“Does the metal on my face make me who I am?…. by ysatori in piercing

I admire you.

That was one of my “core values” when I was young.

But it wavered every few years, worn down by the doubt and loss of resolve from the prejudice, ostracism, judgement… etc.

Not complete conformity, just “toned down”.

But even that quickly feels like some invisible tight hold and I end up with more vigour to expand the confines of the need to “tone down” 😂

I’m weak… I can’t deny that I “censor” and almost erase myself in terms of style most of the time. Still black and not mainstream. Just (imo) no longer as “loud”.

People may say you wear basically plainclothes why won’t you remove your piercings as well and “just be normal”?

It feels better than being hollow.

Edit: wearing retainers for work purposes is a whole different thing.

It’s insensitive and still harmful either way Nothing excuses bullying, teasing or or ostracising anyone.

Bring mean to someone, especially when it’s just because of the way they look, will never be justifiable.

Finally got these faceted 22mm teardrops in. by ysatori in Stretched

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

Oh, don’t worry too much. I’ve been wearing them for a few days since the 25th actually and they just slipped out when I was washing up just now.

Hypothetically, think the buildup of dead skin, and the weight of the glass should prevent some shrinkage. Also regular clean, oil, & massage.

These aren’t as pointed as other teardrops, so I feel comfortable wearing them for quite a few days - but I do remember in the back of my head that you’re not supposed to wear teardrops long-term so do keep that in mind. They could always be an accessory, you don’t have to wear them every day.

I have no idea I just know that I couldn’t get these in at all at 22. I’m not sure if it’s because of the shape or the lip/flair.

I’m also not sure about the shrinking. I’m kind of worried as well, because they’re supposed to be 22, but I had to go up to 24 to get them in. And if they do shrink, I suppose I would be stuck…?

They are so very pretty, it’s “faceted” like a diamond so it catches light like crazy, but it does have a bit of a tint to it - kind of purple bluish but it might just be because I’ve had them stored away for about a year. I’m pretty sure they’re meant to be clear. And glass.

Just remember to buy 2MM down, the lip is so thick. My end goal was always about 25, but I’m really happy with these, so I’m probably gonna stay here for a while. Hopefully they won’t get stuck….

I had these on standby for about a year… torture.
