Review on Silicone Flesh Skin Ear Gauges: Expanders, Plugs, and Tunnels – Double Flared, Hiding Retainer Piercing Earrings for Women and Men by Josh Akin

caused a tear in a healed piercing

It may be asking too much to ask for a retainer for an 8g lobe piercing, but if there is a retainer that can actually be installed then it isn't. "Flash" isn't really a flash, it's a solid crest. I think if it was a real flash I could pinch the edges and make the surface small enough to go through my rag, but instead I got a runaway trying to thread a flattened comb. My upper lobes have stretched to 8g's in a year or more with no problem (long enough that they don't close easily - at least if they don't become infected - as I discovered after walking for several hours). without jewelry almost every day, since I didn't have holders for them. which means I never had to spend money on it. Cheers), but because of that I have a little lip now, one of which I have to pin back when I put the jewelry on the front. Although they were soft. If I were to order them in 14mm for my main lobe piercing they would probably be nice and fun to crush, but I'm considering 8g not 14mm (if even available).
