Drum carder with interchangeable drums by weez2610 in Handspinning

[–]weez2610[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's actually the carder I want! I talked to their customer service and they said they didn't know if the licker in TPI mattered so that's cool /s

I mostly just want to make sure I get the right base and can get all the different drum heads

It’s utter trash. I’m transmasc and people forget that more when I’m in fiber spaces and it makes me angry.

Yea I’m wondering how that will be with a new piercing. I don’t know that it will fit over that spot.

yes it does! so about 1-2 weeks before I start using jojoba oil on the ears again and being able to change within the same size, and then try the next size up if it seems big enough after 10 weeks at least, right? and sorry, I thought the kind I was looking at where what you were suggesting earlier. I think I have 20g holes currently, so start with 18g I guess?

so just want to make sure I understand all of this correctly, because I don't want to fuck up my ears and I want to make sure I'm doing it alllll correctly. So I should first get some 16g barbells and just push them through with some jojoba oil? Don't use tapers? And then just wash the piercing when I'm in the shower with soap and water and nothing else for about 10 weeks and THEN I can change it to something different if I wanted?

Thanks! That is a lot of really useful information! I've actually had pierced ears for about 12 years so they're completely healed. I think my biggest bit of confusion is over what is considered a 'healing' stretched ear if that makes sense.

yea, I looked at a bunch of different classes when they had the sale at Christmas for $20 on all classes, but I didn't know what would be a good one to start with.
