so i go to a super up tight private school right? and guys can't have any piercings. i'm at an 8g right now and i haven't been there very long. i'll be in school from about 8am to 12pm. is there anyway to keep them from shrinking up during those hours? is it alright to just pop em back in after?

What about wearing flesh tone plugs or clear plugs?

Does your hair cover your ears at all? If not, hider plugs and stuff like that are going to be pretty obvious. Probably not too bad at 8G, though... I don't think any teacher would notice unless you were right next to them.

Another alternative would be clear Kaos earskins. http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdeta ... 5&index=17 They might be tricky to get in at 8G, but they're designed to make your lobes look like you're not wearing jewelry. I'd recommend the 1/4" length ones unless your lobes are REALLY thick, because the more snugly they fit the less visible they'll be.

those are really cool! look like they'll take forever to get in. but if i do get them in i'm sure it'll be worth it. hopefully the teachers won't notice them. my hair is really short too. so it could just be a waste of money.

What i did with my ears when i couldnt have plugs in was i would pop em back in when i went to the bathroom then take em out when i came out. Every oppurtunity when i was outa sight i would just pop em in. U could do this. Just bring ur plugs with u. good luck =)

yeah thats actually what i've been doing. haha. i've only been going for two days now. but its getting rather old takin them in and out.

That's actually a pretty good idea... if you do this I'd take a small bottle of some type of oil (emu, jojoba, whatever) with you just in case they shrink and are hard to put back in.

i actually just kept the plug in and cut just a little piece of band aid and ironically it matched my skin color on the dot where even when u were next to me it was really hard to notice. but now i have 4g lobes and i dont have to hide them

This is a genius idea if you can get band-aids that closely match your skin tone. Cheap, easy, and safe since the adhesive isn't in your ear, just on the jewelry. I'm ashamed I didn't think of it.
