What's the deal on "not spinning" your earrings??

I just recently read a post where they said it was bad to spin your earrings while they are in your ear. I've always heard that you should, or at least i've never heard anything against it. What does it do that is bad for your ears? By the way, i have 00g earrings, if that helps. -Ryan

bio-oil and my gauges

I've been using bio-oil to bring a bit of moisture back to my ears after they had an allergic reaction to my o-rings. I'm thinking about using them for an oil massage, but before I do that... Has anyone heard any negative things about using bio-oil?
