gauged jewelry, anyone?

[osaraba]

So... you guys have first dibs! Whatever's left will get posted on gaugetrade, I guess.

All the CBRs, plugs, and tapers are FREE!
Please, just take them; I want to clear out the space in my jewelry box!

As for the rest, shipping is included in the asking price:

4.5mm wood talons $6
4g stainless steel talons $6
6g glass dichro rainbow spirals $20
(These rainbow spirals have never been worn, still have the box they came in, originally cost $35.)

OKAY. So I'm going to do a bunch more proper research nowww, but could I potentially call dibs on the 18/12/10gs?

How long did it take you to get from a standard piercing to your current gauge?

[osaraba]

YES DEFINITELY. They are all yours! <333 I'll take another look to see if I've got anything else in the smaller sizes -- I could've sworn I had some 14g CBRs around somewhere -- and if I do, I'll put that in the envelope for you. Just email me your address! =D

Uhhhhh, it's hard to answer that second question. I started stretching my first holes (which were pierced originally when I was 12) when I was maybe 19? [ETA: Oh yeah, and I'm 30 now, so approx 11 years and 3 years of that was when I stayed at 6ga because I just wore glass plugs to work every day and they are suuuuper light.] But I took waaaaaaaay longer to go from size to size than you really have to and it was mostly because I'd just stretch whenever I felt the urge to get another ear piercing because it was all sore and basically took the place of getting another piercing without the cost. I mean, I realized pretty quickly that I only had a certain amount of space on my ears, you know? So I had to pace myself. Um, why no, I don't have... a pain/piercing fetish or anything.... Um.

In a general sense it's recommended that you wait at least a month between stretches. But I know that (even past a month) my ears' sensitivity have flared if I randomly slept wrong on my jewelry, and I took that as an indication that they weren't completely healed. So, I'd just go with at least a month between stretches, but also whatever feels right thereafter.

BTW, clearly I am totally cool with answering questions regarding stretching if you ever need it -- even after you do more proper research. <3

"I'd just stretch whenever I felt the urge to get another ear piercing because it was all sore and basically took the place of getting another piercing without the cost."

THIS IS MORE OR LESS WHAT IS REALLY PIQUING MY INTEREST. :| Can't afford the tattoos, can afford but can't justify the industrial I want to re-pierce, aaaaand I figure I can do the majority of the initial stretching without actually spending much money at all. I just need the piercing ache back, okay. /0\ My tongue healed too damn fast.

I am likely going to bug the shit out of you once I get my bearings enough to start. :D

[osaraba]

YES THAT ACHE. IT HURTS SO GOOD.

...you know that oral and genital piercings heal fastest because of the amount of blood flow to those areas is higher than other areas?

Yeah, I remember a lot from when I started researching piercings way back when.

BUG ME BUG ME. ILU. =D
