dirty and nasty? i don't think so. have you ever been inside the rooms they do the piercing and tattooing? so clean. plus, they have been around for yeaaaars longer than adrenaline. great staff at both. i've pierced once and tattooed at Next and pierced twice at Sacred Heart on 10th.

arent birthdays fun? :)

throw up a photo when your ears fresh from healing! and be sure to savour the pain.

AH! Fresh would indeed be a jolly good time for a birthday slaughter accomponied by only the finest and nastiest of dnb entres!

Sadly im dying the from the ebolla virus, but one of these days bro for sure! Have a good one--

for some reason i think ill be hearing stories about the festivities tommorow on nwdnb :)

ps: there a really cool piercing jewelry wholesaler called "stigmata" ive never been there. but jody from anatomic told me about it. Ill dig up the address. But she told me they got lots of stuff. So you might wanna check it out, for some interesting gear.

DOOOOOOO IT :) that's it carlos..........just remember you pretty much asked for it! it's on bitch

hm, are you stretching from a normal sized piercing (16ga) to 4 or 6 right away. cause that's not a very good idea. stretching your ears shouldn't hurt, and if you stretch from 16 to 4/6 you're either going to damage the tissue in your ear, get a blowout, and it's going to burn and be bright red for 3 days. it's just not good for your ear. stretch slowly.

i have 0ga lobes, and i stretched mine over the past year to get to that size. they are very healthy lobes, and there's little scartissue that faster methods of stretching would bring.

if it's a fresh stretch, i don't recommened anything arylic...it pourus and holds bacteria and might lead to infection. anything with o-rings can be a hassle because the rings being plastic tend to get smelly even if you do clean them regularily. organics (woods, bone, stones) aren't good for healing and might actually bond to your ear....that leaves pretty much, surgical steel or nibonium single/double flare plugs or screw end tunnels. both are great for healing and the material doesn't attract bacteria.

i'm guessing you knew most of that already but, i like to type so there it is.

places to go...NEXT, anatomic, and adreneline - are all very good. and i'm pretty sure if you buy the jewlery they only charge you a $10 "insertion fee" haha.

haha yes I have been to both and I use to like Sacred Heart. That is my second choice if I had one but I must disagree with Next. The staff in there is super rude and I don't like the way it looks so dirty. Sacred Heart I simply like for Bear. He use to be my piercer at 1st On Granville and then he moved b/c they got new owners so he moved to Scared Heart. That was my first choice before Adrenaline came out. I know that they have been around for longer but their rep has long been forgotten. At least with ppl that I know.

However you are entilted to your opinion. And if you like it then that's awesome :)

my first piercings ever were an 8 or 6 gauge which is pretty thick for a first piercing. I'm only stretching it to whats physicaly possible likely a 2 or 4. I want to get stone plugs not tunnels... I think adreneline has a good thing going on.. thats where I'll get my shit done for sure.

i was gonna get you wasted last night......but you did pretty good on your own :) fuckin' so nice seeing you last night! maybe just a huge birthday sesh is in order :)

[ill-esha]

heh, i'm just starting to SHRINK my lobes.

i was at a 0 gauge for awhile and am getting sick of not being able to wear any of my own jewelry that i design!

anyone know if places will buy used jewelry? or if i could pay someone to use their autoclave to sterilize my plugs so i could try and sell them? (sorry for the threadjack)

Jacob did my labret and he was awesome...I was really nervous going in there and he TOTALLY put me at ease.

I chose Next because they've been around for years and I trusted that...If there was a problem they would have been shut down years ago.

Oh, and fable, does Anatomic have a new location?

[C_squared]

so I'm getting the stretching done at adreneline its the best deal and they have a massive selection in jewlery.

I'll post pics when its all said and done.
