Gorilla Glass Hoops!

They're 0g. I'm really happy with the size of them. I wanted something that was a good size,but not huge. I like them so well I wouldn't mind getting a pair in honey, though in this more rounded style,on BAF anyway,they only seem to have black,clear,& ocean. But in the style where it's more flattened at the bottom like the photo of the girl w/the one in her conch,they have them in honey,& the other colors too. But they're a great price for what you're getting. I also really, really love those GWS clear honeycomb plugs I got-they're amazing,& I've worn them every day since I got them. I keep thinking they're my first GWS,but I keep forgetting about those plain no flare clear tunnels I had at 1/2". But they were just a simple pair & didn't have a design. But anyway,I was really impressed with how nice they were, & so crystal clear. The only thing is the back flare is really small. Everyone kept saying how huge they thought the flares were in the reviews,but I didn't think so.Maybe it's just my pair.No biggie though,I just put an o-ring on the back. They somehow look like they're lit from within,& actually, my bf said it looked like I had LED lights in my ears

But I'm looking forward to that sale too! I saw these awesome plugs on GWS's FB page,& they're not available on BAF yet .
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid= ... =3&theater With my luck,they probably will be right after the sale.I've always loved anything with scarabs on them & my mom used to have one of those bracelets where they carve the stones to look like scarabs & it reminds me of that. But the next sale is April 6-7,so maybe by then.I've never pre-ordered anything before,but I would with these.

those gg captives look really good on you thru the earskins

Sorry I've been taking forever to come back to this thread, I'm been soooo busy with homework. Did you get anything in the BAF sale? I got an opalite end for one of my Neometal labrets for my nostrils since I had bought one from someone on JE a while ago, and a pair of sea blue pearl earskins. I still had $3.99 in order credit so I was going to try to find a cheap pair of acrylic or steel plugs and pay the difference but I didn't really see anything I wanted so I decided to save the order credit.

I really think I want to go to 5/8", so I don't think I'm going to get too much in 1/2". I'm already trying to sell a couple things on JE that I don't absolutely love so I can save up to get bigger plugs.

Yeah,I ended up getting the snakes & the concave faux turquoise ones.I didn't have quite enough to get the earkskins too.But I can just wear the snakes with my white earskins for now.The next sale is Apr 6-7,so maybe I'll pick them up then. Although lately,I've been thinking about bringing back my septum piercing.I know it's definitely closed,it's been over 10yrs since I had anything in there.At the time,I was convinced it didn't look good.But looking back,I think that it may not have been the piercing, & more the jewelry.Back then,you just didn't have the choices you do now with jewelry,so there was literally a choice of maybe a cbr and a horseshoe, in one diameter, & that was it.And whatever that standard size diameter is for that type of jewelry, it kind of hangs down alot.In recent years,I've been noticing girls wearing much shorter rings & horseshoes,& I think it looks alot better.I don't exactly have the smallest nose in the world,but I think that that 'standard' diameter is just kind of large for alot of girls faces.If I did it,I'd have to get it pierced w/a retainer,so I'd need jewelry.I thought of it when I got those ocean GG cbr's-I was thinking about how a little ocean colored pincher would look,like in a 10g, or 8g.

You'll probably need 9/16" stuff by the next sale anyway. But they'll likely ship my order tomorrow,so hopefully by the end of the week it'll be here

Did you get those snakes yet? I bet they're really cool. I got my BAF order a couple days ago, all I got was another opal Neometal end and sea blue pearl earskins I put the earskins in and my lobes looked huge, but I still think I'm gonna stretch bigger. It will be a while since I have no money, haha.
Yeah I used to feel the same way about septum piercings, I didn't like them because I had mostly only seen people wear really oversized jewelry. I wear a tiny 14G circular barbell with a 1/4" diameter and 3mm balls. I also have a really little 14G pincher for it that looks even smaller.

Yeah, the snakes came last week & I really love them! I'm glad I ended up getting them-they're really not nearly as impractical as I was thinking they'd be, & I've actually worn them quite alot since I got them. But they're perfectly matched & the glass is really so much prettier in person. I got those cheap concave turquoise ones too, I've worn them alot lately too. They were a good buy,& I really like how they're concave. I'm hoping to get a few extra bucks before the next sale-there's a few pairs I really want,& they're inexpensive,but when there's a few that you want, it adds up. They're these ones, http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdeta ... ctID=13391 and then they have a steel style with owls,& I love owls,& they do have wood owl ones,but I was always afraid the details wouldn't show well at my size,& I think they will in the steel. And I love those compass ones-usually I go for more simple stuff,but something about them I just really like. And then I want some Kaos,the sea blue like yours & clear for my snakes.Although I've just been using my white ones w/them & it looks fine. But I really love the snakes,& I'm hoping down the road to get those Mullosk ones Somatic has-actually, if you order directly off Somatic's site, you can get the styles up to 5/8". But these are the snakes through the earskins:

those are awesome. they look like baby vipers thru your lobes. im ready to get to 5/8 so i can buy some nice concave plugs. onetribe has started making a new wood style called crater plugs and they have a really deep concave that looks really good

[akPhilly]

Yeah,I really love concave styles-I took a look at Onetribe, they have some beautiful things. I hadn't been on that site for quite some time-I was under the impression that all their stuff was a fortune, which they do have some pretty expensive pieces,but they also have many reasonable ones as well. I really love those crater ones, & I liked their mayan flare tunnels. Their wooden rings are beautiful too, but pretty expensive. But the faux turquoise ones I got from BAF were under $15, & I like them alot. I think that concave styles somehow will end up looking larger in your ear than a similar flat or domed style. BAF also has these concave hematite ones I really want,but they've been sold out of my size for a long time . But these are the real inexpensive ones I got from BAF:

yeh the concave really does make them look bigger. onetribe is very nice quality but they are pretty expensive. their wood isnt too bad tho and i will definatly be getting those crater plugs when i get to 5/8. i like hematite because of the weight of them, im ordering some soon to help me naturally stretch. i dont know which company i want to get them from tho because i bought some black agate from diablo and the flare is way to small. my 1/2 galaxies look bigger than my 9/16 diablos stone

[corazon_de_oro]

Those snakes are badass! The concave plugs are too.
I think I do want to go up to 5/8". Plugs just look so much better at that size. And spirals already seem a little too big at 1/2" so I'm not really missing out... The only problem is I won't have the money to get a collection going for a while so I'll probably still be at 1/2" for another several months. I probably won't get much in 9/16", probably just a couple pairs. How were the 1/2" to 9/16" and 9/16" to 5/8" stretches for you guys?
