14 is really nothing. i would suggest getting them done at 8. also, if they use a gun just walk out, they are not professionals.

14 gauge is actually really small. Gauges go from large numbers (small piercings) to small numbers (so a zero you could probably fit a sharpie through) I think you can go to the girlie stores in the mall and get an 18 which is only two sizes from the 14.

hurting and getting all crusty. i dont think i stretch her out enough before going up. my right ear takes it like a champ.
i had more trouble with my left also. It took about 4 months longer to heal.

8 gauge isnt even big...
am i mixing something up?
18 is the standard piercing gun gauge, all of my earings are 16 gauge, which is small as fuck. my lebret is 14ga. if youre looking for the larger inserted peircing i wouldnt start any lower than 8-10ga, which is still pretty small compared to some of those mother fuckers. the blue buddah in the picture is probably sporting a 00-02ga.

wait can i not just keep moving up little by little from 8g? thats what i've been doing. i dont want to go ridiculously huge. i'm ALREADY at 8s.. i started from just the piercing gun.
is there a certain way to gauge your ears? i was just gonna keep moving up 1 size at a time. how SHOULD i do it?
i'm getting my labret done too, and soon! and i might get my septum just because EVERYONE i know HATES the idea of it. and thats what makes it so fucking beautiful to me.

Ok. i have 5/8 in plugs in right now. I have had them for a long time. I wouldnt durmle punch if i were you. I f you do then the ear will never shrink up when you take out the pearcing. If you pay your dues and stretch them out then once you take out your plugs they will shrink back to somewhat of a normal size. Heres a pic of my ear. size.

be patient like da buddah. watch out drinking out of beer cans with your septum pierced.... i've had close calls. i have ripped out a lip ring once. i had snake bites and i was spinning poi at some shitty rave and i caught my ring, and it pulled it out through the piercing, ring and ball. ouch. it sucked cause i was sober.

ok, so the bottom line is that they can pierce my ears in the 14 gauge area for my first time.
Are they gonna be cool with me bringing in my own plugs though?
