afford the glass tunnels I want, even tho they're only £7 each :frown:

Must wait till payday next week!

Hey. Just wondering, has anyone treated their hair with the L'Oreal X-Tenso straightening system. I'm considering trying it out :s-smilie:

My stretching has been fine :smile:

I'd recommended longer than 4 weeks though - I usually say 6-8 weeks as a minimum. I doubt many of my stretches would've been problem-free at 4 weeks. It took me a year and a half to get to 1/2" (approx 13mm) and I've been there for...quite a while, now. About 2.5 years. No blowouts, tears, bleeding, etc. Just make sure you always use lube, never skip sizes and never force it. PTFE tape or bondage tape is also a great way to stretch gradually, just wrap 1-3 layers around your plugs every few days until you're at the next size.

Small gauge glass and organic hangies are beautiful, sometimes I wish I stopped at 3-4mm so I could take advantage of them! I have 1 pair of spirals in my size but I don't really wear them, I think they look too bulky now. :frown:

Awesome, thanks for the advice! As impatient as I am, I'd rather take the necessary time than ending up tearing them and having to downsize or whatever. I'm not really sure how large I want to go, but I'm more interested in wearing the glass and organic spirals and such, which I do think look better at a relatively small size. Maybe 5mm, or a little larger, I guess i'll see once I get to those sizes and decide what'll be best.
