Apparently not. It's a shame, because the place I went to has a good reputation, and I've had all of my piercings done there with no complications. All I asked was that she pierce them a bit of a distance from my primary lobe piercings. One of them was alright, but I didn't want to just keep one in ...

Ah, I ended up taking them out last night. :( I was out with my friends and one of them was like "...uh hey your ear is bleeding." And lo' and behold... there was blood literally dripping from the left one, so I had to skitter off to the bathroom and try to subdue it with paper towel and take it out ...

If it is infected, the sea salt soaks will help a lot to soothe it. Is it red or hot to the touch?

It's your life, do what you want. Though if you're straight and you've got purple nails, you might give people you're trying to attract the wrong message. Nothin' wrong with being gay, but it still sucks when people think you're something you're not.

:lol: Thank you. I've had other piercings bruise before (my nipples bruised like hell... they looked like they'd been involved in gang-related violence), but I'm super paranoid about my ears, for whatever reason... I just wanted some peace of mind, I think. The stem of the jewelry I've got in them ...

Hi guys.

I got my lobes pierced the other day beside my existing piercings, and they seemed to be doing alright. I've been using sea salt soaks on them, but tonight I've noticed some fairly intense bruising around the back of the new piercings that I'm kind of worried about. The skin around the ...

8g to 6g is tricky enough, let alone 8g to 4g, so I have no idea how you did that without it being troublesome! :o Definitely a smart move downsizing... I think lots of us are lucky that we found the forum before we ran rampant and messed our earlobes up. There's just too much conflicting ...

Oh, I'm definitely not going any bigger than 0g... my earlobes are small as, even an 8g plug looks kind of big in them.

I got my ears pierced, just at 16g, because I didn't have the option to pierce at 8g unfortunately. The only reputable, clean place here doesn't do them at a large gauge, so I've ...

I was only planning on stretching the first lobe piercings to 0g, since I couldn't go any bigger with my job, so hopefully not so much that they'll shift the other piercings around. I don't have huge earlobes, either, so I probably couldn't go any bigger than 0g.

Hi guys!

I got a really pretty pair of 8g plugs for Christmas from my boyfriend, but I'll be stretching to 6g in a couple of weeks so they're not going to get a whole lot of wear... I was surprised because he doesn't really like that I'm stretching my ears and knows less than nothing about gauges ...
