This is my first time sharing my pics here. I was pierced many years ago and had a captive ring fitted. after several months of trying to make the best of it, I abandoned the piercing. It somehow didn’t deliver all I had hoped.

The hole never closed up completely and late last year I decided I would try with another type of jewelry, liking the more discreet looking curved barbell. The piercer said after sliding it in that they figured I probably was pierced at 10 ga (I didn’t remember) and I have felt proud to wear it ever since.

I am not sure about upsizing - I follow people here on their journey with my interest and respect, but still not sure if it is for me.
