Piercings???? ^.^

[corazon_de_oro]

The reason thin jewelry migrates in cheek piercings is because they are so thick. A 14G shouldn't be THAT bad but getting a 16G would be a pretty stupid move. It's not like 12G is massive or anything... to be honest I don't think you'd even notice much of a difference between that and 14G. It won't leave a bigger scar because it's more likely to stay in place. It's not like I'm telling you that you should get a 00G hole punched in your face. But whatever, it's your piercing... just don't be surprised if they start migrating, especially if you think they're going to heal in a couple months (they're not).

I never say that they heal in a couple of months, why are you saying that.

[corazon_de_oro]

You said you had a friend whose cheeks healed in a couple months. That's not the point, though. The point is that you're acting like 12G is absolutely HUGE when it's only 0.4mm bigger than a 14G and will help your piercing stay in place.

Mag,
First, I log into this site to help people. If they have a question, I answer it to the best of my ability. I'm not here to get into petty arguments with teenagers who spend way too much time looking at photos on BME Zine.
Second, It's annoying that I have to read your posts 4 times before I can even comprehend what you are trying to say. Reading your posts is like reading a George W. Bush speech that was written by Yoda. I feel you belittle people on this site and I seriously doubt you even realize it. Writing 'haha' after something does not mean people will take it as a joke.

Sure I'll disregard what you say on stretching but it don't apply on other things.

Haha yep because everyone knows I have absolutely zero stretching experience and just pull all that information out of my ass. Not like I spent loads of time researching and talking to professional piercers or anything.

I'm french canadian. The day you will be able to write french correctly, you'll have the right to comment my writing abilities.

madame de pardon, il ne doit pas se sentir très bon être sur critiqué que vous savez beaucoup de

[magalo le matelot]

Ok, you can't stop using a translation website, because what you say isn't even called french.

I can almost tell what you write to get this result. Total fail! I wish you didn't really think it will work...

My French blows. Let me be the one to apologize on attacking your grammar, it was a low blow. It could explain a lot about your attitude though.

It's just a little ironic that you are currently busting heads with 2 people on this board who know what they are talking about. Ear stretching and body modification isn't some trend I jumped on last year because musicians made it popular. I have worked in tattoo shops for many years now, but my forearms and neck are free from ink... and that is my personal choice. I'm 28 years old and I still think I'm too young to do the Moko design I have wanted for years (maybe my 50th birthday).

corazon, you are awesome and your signature rings true. Just because your ears are not at 2" does not mean you don't know what you are talking about, you give the sanest advice on this board. it means YOU own your body and YOU do with it what YOU want. You actually remind me of myself. I was a teenager in the early 90's and saw my friends tattooing and piercing each other in basements. Even though I wanted tattoos and piercings, I decided to wait and get it done SAFELY, SANELY and above everything else, DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!
