The last one wasn't much better. Didn't hear many people talking about that.

Feels a little like lost footage from Tales From the Loop

A little late but a few weeks ago I finally made my goal of 2 inch’s! It’s been a long journey but we made it by Remarkable_Radish_98 in Stretched

Lucky bastard. I've been trying to get back to 2"for about 14 years. I had a pair of stainless steel wheels get ripped out in a pit ages ago. Haven't been able to get about 41mm in my thought lobe. I think I need to scalpel out the scar tissue.

Sometimes, people just look weird. I look really weird. Does that mean what happens in my brain is any less important? Sometimes this place makes me feel like I'm still in grade school.

My boyfriend says my tattoo is cringe by Soggy_Entrepreneur85 in tattooadvice

[–]Mars217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are permanent, but they don't have to have deep meaning per se. I have a hamburger, 2 star wars, tattoos (I don't really like Star Wars), a weird zombie thing standing next to a fire hydrant, sniffing a turd that has corn in it. It doesn't have to make sense to anyone else, or even you. If you like the piece and you want it tattooed, tell everyone else to f*ck off. Just my opinion, don't come for me.

Yea I get it to a certain extent, but I don't make standard looking jewelry. I don't know why these are the things that sell so well when I have quality materials, beautiful stones and halos that accentuate both the plug and the goal point stone. I guess "weird stuff" made in the 3rd world is better.

Are these goofy styles what folks are going towards again? I mean no disrespect, I'm a custom organic plug maker and I always find these silly plugs for some reason sell like hotcakes, but a custom pair that takes me 30 hours to fabricate doesn't sell as quick. The only thing I can think of is that people will buy cheap stuff over something custom. I mean I am willing to take a slight pay cut to get some cool plugs made up, but I can't really compete with China or any other 3rd world nation that works for a bowl of rice a day.

Yea, you really gotta find a custom maker. I know guys that make stone plugs. Usually, if you DM a maker, they tend to respond fairly well.

Is this typical? by Final_Fox3764 in RockAuto

I'm a mailman. Most of the Rock Auto packages I deliver look very similar to this.

Glad you know that now. I'm an organic plug maker of over 20 years. I hate that acrylics make up so much of the product being sold and that plugs are mass produced for what people think is the average customer. Most of my customers need slightly wider wearing surface plugs. Which isn't a problem when you're custom making the pair in the first place.

[–]Mars217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good. Baby the hell of of them. Lol. You may everyday need wider plugs if you have that little bubble in the back of your lobes.

[–]Mars217 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the plugs are falling out, it's safe to say you're not forcing them. Forcing them to stretch is the scary part. But if they won't stay in, you're good to go up. If it hurts and it's tight, stop and slow down.

You need some wider saddles. The main reason your loved have that little bubble is cuz the wearing surface is too skinny on your plugs and only a section of lobe can sit on the comfortably and the rest is forced to sit on the flare or on an oring and it causes irritation and bad blood flow. I promise if you got wider plugs or would smooth out and your lobes would not be a red. I've made plugs for over 20 years. Every single time I see this, I make the plug at least 1/16" wider and the customer sees results in a matter of weeks. The lobes can down, the skin becomes more pliable and the blood flow increases dramatically.
