just got my Medusa on Friday and new 1/2 inch iron cross plugs from a friend

 I love the philtrum piercing but the iron cross plugs looks as though it's too short for your ear...

my left lobe gets so pissy, so easily :[ it's been better since i switched to glass though.. i'm going to buy a few more cute pairs of plugs in 2g so i'm not tempted to stretch anytime soon! i'm gonna let my ears sit for a while (about six months i'm thinking). as long as i have some jewelry variety i'll be fine.

my industrial is in two pieces of jewelry now. i'm taking out the top one eventually, and keeping the bottom but putting a ring in it instead of the curved barbell. it gets wrapped up in my hair, and irritates the hell out of it. it's doing much, much better. it's kind of a daily battle, though.

also, a friend of mine is getting her septum done next month for her birthday at my piercer (!) and i think i'm going to stretch mine that day :] just need to come up with some extra cash.

Yesterday, while in the shower I took off my front o-rings to work some soap through my ears and then lost both of them in the shower drain, I was in too much of a hurry to go to the tattoo shop so I had to walk around without o-rings all day, which was fine until I was lying on the couch and the one in my right ear popped out. Luckily they have been in for close to two weeks and it slid right back in. Today my ears are secreting a lot of cheese, but my ears seem to always do so when I wear stainless steel.

Blegh, mine, too.  Do you have any glass plugs?  I've been wearing glass since I hurt my lobe, and they've really never felt better!  I don't know that I'll wear steel anymore...

 x3 on the cheese thing.  Steel plugs were always too heavy and stretched my ears unevenly I feel like.  The steel SF eyelets I'm wearing now are lightweight and feel great!

 I loved my DF 11/16's SS eyelets :D I don't know why I don't have any in my size. who's gonna be a pal?

I wish I had some single flare glass plugs, I was wanting to take advantage of the 20% off sale earlier this month but I have been low on funds and my ebay stuff has not been going for anything, hopfully the next time they have a sale I can take advantage of it. The main reason I wear steel is because of the poor person's stretching kit.

My nape piercing is doing good. Day 4 and feels like sunburn, though.

I really want a 6g/4mm tragus punch but I'm afraid. I'm not afraid of the process that much I'm just scared that the piercer will be a little bit slow and will cause a lot of pain!

 :(

 i dont have the cheese, but i have the smell in my septum. im wearing a glass plug, i miss my silicone jewelry up in there

good news is it doesnt smell unless i push on the tip of my nose to move the jewelry.

bad news is i "like" the smell and keep doing it hahaha CONSTANTLY

 And I thought occasionally smelling it from my lip/labret was bad.  Can't imagine how I'd put up with my septum smelling!

 u learn to quickly ignore it or love it!

 You have enough room for a 6/4g in your tragus?  (!)

you do learn to ignore it really quick, or just put up with it. it's not a constant
