well, based on my nipples, i'd say that it is new skin that didn't have time
to attach itself firmly/correctly..i have that right where my holes are...

stop the alcohol as soon as you can...it prevents new skin from latching on..
that's why i stopped using it and am depending solely on hibiclens diluted
1:4 with water....and i want to switch to salt water soon because hibi dries
my skin out

I got mine at an ear-piercing place at a mall, so I had a starter stud.
It didn't go through the cartilage, but the small strip of flesh on
the edge.

A related question: will there be a problem switching to medium gauge
rings? There's not really very much room.

I think Spaulding and Rogers Revolution machine is like that.  It's black
nylon or plastic, and uses a cam to transfer the circular energy to linear
(up and down) energy to move the needle bar.  Also the voltage adjustment
is not on the power supply but on the machine

i saw one (1) gun based on a different approach.  it used a small (9-12 volt)
motor such as you get for model trains or boats (about the size of a bottle
of "liquid paper" correction fluid).

there was an eccentric mounted on the shaft translating the torsional movement
to an "back and forth" motion. much like the reverse of an old locomotive where
the "back and forth" motion of the pistons is translated into the torsional
movement of the wheels.

the big advantage was the silence. After 2 hours, that buzzing loses some of
it appeal -- sustained noises such as that worry me. He only used it once on
me so i suppose it did not handle well.

My real tattoo when it happens will definitely be a personal statement
about me, and a part of me thats remained consistant since I can 
remember.  I won't want something that in a couple years I would find
trite or regret.  For me a permanent tattoo will need to show some 
fundamental aspect of me.
I really wish I could draw, so I could design it on my own.  My own
skills as an artist haven't changed much since 4th grade.  So, ultimately 
when I do get a real tattoo, its going to be someone elses design.

	I got my nipple pierced about 4 weeks ago (OK, 4 weeks, 2 days, 20  
hours). My cleaning regimen for the first four days was Hibiclens (diluted 1:2)  
twice a day, then once a day for the next four weeks, with occasional skipped  
days in the last two weeks or so. I work Neosporin into the piercing every time  
I do anything that might increase the infection risk, such as swimming, or if I  
know I will not be able to clean the piercing for a day or so. For the first  
two weeks I took zinc supplements, on the recommendation of my piercer. The  
good news is this - No external crusties after day 7, occasional appearance of   
soft white matter from the interior of the piercing up to week 3, and  
absolutely nothing since then. Cleaning is painless (though turning the ring  
the first time in order to get the Hibiclens into the piercing is difficult).  
and nothing seems to bother the piercing. I can see and feel no evidence that  
the nipple is not completely healed. I appear to be one of the lucky ones. 
Anyway, that's my contribution to the cleaning time data. I will continue to  
clean regularly, but I am not convinced that it is necessary.

Anybody know how to be 100% sure that it's healed?

Subject: Re: breastfeeding and nipple rings

Stephanie, I have heard some anecdotal evidence about
nursing with rings. I have not heard anyone mention that
they, or a friend, or even a friend of a friend, tried
and it didn't work out.

You have to leave the rings in all the time or the holes
will start to close, so you need small rings that can go
in the baby's mouth. This can be done apparently. I'd guess
that it matters whether the pierce involved the areola,
but that is also a guess.

I also guess that a woman who had let her pierce close,
with lots of scar tissue, would be much more likely
to have a problem.

Anyone who knows more than this, do let me know; I
plan a short section in the FAQ.

Well, I got my nostril and eyebrow pierced at Gauntlet in SF last
Saturday.  The eyebrow is healing nicely, no crusties, oozing, or
blood.  My nostril, however, is a bit red and gets the hard yellow
clear stuff around the hole.  I've been cleaning it with the regular
ear care stuff Gauntlet gave me, but the crusties have trouble
dissolving and end up getting painfully ripped off when I try turning
the ring.

Any good advice?

The needles are not hollow.  They are Tapered, the points do not touch each
other but the other ends do.  They are made out of steel or stainless
steel (stainless is thought by some to be better).

three months ago i switched birth control pills from triphasil28 to ortho novum...i experienced some breast growth, but didnt think much about ti....

almost two months ago i got both nipples pierced...we used rings which were
approx 5/8 inch....they seemed to be the right size...

but in the time since i got them pierced my breasts have grown some more...
finally last week i went back and got rings 3/4 inch...almost instantly my 
`holes started healing better....before the holes were pretty big..and the inner
edges of them where the rings rubbed were pretty oogey...now, only 3 days later my holes are clearing up and staring to shrink

so please be careful about choosing ring sizse...if you think they are too small
you have every right to go back and demandx that they get changed....

i dont really see why, that would make it easier to do,
but i think it would be easier to just run a needle
straight through with a little holder thing in the middle

but then again i dont really claim to know that much
(we are talking about a piercing that runs vertically through
the penis, right?) (does it matter where it is? i know the faq say
through the glans or right behind it, but i wouldnt think it

Well that answered his question.

You can use either a ring or a stud.  Take into account the jewelery may get pushed
around due to things such as sunglasses, which may cause the piercing to take longer
to heal.

I'll be getting a 17 gauge dydoe (dydo?)  stud put in the upper center of my left in in a few
weeks.  The stud is more like a barebell then conventional stud.

make the difference between a piece of art which you treasure or a piece of

I get the impression that the paper drawings were good enough to make you
want a tattoo even more. so why not go to this artist? if he is close enough
for you to drop in, then he is most likely close enough for you to get inked.

I've had my nipple pierce for about two months and the only problem
I've had is that it seems very tight.  It's almost impossible to slide
the ring through the hole.  I can just barely turn it when it gets wet
in the shower and when I rub Hibiclens on it I have no problem at all.
Is this normal?  BTW, I've had absolutely *no* healing problems with
it (it only oozed once or twice when I first got it).
