Those are made of acrylic. Tapers really shouldnt be worn as jewellery due to the material and the size of them,BAF have plugs quite cheap or there are these https://www.bodyartforms.com/product...ProductID=1639 which are good but i personally found the plugs a little short for my lobes.
Oh another thing I'd like to add - what they don't tell you when you get your nipple pierced is that your nipple will grow considerably larger. I wish I'd listened to my mum now! I've removed my nipple piercing and now I'm gonna need cosmetic surgery as they just look stupidly uneven :(

I haven't noticed that problem with mine, although my nipple was pierced for less than a year -/ and I did get my small side pierced, so that might explain why I havent noticed a huge difference
Jane - that makes sense -) I wasn't sure about acrylic tapers.
I plan to stretch my ears up to 8G (3.2 mm) at some point, not sure when though -/ and I don't wanna go any bigger than that either, Andrew might kill me and I tihnk my mum might aswell!!
has anyone had tongue vemons pierced? I already have the center of my tongue pierced, and want something else done there aswell. Not sure if I want another center tongue or venoms, I think I might ask my piercer what would work better for my tongue -)
Nobody knows, nobody cares that I die on the inside

Had my belly button pierced last week. I've been bathing it with salt solution and has been a little gacky but not too bad now. However, it is now crazy itchy. Is there anything I can do to stop the itching as I don't want to risk touching it in case of infection.
Also, I know navel piercings are notoriously bad for healing but how long do I have to leave it til I can change the bar - 6/8 weeks?

Ummm does anyone get blisters off O Rings?
My ears are really sore and it's pretty painfull when sleeping...i've tried switching to eyelets...But the blisters just arent going.
(My stretches are healed btw)
Any help would be much appriciated.

I never thought about being alergic to them....thats probably the cause.
I'm using steel because i thought it'd be more "safe" than acrylic.
Is there anything else i could use that won't irritate?
Is it black o rings you use? you may be okay with clear ones if you havent tried them.the black ones are often cheaper and are made of nitrile.
I personally use kaos(silicone) double flared tunnels and have found them to be very good to my ears as i found o rings a bit of an irratant for my ears.
also try some titanium which may help your ears as it doesnt have nickel in it.
I think thats an okay price.
I wouldnt go by price though....i got mine done about 5 years ago, i was way under age but i decided to go to a piercer who was known for doing under age piercings and did them cheaply...BIG mistake! It got infected and ripped out shortly after.
So spend time looking for a good piercer!
Heya. Thanks for posting such a useful thread. After having read the stuff about piercing rejection, I'm a bit worried that my navel piercing is being rejected. I got it done almost two years ago and for a while it was fine but I've always had lovely crustiness which nothing has changed. I just thought it was taking ages to heal but now it seems to be...er...shrinking, that's the only way I can put it. I got it done with a 14mm titanium bar that is now WAY too big, even a 12mm bar is a little roomy. However there's no pain whatsoever. Do you think it's being rejected?
Thanks, Laura x
If it is pierced with a 14mm length bar and is a bit roomy at 12mm, has this been since the swelling has gone down.It may migrate to a more compfrtable position but if it looks like it is growing out a lot- more than a few mm then it is likely that it is rejecting in my opinion
