Idunno... I just like black i guess...
Thanks, yeah I got that one about a year or so after my daughter was born.
I like both B/W and color tats, my sleeve is gonna be somewht of a mixture of the two.
I like the "new school" angel/devil designs, specially when you get an artist that specializes in that type of stuff...Like betty page in a devil outfit, when done right it looks fantastic!!!
Something like this (not mine, found it on Google)

Mine looks similiar but mine is standing up and has fir coming up from under her feet...

Trust me its not that bad... yet
I think I went from 12 to 8g... Once you get to a bigger size, the guage size is a bigger increase. like 10 to 8 is not the same size increase as 6 to 4.
PS. going to 00g SUCKS.
Already sounds exciting LOL. Since I got my ears pierced again with those two other holes, I imagine that stretching might not hurt as bad, cuz when I got my ears pierced again it hurt pretty bad . Maybe she was doing it too hard? Because I know that wasn't supposed to hurt that bad.

I heard about taking a hot shower before stretching helps the skin stretch a lot more so it won't hurt as bad, did you try that? Once I get to the larger sizes I think that's what I'm going to start doing when I'm getting into the larger sizes.
I might go for like 6 at most unless I wanna go bigger if I think 6 is too small. It all sort of depends because of how close the stretching gets to my 2nd ear piercings, don't wanna rip anything .

I did some stretching IN the hot shower lol. Also coacoa butter lotion works and piercing/gauging websites/stores usually have special "stretching oil".
Like bodyartforms.com sells emu oil. That stuff was Awesome. I dont have any left, but it worked great for healing/lubricating tapers for stretching and keeping the skin hydrated.

I'm a professional piercer, if you're going to STRETCH your ears go see a piercer. They'll usually only charge you a minimum fee (like $5) and they'll know if your ears are ready to be stretched or not. Way too many people stretch too soon and end up tearing their ears which causes scar tissue making it harder to stretch. Stretching should only cause a slight burning sensation, it shouldn't bleed or hurt terribly.
I only have 3 piercings now (nose, 6g conch and 6g prince albert) but at one point I had over 30 or so. I'm covered in tattoos from my head to my feet.
As for the comments about bleeding during a tattoo... everyones body reacts different. Some customers bleed more than others, some body parts will bleed more than others, you never really know what's going to happen.
PS. some of the people in here need to research before getting tattooed... lots of poorly done stuff.

I've never really seen a need to go to a professional just to stretch, to scalpel straight up to a certain size, yes, but if you read the care guides on the major tat/piercing sites they will give you proper information. A lot of times you can just get info from a piercer, they usually have no issue guiding you along if you choose to do the stretching yourself.
Of course it's never recommended to stretch while a piercing is still healing, you always need for it to be fully healed and DO NOT RUSH IT. If it hurts you're doing it wrong and will do damage, end up with scar tissue and possibly even worse a blow out(not pretty).

Re: Plugs, Tattoos, & Piercings Thread
Some wicked tats on here! LOVE the Indian ornamental tarantula.
Eventually I'll be getting tongue and nose piercings, plus a tattoo of mojave markings down my spine (only tattoo idea I've had for more than two years, so only one I'm comfortable making plans on )
