Tip for inserting smaller gauge ear skins

[ViolentJayne]

Hi guys I am currently at 4 ga and have my first pair of skins ! i love them but the only problem is they are tricky to get in and sometimes by the time i get them to go in my lobes are a lil pink from all the fussing .. so i dont wear them often .. I know that people wear them in 10 ga and 8 ga .. so im wondering How the F do they get these things in so i watched a few tutes about tweezers and ouch it sounded dangerous but then I happened apon this blog .. I know what you guys are gonna think when she firsts mentions straws but read on .. i think in a fully healed stretch this would be fine .. and I an def gonna try to find some small straws and try it

maybe no flare steel tunnels could work for this to and be even better for your ears and a good pair of no flare steel tunnels is good to have on hand anyway ......

I tape the very ends of mine folded with ptfe tape twisting the excess tape, put them in and then pull the tape off. Usually I can do them with just my fingers though, now I dodn't have any stupid to get to ones; its just a bit of a fiddle/patience/practice.
I used to have to tape them onto tapers. Putting 8g ones UP your nose isn't that easy XD

I had earskins at 4G and it wasn't too bad... just roll them up as tightly as possible and put 'em though. Lube and a hot shower helps too!

My problem is I have long nails and once I fold them up they are hidden under my nails lol .. I got some no flare tunnels and tried her technique and it worked out great It cut my insertion time in half ! and I have a handy dandy pair of steel no flares now to

4 ga are deffinetly doable with out anything but this just makes it alot quicker and easier and i think its a great tip for those under 4 ga that wanna try ear skins

Lol 8g and 6g earskins are tricky to get in. I discovered I can put the on the end of a chopstick and then pop the end in like a regular plug and slide the chopstick out of the middle. Almost 0 effort that way. Lol

I def use a ton of luge but with them lubed up and my long nails they are slipping all over the place before I even get them up to my ear lol ... the tunnels really worked out great for Me It took like 30 sec to get them in and my ears didnt get rad or aggervated at all .. and like In said its good to have some no flare steels on hand anyway

TBH i gave up with silicone tunnels a while back and i cant get any ear skins from the only shop within a 2 hour drive (new zealand isnt really the place for piercings etc) so when ever i buy silicone tunnels i just push/pull the flare through
