havenots26,
They are 3/4... well, the other one is a little smaller because it has "cats a$$" syndrome; I've had to stop stretching the left one at 3/4 a few years ago because the right is having too much trouble catching up. I've been stretching them since '95.

Them and us,
Hehehe... they prolly look like 1" 'compared to my teeny tiny self I want to stop at 1", and should've reached that size a long time ago if my right ear wasn't such a .......

mike,
hehehe thanks

Whats "cat's a$$ syndrome"?

[Linds]

When there is trauma to the ear and the scar tissue prevents is from stretching - this is (for obvious reasons now ) commonly referred to in the piercing community as "Cat's a$$ syndrome". A long time ago I bought a new plug and the piercer offered to put it in for me, so I figured sure why not, well didn't he just scrape the inside of my ear out in the process That was the end of that......my ear has virtually no give to it at all

[rattekonigin]

I have my tongue pierced and normal piercings in each ear as well as a surface eyebrow piercing...
As for tattoos, I have none. I've put in several years of thought into what I want to get, but I think I'll consider it for a while longer, at least until I get enough money to be able to afford to get it done well...for something so permanent, I want to make sure I pick a design that I'll still like in 20 years.



Pixie: Did you get your tribal cover up done at Imago? I could swear I saw it in their portfolio...

[Them and Us]

yeah linds I guess they do look like 3/4. I'm stopping at 3/4 i think. i had cats a$$ syndrome at like a 6 guage ha and ended up basically scraping it out and bleeding all over. i stopped just shoving bigger guages through. that hurt too much. i started wrapping electrical tape around my 6's and gradually moved up. my latest pair i made myself. 1/2" wooden dowels painted black and then sealed with polyeurethane. i like em. and it was like 4 bucks as opposed to spending 40 for store bought. i also used the rest of the dowel or my snake cages. i basically had to re pierce my labret today. i had taken it out because of my job and lost it for like 2 months and i just found it today and shoved it through haha, I'll wait and get a ring again. luckily it never fully healed so it feels fine now. but man did that tickle at first.

Rattlekonigin: I got my tribal piece done at "Tattomania" by Pierre in Montreal. I know of "Imago" and have heard they do good work but I'm a faithful Pierre follower now. You should have seen what was under the tribal piece, it's a miracle he was able to do such a great job. I believe my cover up is in Pierre's portfolio book, maybe you saw it there?

[rattekonigin]

It's entirely possible. I'm almost positive I saw it in a portfolio somewhere, yours or something very much like it.

I felt a little lop-sided so I figured I should balance myself out and get this on my right shoulder!
