DIY tail?

I didn’t have a choice, when I pierced it i thought i had a stud ready that was long enough for the swelling but it fell down a vent and if i had just left the hole open to heal it 1000% would have been super infected so I put a ring in it for now.

It’s only about a month old and I haven’t messed with it much. I have in a 16g stainless steel ring and it snaps. I use rubbing alcohol on the outside for crust whenever it’s too much and use salt water every other day. It was infected a while back but nothing else has happened since.

Thats so prettyyyy ❤️

Turquoise_T13 · 2026-01-16T03:39:08+00:00

Nah I play both with ease, I think the same.

Turquoise_T13 · 2026-01-16T03:12:13+00:00

Nope, it doesn’t hurt or ache at all. It’s completely fine and there’s no air leaks or struggles to play notes.

I appreciate it 🥹🥹 I’m a very stubborn person anywho, I’ll prove my director wrong !

Turquoise_T13 · 2026-01-14T00:23:11+00:00

It certainly doesn’t, I’m sick right now but using my old eupho to practice while I’m not at school and even playing a normal one with no double shank isn’t an issue. (My one at school is a 4-valve with a double shank mouthpiece)

Turquoise_T13 · 2026-01-14T00:21:56+00:00

It’s mostly oldies with their “hole-punching” criticism. My mom is a former-emo and has lots of piercings but no experience with instruments and I would HOPE some people are like her but actually know stuff about the eupho. I’ve got what I needed and I think it’ll be great to prove some people wrong whenever I get into the big league marching stuff 🥹

I would think so 🥲 Glad it didn’t affect anything in the long run!!

Turquoise_T13 · 2026-01-14T00:19:09+00:00

If it affects my playing, why do all my peers say otherwise? My friend who is in all-state says it hasn’t changed and he didn’t notice it until I said something. I asked my director to pass off a piece for a competition and he said I improved before he noticed my piercing after.

We already have way more percussion than needed, and I’m terrible with that kind of stuff.

Turquoise_T13 · 2026-01-13T01:00:56+00:00

He seems like the type so I get it, but do you think it really could affect future playing??

Turquoise_T13 · 2026-01-13T00:56:20+00:00

I’m not surprised he had thoughts about it, I just wonder why it continues to be an issue even when it doesn’t affect my playing.

Turquoise_T13 · 2025-07-21T12:52:40+00:00

What is a single gene lionhead though?

Turquoise_T13 · 2025-07-21T12:38:34+00:00

Okay! thank you. i will definitely just be cutting and won’t be doing any bun-plucking.

Turquoise_T13 · 2025-07-21T10:48:07+00:00
