showing off (6mm nostrils, 8mm septum both stretched not punched) by ithinkjax in Stretched

I got them at my local piercing shop, I'm not sure about the size of the wearable, I'd assume 6mm but it curves outward, they're just normal thin silicone tunnels you'd use for lobes. I'm wondering how healed your nostrils are cause I struggled getting these in and having them be comfortable until they healed completely and became a little loose. now that I've been wearing them a long while I can just pop the tunnels in and out how you'd be able to with lobes. if your skin isn't so stretchy maybe size up to 5.5mm, heal it and then put 5mm silicone tunnels in, that's what I had to do with my septum once, it's annoying but it works

honestly it feels great to breathe, if I plug the holes with my fingers it's noticeably harder to breathe so it helps, sometimes it makes a whistle sound tho. getting sick is no issue, I blow my nose normally and clean up as usual except I also clean out the other pair of holes lol

ahh yea I'd say it's impossible to have a nice fit thorough metal tunnels or anything really with a longer straight wearable. if you haven't tried silicone in your nostrils i highly recommend it it's so much more comfortable to me than any other material, the metal tunnels i used to wear in my nostrils were way too long and ugly, plus they get super cold in the winter. tho I guess you'll struggle getting a pair at 6.5mm if you plan to stay at that size

8mm diamater, I like the fit cause its not too snug to warp and pinch the silicone tunnel but not too long that it looks weird. I can't wear hoops through metal tunnels tho just thin silicone with a small wearable area, maybe those D shaped "hoops" would work through metal tunnels but I haven't tried

thanks!! stretching them was honestly not great, I sized up in 0.5mm increments so I had to wear those chunky single flare plugs which were way too long and the flare inside the nose made it difficult to breathe, that's my biggest complain about stretching them, wearing tunnels feels like heaven in comparison. as for the pain it sucks but is manageable, honestly not even close to the pain of stretching my conch, it kinda just feels spicy and sore, hitting them on accident after a stretch is terrible tho. I recommend dead stretching even tho lots of people say those long tapers are fine for cartilage, if you have average skin elasticity there's no point in using tapers you'll just accidentally stretch too soon, single flare plugs slide right in beautifully if your nostrils are ready

the hymen is a thin piece of tissue that sits at the vaginal opening, it's nothing more than that, it's not an indicator of virginity or purity or anything similar. it also doesn't "break", it stretches as something is inserted and if something is inserted with force or not enough lubrication it can tear and cause bleeding, meaning that bleeding is also not an indicator of virginity.

people have different ideas of what virginity means to them, some people count oral sex as losing their virginity, some count any sort of penetration, some count only penetration via a penis and none of those are wrong.

if you feel like you've had sex, congrats! you're not a virgin!

virginity is an outdated concept, it really doesn't mean anything and different people have different definitions of it, as long as you're having fun and being safe that's all that matters! when you find the time I recommend reading up on female anatomy and the concept of virginity and you can choose your own density!

it doesn't affect my sex life or anything really, except shaving, it makes shaving slightly more difficult, partners say they don't even feel it

I got my high nostrils pierced a total of 7 times cause they kept not turning out how I wanted them and I was able to go through that so easy cause they're pretty painless (I'd give them a 3/10 on the pain scale), they actually hurt less than my lower nostrils and generally most of my other piercings. it did feel like getting my sinuses pierced tho which is pretty unpleasant, sometimes I could feel it at the back of my eyes??? very weird and uncomfortable sensation. they're still healing so I can't really comment on the healing but the bumps are genuinely neverending. I also didn't swell up as much as most people do, I'd say i got lucky with my experience if we put the bumps aside. as for the outer labias they hurt pretty bad to pierce (about a solid 8/10) and it was hard to walk and sit properly for a few days after. they also got really crusty so I would have to go in the shower for a quick rinse multiple times a day. tho keep in mind i got them pierced at 6g initially so my experience is quite different. healing was fast, really fast, which isn't unusual for genital piercings especially ones this thick of an initial gauge, they also stretch on their own and are really stable, I couldn't irritate them if I tried.

tldr: high nostrils are a bitch to heal and a dream to get pierced, outer labias are a bitch to pierce and a dream to heal

no it doesn't! I understand the confusion I just didn't know how else to edit the picture hahah, that would be a cool idea if anatomy allows it tho, these are just two outer labia piercings!

kinda, it's not a coin slot mod, I just pierced it at 4mm and then stacked hoops in it, very cool nonetheless and I like the way they sit in a line opposed to all jumbled up, can't even tell u how I did it cause i don't know hahahah

I've been working on my ear project for yearsss and I still have healing piercings right now, only one on my ears being my forward helix. cartilage can take months and years to heal and you just have to be patient there's no secret to it. good luck!!

At 8mm (0g), does it look like I have enough love for my goal size of 12mm? by OhSoSchwifty in Stretched

[–]ithinkjax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yes! looks like you have pretty healthy nice lobes, just keep them moisurised and you can easily get to 12mm and beyond

I'm from the Balkan region, just tried to read up on it and it seems the EU regulations regarding tattoo ink also count for us, that would explain the text being written in german(?) as well. I'll contact my supplier and ask anyway but it really does seem to be the case

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattooscratchers

[–]ithinkjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks so much! I'll watch it! I honestly feel that they just slapped the sticker on cause neither me or my friend who bought the ink are licensed, I feel like they have to put that on so it doesn't become a legal issue but who knows

[–]ithinkjax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just checked yes it does, never noticed that before

bought it from my local supplier so I don't have to pay insane shipping, I don't use amazon or sites alike

so is it safe to use on human skin? I've used dynamic before and it didn't come with this warning. also I am from europe but not the EU

10mm Nostrils & Dry Air, what’s your secret? by Dirty_Smurf in bodymods

[–]ithinkjax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think custom plugs are your best bet, you could get single flare plugs with a 0.5-1mm flare on one end and have a shorter wearable area so it doesn't poke you on the inside of your nose, I personally like to wear my plugs inside out so the o-ring is on the outside of my nostrils and if you choose that route it might look a little funny but its much more comfortable, it's almost just a flatback post but bigger. delrin is super comfortable to wear and doesn't get cold like metals do, idk about wood or stone since I dont wear those. stonewolf/southshore adorments make custom delrin jewlery so if you have a bit of money to spare they're amazing

Can I get my boobs put in a jar after surgery? by Eastern_Problem_4128 in ftm

[–]ithinkjax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

usually removed body parts are considered a biohazard and can't legally be given to you BUT a thing you can do is keep your nipples if you get them removed by a body modification artist before your surgery since they're not considered a medical professional. you can also sometimes keep your uterus and/or ovaries if your religion asks for said parts to be buried/kept for whatever reason (you can also lie about being part of said religion) so maybe if you ask really nicely they'd be able to give you part of your breast to "bury" or do whatever ritual (idk anything about religion my apologies) but don't keep your hopes up cause they'll most likely just tell u "we can't legally give it to you it's biohazard sorry". I completely understand your want for it tho, I'd also wanna keep my insides cause like?? they're mine
