People that have their lobes stretched...how much did it cost? I'm cheap.
I started to try doing it myself, first with some thick plastic thread, then with a straw i cut, but the straw was uneven and just chopped up the skin. One word: OW!
I also forgot when I started this whole plan that I hadn't put in earings in a couple years, and therefore, they were grown over. So I re-peirced my ears with a straw.

How hygenic....

I wouldn't recommend stretching your ears on your own .. you can cause huge damage to your ears .. I'm stretching my bottom holes and they use a taper to make the hole bigger before putting in your larger gauge ..
not sure on the price .. i get discounts
so i don't know how it would normally be

i don't have the patience to do it gauge by gauge .. and my piercer has drilled it into my head about how easy it is for infections to start with ear stretching so I'm letting him do it ..

What's next on everyone's piercing wish list?
For me I want my rook to go with my tragus on my right ear .. then eventually I'll do the same to the left ear .. continue stretching my bottom holes a tiny bit .. and I want the right side of my lip pierced.

I have my nose pierced ... it was pierced with a nostril screw .. studs fall out WAY too easily which you don't want to happen while it's healing .. I don't particularly like the look of rings too much but I've never worn one in my nose so I'm not sure .. the screw fits in your nose snug and it will never fall out while you're sleeping like studs can .. they usually only give you two choices: a screw, or a ring ... if they pierce you with a stud, um .. they shouldn't. Nose gauges are small .. I believe mine is 18.
Just be warned .. nose rings develop boils about 80% of the times .. it's just a tiny bump that grows beside the piercing, looks like a pimple .. it's very very popular with nose piercings ..
As for lip rings .. simple, labrets are situated MUCH lower so they rub on your gums and lower teeth consantly. It's just a large flat disk rubbing and wearing on your gums. A lip ring is much higher up ... mine didn't touch my gums at all .. and only hit my teeth in the first few weeks since the ring was bigger due to swelling .. a large flat labret disk or a small narrow ring .. lip rings will gradually create a space if it rests between two teeth .. but that takes years to happen .. like 5 years.
