Companies selling tapers question:

If tapers are so bad to use, along with acrylic jewelry, then why do companies sell packs of tapers intended to wear as jewelry? :roll:
I feel like such a noob, because I don't have any piercings or tatts.

Have: The standard 20g, pierced with a gun, lobes.

Want: A couple tatts, 7/16 lobes maybe a lip piercing or two.

P.S. I'm an avid Harry Potter freak.

Re: Companies selling tapers question:

Because they were made by people who know nothing about stretching. And yeah, definitely to make money!
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
