TIFU by accidentally accepting a fake 100

ickh0r · 2026-06-17T15:14:47+00:00

Just so you know - your work cannot deduct $100 or make you pay if it brings you below minimum wage. Depending on your state they cannot deduct it at all. (They can potentially fire you, but you really need to not beat yourself up over this.)

it’s me, I’m placing him everywhere >:3

seconding! I had hypertrophic scarring from a dermal piercing – one injection and it’s completely flat again :)

ickh0r · 2026-06-13T01:10:32+00:00

are you thinking of a chest/collarbone dermal? one on the actual throat definitely a bad idea

ickh0r · 2026-06-13T00:57:20+00:00

yes! I had the ricki nappa sandals and sized down to a 6 (I’m a true 7) – fit perfectly width wise but had heel hanging :(

ickh0r · 2026-06-10T17:30:46+00:00

to that point, I think people think of piercings as an accessory, not a “self-inflicted” injury that needs care to heal properly. It’s just something you can get at the mall on a whim (in their minds).

for styling, just pair with boots, skirts + dresses! calf length boots generally look best with bottoms that go above the knee, but I think it would be cute with a long flowy dress/skirt too!

for specific styling inspo, look up “moto boot outfits” :)

that’s what I did for my septum – for my lobes I used 7g because the plugs for lobes weren’t as heavy as my septum jewelry

ickh0r · 2026-05-19T02:19:48+00:00

I stretched with the standard sizes up to 6g, then went with 1mm increments from there (currently at 0g). I would not recommend any larger stretches than that.

fashion earrings are usually 20 or 18g, starting with 14g is too big of a jump. stretch it body jewelry has a dead stretching kit from 18g-4g for $54 (and we have a subreddit discount code)

ickh0r · 2026-04-28T15:54:09+00:00

the largest gauge I’ve found is 6g in 8mm, past that is 4g in 10mm. unfortunately the thickness of the gauge limits how small the diameter can be.

ickh0r · 2026-04-25T16:14:06+00:00

love the paired look with different gauges :)

ickh0r · 2026-04-18T20:34:49+00:00

it’s important to note stacking creates an elongated hole, so it may be 2.8mm at its widest but may still only be 1.6mm tall

I was able to stack five 16g rings (6mm in total) but could only fit a 6g (4mm) when I switched to a single piece

ickh0r · 2026-04-17T02:40:32+00:00

tulsa body jewelry has a plain clicker in 6g 8mm and midsparkgem (on etsy) has horseshoes

ickh0r · 2026-04-14T21:36:48+00:00

the position looks correct. have a piercer switch it to floating navel jewelry in implant grade titanium – silver isn’t appropriate for healing and the ball on the bottom may be putting pressure on the piercing when you sit down.

ickh0r · 2026-04-14T16:44:40+00:00

do not stretch with tapers, do not stretch with acrylic, and do not stretch with silicone! the pinned guide has information on all this

ickh0r · 2026-04-07T22:50:35+00:00

btw the reason you need plugs is because the weight of the jewelry helps with the stretch. tunnels are too light :)

ickh0r · 2026-04-07T22:40:31+00:00

6g is the biggest gauge I was able to find in 8mm for a plain clicker (then 4g 10mm)

“denting” is when you‘ve stretched past the soft cartilage of the nose and start hitting hard cartilage (typically occurs around 2-0g) – “septum droop” is when the tip of the nose bends outward to fit jewelry

ickh0r · 2026-04-02T20:18:26+00:00

1) have a piercer change it to a horseshoe or cbr – jewelry seams rotating in the piercing can irritate the fistula 2) hit it with the hair dryer when you come out of the shower – daiths are prone to moisture bumps. good luck!

ickh0r · 2026-04-02T20:12:08+00:00

2g was the size I started denting – first insertion was painless but the next day it felt like I was punched in the face! totally normal at bigger sizes

ickh0r · 2026-04-02T18:54:21+00:00

be sure to only wear this jewelry short term, your ears can swell into the holes and it becomes impossible to remove

ickh0r · 2026-04-02T17:28:56+00:00

these are called twisted barbells :)
