Piercing question

[katelynross]

Ok i know this is a weird place to ask these kinds of questions but google isnt helping me at all and i just need an answer lol anywho

I was wondering if you can get a 2nd ear piercing when you have your first ear piercing stretched. My lobes are a 0g and idk if i gotta let them shrink in order to get my lobes pierced again. Any advice? Lol

No, I have 3 lobe piercings in each ear, one of which being a 00g stretcher. I've had no issues with lobe piercings and stretchers. They in my opinion do not interfere with any other piercings.

So i should take them out and let them shrink down to get a second piercing on my lobes or just pierce them when theye stretched lol

Is there anyone that could actually answer my question

You may want to try a piercing forum.

I've got my ears stretched to 0g and I have a second ear piercing^-^To be honest since it's pretty close, I'm not sure if someone is going to do it professionally (I did all mine myself) but you should have room to have a second hole pierced unless your gauges are up high Dx

Thanks i just wonder what theyd look like if i decide to take my gauges out like would the two be far apart? Ugh i still want it pierced lol

I have my first piercing stretched to a 0g and my second piercing is just a regular un-stretched one and they're a decent distance. I did have them double-pierced before stretching though.

I think it really depends on the size of your earlobes? Like some people have smaller lobes, some have detached lobes, some have attached lobes, etc etc... The best thing would probably be to actually ask a professional piercer for their expert opinion.

If there's a forum specializing in gauges that might be better..

They're not called gauges.....

A piercing passing along an infection to another piercing is the biggest issue but you shouldn't have that issue as long as the stretched portion is 100% healed at the time of the second piercing.

Just be sure that the location of the second piercing leaves a little room between the stretched portion and the new piercing mainly so that the jewelry doesn't rub against one another.

Otherwise, my tattoo artist has 8 piercings on one ear, 7 on the other, the main lobe being stretched on both. She's never had a problem.

That's what I've always heard them called, and that's what I'll call them.

Just because people do it, doesn't make it right.

And not all corn dogs are pogos. Oh well.

And while I'm rocking the boat, someone here must have or know someone they can ask with 1/2" gauges or bigger. My question is: What is your long term plan for work? You might not be able to keep your job forever, and very few employers hire 40+ year olds with mutiliated drooping earholes. Those big holes don't go away on their own, and according to google it's at MINIMUM $400 to fix each lobe (with that price from suspect surgeons)

A teacher at my school who is over forty has stretched lobes and tattoos and he isn't getting fired any time soon.

Since you used google to figure out how much it costs to fix close a stretched ear-lobe, you can also use google to figure out that very many successful and high-paying jobs allow body modification (basically everything which relies on a creative aspect rather than a stuck up tie wearing office aspect), and that body modification is becoming acceptable in workplaces across the globe.

But frankly, someone else's plans for the future is not your business and entirely unrelated to the question at hand.

Once I stuck a safety pin in my ear like the needle went through the whole ear and I used the safety pin as in earing. my ear started to bleed because they weren't peirced and i literally stabed a needle in there lmao

 

[Soot Sprite]

I used a saftey pin to peirce my septum a few years ago xD took it out, it hurt too much.-. Then I wised up and bought disposable needles for the rest of the piercings I did myself. I didn't stretch my own ears but I peirced my second hole myself after I had my ears stretched
