Of course I'm now rocking a tunnel! Technically it is a tunnel, I have to justify that as you can't see through it really.

I have no idea what size I started at, but I went up in jewelry sizes the hard way. Last thing I did was ram a 1.6mm horseshoe in both holes, relatively pain free! That meant I ...

Made the purchase, waited a while, 2mm taper went in today. Wish me luck! :D

Wood isn't too bad, but if you have the money for a pair of plugs just for sports and running, its ...

Thanks for that, glad to know people out there are helpful to noobs haha.

Do you know any sites where I can get a set of steel tapers 2mm and up?

Hey people, complete noob here so bear with me and any helpful advice is appreriated :)

I'm looking at starting to move up the scale (goal of 8mm) by using acrylic tapers and plugs. ** This is simply because I've seen full kits of tapers and plugs online and I want to buy a few to keep things going ...
