Oh, I've seen it. It's super nasty too. I hunted down some horror stories last night that I think will keep it at bay for a while. Hubby is super cheap-o though and doesn't want to spend money on something I won't be using for a good long while. Wow I make him sound terrible. I've got a few pairs in ...

My left ear is all better! It feels super great. In fact it's felt fantastic for about a week now. It's still at an 8 while my right is happy at 6. Tell me horror stories so I won't be tempted to start taping too early and screw up my ear.

Don't irritate it, don't force, if you feel pain stop. Have you been doing vitamin e rubs at all or sea salt soaks? Some people find that using a water-based lube helps get a sticky taper through, but if you feel pain, please stop. The folks here are extremely helpful, I'm sure you'll find all the ...

I'm no expert, but that sounds like a dermal punch and the experts (from what I've read here) agree that those are a Bad Thing. My ears are lop-sided due to some tears in my left ear that picked up a small infection. I promise it'll be OK, just go slow and steady and you and your lobes will be happy ...

A quick google image search was enough to convince me to listen to people who have been at this longer than me. I can't find the pic that set me down the path of righteousness, but safe to say it was heinous. Like a rotten bit of rawhide wrapped around a piece of cork.

I hadn't intended to... It's just sort of happened. It looks nice, and seems like the thing I need to do. I don't ever see me getting to the really huge sizes though. I'd like to stop around 0 or 00 since the jewelry options are really nice there and I think it would suit my ears.

I just want to say Thank You! You guys are awesome. If I have a question I can usually find a wealth of non-contradictory information with minimal digging. My right ear is today a happy 6 and the left... Well I think I buggered that up either in my sleep or swimming. But thanks to you all I know ...

I've been doing my research and trying my best to do this the right way. I'll admit to having made some mistakes, but I back down and start over as soon as I realize what's happened. I've heard conflicting stories on the "pain" issue. I've heard that slight discomfort and burning is normal, I've ...

Hello! I'm Nikki. I'm new-is to this but there seems to be a wealth of great information all over these forums. So, about my ears. They are pierced 3 times on the right and 4 on the left with the 4th being a cartilage that was done improperly with a gun and that I'm hoping to have done right when I ...
