Jewelry

[juli]

i've got a few ear cartilege piercing and a tragus piercing, and i want some cute, unique white-gold earrings

all i can find is a ton of sites/stores that sell diamond belly button rings and all kinds of ugly, punky body jewelry

does anyone know where i can find what i want?

last time i got the itch for gold in my tragus, i had to have a ring *made* at venus....and my hole stretched too :chuckle
because the tragus earring is sooo small, it's hard to get gold. it's too weak when it's thin. ;)

umm, why WHITE gold silly? just get surgical steel...no? :suspicion

do u mean venus on broadway? i was just there during lunch! they have some cute things, though not too great of a selection. she wanted to stretch my tragus too from an 18 to a 16 i think, but she promised it wouldn't hurt

i guess i don't really care if it's gold or surgical steel, but i don't want the typical ring or barbell thing, i want something pretty and feminine so i figure if it's gold it'll more likely be a more elegant design

[kimberly]

yup, stretched from an 18 to a 16 ;) did NOT hurt, at all!

well, the tragus is a tough spot cuz it's so tiny and cuz of where it's located. i think it's all about the bead for the tragus :fish i have a multi-colored ring with a hematite ball(i think) right now.

the gold used for piercing jewelry is *primarily* yellow gold. otherwise, u cannot tell the difference really from surgical steel(which is safer, cleaner).

how about getting urself a ball with some hand-painted detailing? orrrr, some sparkliness? (always good to sparkle) u could get the rings made from plexiglass(something like that, colored & clear) but, i'd focus on finding a cool ball to sprcue up ur tragus :buck

places to try: venus, andromeda, pleasurable piercings

well, for jewelry, u Can go anywhere, i jsut know their stuff is gooood and i trust them..

woah ..ouch.. that looks painful! no thanksssssssssssssssssssssss

:snaway

it's not that bad at all, it's the good kind of pain -- just sort of a burny sensation

but if u're not into it, that's cool too

[kimberly]

i did NOT feel mine....at alllllllllllllll! no, i wasn't fucked up either :neener
it really doesn't hurt, unless u do not go to a pro...it's actually a kinda dangerous piercing. if they mess up and hit a nerve(which isn't that difficult cuz the area is so tiny & packed with nerves), permanent facial twitches! i would Only go someplace really really experienced & pro!!

mia, i've had mine forever & ever(literally!). like, 12 years? loooong time! it's cute. :spank AND conservative(easily hidden) ;)
