hey there,

I just have a few questions about using PTFE Taping. I started taping my lobes which at the time were 4g but within a week i taped to a 2g. i was doing 2 wraps everyday/every few days. Did i tape to fast? i read on different sites that you can wrap a layer or two a day, To much? also I'm ...

I got pierced at 8g a little over 3 months ago. My ears feel pretty healed. I can tug directly on the piercings with no pain. Although if i push with some force i feel a little bit of a tenderness sensation on one of the piercing's. overall they feel quite healthy.

hey guys,

i'm wondering what type of jewelry is easiest to stretch with. e.g... easiest to get in after a stretch with least amount of effort. Glass or surgical steel?

thanks again
