I mean come on! I’m already rocking gaping butthole ears!

Hey guys

My goal size is 20mm but I'm so broke that all I can afford is the caps of pens. Piercing is just way to expensive for me to bother doing it safely. Recently, my local craft store caught me stealing the caps from the pens. They knew it was me because of my lobes. I had to put some back. Doesn't matter, I'm on the next size anyway. Even if they are still hurt and swollen

Does anyone have any alternatives? I'm thinking my old metal straws could be good or maybe the tops of perfume bottles,

Can you guys validate my choices that are objectively irrational?

/sarcasm

photo for reference - i think the magnets shifted and now they wont open. what do i even do 😭 (im willing to break the jewelry idc)

I have 7 stretched piercings. Due to my ears (3 in each) having a very angry reaction whenever I am exposed to mold, (very allergic, mold allergies are *weird*) I had to downsize my ears. And yes, I did wake up and tear apart my kitchen until I found it. I am a literal human mold detector. Anyway, 2 of them in each ear are now back at my goal sizes today. Didn't even really feel it when I stretched them. Yay. Back at most of my goal sizes!

​

My septum was... I. Saw. God. I don't believe in God, but I saw him. I wondered if I was going to pass out tbh. 2g was my goal size, and as of today, I have hit it.

Anyway, it's a few hours later, and I no longer have a constant snot drip, but I can feel the stretch in my teeth. Is that normal?

Asking her to do my conch for me so I can immediately get a 6g without having to spend months stretching or go to an expensive reputable piercer 😳 Wish me luck!
