    I've tried them all. Wood, plastic, metal....No good. I've tried cleaning them everyday and sleeping without them in, but as soon as I try to get them past 8mm [don't know gauge sizes] they look horrific always weeping and crusty and the smell is bad. When they do blow out I take them out and let them right themselves and they shrink to 5mm and I have to start the whole process again.. Once I got my left lobe to accept a 9mm and well 2 days later it blew out. Grrrrrrrr.

    thats just weird, I get ear jam but thats pretty much it, I id get up to just over 00g about 23 mm, lost my job (not cos of that) and had to shrink it to find another job , i did try to shrink it all the way, left it out for a year and it only went down to 5 mm, now it's back up to 10mm (0g)

    I'm so jealous of you swampy. I can has your ears? Mail them to me. I can mail you mine and you can train them up for me. Send them via special delivery though, can't trust the pilfering royal mailers these days.

    Maybe its cus you don't sleep with them in? Maybe they shrink a mm or two then when you put them back in in the morning they have to get comfy again.. if that makes sense xD Did you dead stretch (push the taper straight through from like 3mm to 5mm) or do it gradually (get a 5mm spiral and let the 3mm get comfy over a week or two for it to get up to 5)?

    I've tried sleeping with them in too, cleaning them every day and then taking them out once a week while I have a bath, massaging them etc etc. You name it I tried it.

    I stretched mm by mm every 8 weeks so I'd put in 4mm then 8 weeks later I'd go up to 5mm etc. Now the smaller millimetres have caused me no problems but I used to have issues getting past 6mm 4 years ago but 8mm is the point where they scream no more and blow out.

    I have dead stretched in the past below 6mm but after 6mm I used spirals and tapers but they still blow out. I think I should take the past 6 years as a sign that I can't stretch my lobes.

    :O Blimey hdh :( :S Shame your ears don't like it :(

    I had a bit of a play last night. (Pic) The blue barbell is the one I pierced last night, the silver ring is the one I pierced about a year ago I think, the white spiral I had just stretched up (scuse the gunk!) and the mess of colour is the not-quite-5mm stretch. I couldn't put the spiral in, so got bored and stuck a load of long barbells in there xD

    That pic makes me sad and jealous. But, on the upside, I found a gorgeous vintage pair of earrings that I can put in when they heal. I think I want to take my lip piercing out too. I'm just not into piercings like I used to be. I dunno whether it's a phase so I might keep the hole open but not wear any liprings.

    Awww swampy :]

    My tongue ring messed up a lot of my teeth. That was the end of my piercing history. It made my gums recede very bad in my front bottom teeth, as well as damaging adn weakening my molars. :( :( I had it in for three years I think, maybe four. Wahh.... Actually, I want to get my ears big, but that went kaplewy when I boiled the acrylic earrings I bought.

    LMAO Apparently I chew mine in my sleep. I really worry about this. Don't want to grind my yellow brittush teef down. My husband keeps getting at me to take it out. But that makes me want to keep it in rebellion. But I don't want it anymoar and I dunno what ter do about this.

    Cleaned and did laundry all day, Now going to eat dinner then take a Vicodin, have some plum wine and play video games with the hubby for the rest of the night or till 11pm then watch the meteor shower. Then its work and homework all day tomorrow!

    Oh and all my piercings are getting taken out for work kind of bummed, so i dont have anything anymore. my eyebrow I can keep but its a pain to put back on and take off so i will prolly just be bare, and its weird because i have had piercings since i was 14.. Oh well at least i get to keep the dreads!

    I've had a tounge ring for over a year and only chomped down on it once.
    The dentist can't see any noticable damage

    Its a Pain killer thats is fairly easy to get, Doctors just prescribe them for major back pain, pulled muscles things like that. So there easy to get, My hubbys ma has a bunch from two of her accidents one she broke her arm, the other she fell on ice. She doesnt like them well cuz they mess you up. So i grab a couple from her once a month. It makes you feel really good, for me it make me really hyper for the first half, then just really relaxed and feeling good the second half. I use to have a ton of them, but then i got off because i didnt want to become an addict! So now just take one here and there..

    I've never understood the appeal with painkillers I don't they are so easily available over here.

    So they relax you? Is it like weed?
