Ear Stretching/Jewelry Gauges
I just had one question about ear stretching/gauges. I really wanted to stretch my ears to JUST an 18 gauge and not go any bigger.. I was wondering if after it was healed I'd still be able to wear regular (as in the standard size, a 20?) studs/hoops/etc? Would my hole be too large?" -backseatbaby

Tattoo Looks Too Dark
"I got my first tattoo done yesterday. it is a pair of wings, but it looks really dark now, which is looks like birds wings rather than angle's wings. my tattooist insist that,he had done it really light, it will looks good when it fully healing. but i am still really worry about that, would anybody tell me whether he's right or not. and if it is still too dark for me when it is healing, can i do anything about that?" - S_Z

New Jewelry Too Snug
"So, I just got my labret pierced for the second time. I decided i wanted to change it after a month, i mean, it was nearly healed. I bought some bio plastic jewelry because this girl at the store said it's good stuff... doubt she's ever tried em... but my fiancee and i finally got it in... (it was super difficult)... and it's SUPER SNUG... i don't know if that's good for my skin or not... can anyone help me??" - MomaHolls
