    They can make custom lengths AND flare sizes. :)  I believe the standard wearable area (length between the flares) is 3/8".

    1/2" earlobes

    Sooooo I have a question.

    Of course I've been eyeing up super blings--they're totally sweet!  And I know that I'd want titanium super blings to add that level of awesome.  BUT.  I can't for the life of me find the master gem list! There's no real complete list of center gems and rim gems, and no color chart for the cabs . . . maybe I'm missing something?  I've read most of this thread, and the stuff here is GORGEOUS, but I want to start making my own and I'm stymied!

     Maybe the cabs aren't technically offered yet or something? 

    Current mods:
    4 tattoos (back, each foot, ribs) + lobes, 1/2" + right nostril, 18g + left nipple, 14g + left inner conch, 10g + left helix, 12g + sublingual frenectomy (tongue web snipped!)

    Barry, I was wondering if rainbow Ti is always colored like this: http://www.anatometal.com/jewelry/BAF/IMG_9913SMALL.jpg or if I have to make note that I want it done like that when I order my eyelets.
    Current: rook, both inner conches, 6g second holes, 00g first holes, four tattoos, left and right side monroes

    In The Future: 2g second lobes, nape microdermalsx3, undecided amount of tattoos, and (possibly) a septum.

    I'm not Barry, but I do work there and can answer this...

    Rainbow is not an exact science by any means when it comes to anodizing...  So if you're asking if the colors will be exactly the same, the answer is no.  :(  But it'll still be rainbow, whatever it is!

    Barry-

    Could spirals be special ordered for diameter and gap spacing? I'm looking for a custom piece for a pair of daiths.

    No, I understand that all Ti is colored differently, since it's done individually. I meant how the ti is done all splotchy (terrible way of describing, I know) since all I've ever seen of rainbow ti is straight bands of solid color

    I think you might be referring to the style called "oilslick" ?

    Ooooh!  I'm sorry.  I misunderstood what you were asking.  He (the anodizing fellow) wanted to get as many colors on the flare as possible, given that it was the most of what people were going to see.  If you were to put something like "as many colors as possible" on a pair of titanium eyelets, you would end up with something like that.  Otherwise, he'll do it his way, which generally works out to something beautiful.  So no, rainbow is not always done that way, and I hope this actually answers your question this time!!

    Malarky (or Barry):

    Would it be possible to make different-colored-striped titanium blings? Like this:

    If so, what would be the maximum number of different colors allowed, and would the buyer be able to choose how many stripes went on the eyelets? 

    1/2" earlobes

    As awesome as this option would be, I'd have to say no... The way stripes are done is usually by taping the part of the titanium that you plan on 'striping' in after coloring.  The way you have your picture, you would have to put tape under the stones, which is, unfortunately, impossible :(  At the most, you might be able to stripe it the other direction, but it would be hidden by your ear anyway, and the inside is likely not do-able.

    At this time, Anatometal is not offering custom spirals, due to the way they are made (bent by hand).  Sorry :(  Pretty much anything else can be made custom lengths though, if that's any consolation!!

    Thanks for the answer. The only thing I really would like in a custom size is a 16 gauge curved barbell in 3/16" length. Unfortunately, I think Barry said this isn't possible through Anatometal. :/

     Hey, I was just wondering if Anatometal has patents on Super Blings... Hot Topic stocked some that look 100% just like them.

    Look at IAM for current mod list

    i get to tatoo and pierce and stuff you then.

    Where, exactly? Because if you're talking about these or these, which are the only "bling" plugs on the Hot Topic website right now, I don't see how either of those look "100% like" Anatometal's superblings. There are no gems on the outer edge of the flare.

    On the other hand, they ARE blatantly ripping off Little7's caduceus and cthulu designs here

    Go Malarky!

     

    We do in fact have a patent (pending) on the "Superbling" eyelets, even the way they are set.

    What did I miss? (sorry I have been just about everywhere in the last 6 weeks, with two more weeks to go).
