stretched my flesh holes up again..

weesmurfeh:

I’m in so much fucking pain, eeeeeeeugh.

That’s a new one. Never heard stretched lobes being called ‘flesh holes’ before. Technically a pore is a ‘flesh hole’, as are my nostrils, urethra, anus, ear canals, tear ducts. 

I mean, pain is understandable if you’re trying to stretch your tear ducts, but stretching your ear lobes should never, ever hurt.

Ever.

I suggest reading up on correct and safe stretching methods, and your ears will love you for it.

letyour-troublesfade: Took a lovely trip to the ER yesterday. Forever in the ER \m/. My belly piercing is infected. It was looking so gross yesterday, it was oozing and the area around the hole was bright red, theres an abcess in it. The doctors wanted to take it out but I’ve read a thousand times to not do that because the infection will be harbored under the skin when the hole closes up and with the ring in, the infection can make its way to the outside of the skin through the pierced hole, so i said no lol. Now I have a million antibiotics and creams and ointments. The top hole is about triple the size it should be from the infection and all the bandages are pushing the ring up so the top ball doesnt sink into the hole, but its looking better today, thank god. I’m the cutest girl ever. P.S. The picture does not do any justice as to how red and nasty the top hole really is lol Seriously, well done for going to an ER and seeking medical attention. Piercing infections are rare, but can be very serious if not caught in time. You’re also doing the right thing to keep the jewellery in, as it allows an ‘exit’ for any draining fluid from the infected abscess, whereas removing jewellery seals off this all important exit for any nasty fluid. Kudos for not letting this get any worse! (AKA well done for seeking medical attention and preventing an awful modification!)

I Just dug out the back of an earring through my cartilage piercin.

jessica-gabrielle:

It hurt like HELL. It’s still bleeding too. This picture was taken while the back of the earring was in my ear. In the picture, the white stuff is the back of the earring.

WHY WE DON’T FUCKING USE A FUCKING GUN TO PIERCE ANY PART OF OUR FUCKING BODIES INCLUDING OUR FUCKING LOBES. IT IS NOT SAFE, OR STERILE.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ANGRY BROADCAST.

Gauge the No Pain

lindradanell:

I’m gauging my ears and I started a while ago and it’s been pretty easy, I mean don’t get me wrong there were times it hurt but not as bad as trying to get to 0 OUCH!
My boyfriend has been bugging the shit out of me to hurry up and gauge up but I haven’t been wanting to and then finally I tried about twoeks ago and I got through tapering one and it hurt so damn bad that I was on the floor wanting to cry, kick and scream! I was never able to get the flare in my ear and with all the pain of trying to get it in my ear I gave up and threw it all across the room cause I was so pissed and in pain lol. Mr.Carlos just suggested to me the other night about the measurements of the gauges and how there is such a jump between two and zero and since he is an aircraft mechanic teehee there’s two sizes of hillocks that will help me to get to zero without having to go through all that pain.
I took him up on his offer and now I’m sitting here with airplane hillocks in my ears lol, I feel silly but whatever works right?

Sweet baby Jesus.
