I’m asking this massively in advance, and it’s probably a dumb question, but anyway. I’ve just gotten my septum pierced and I’m planning on beginning to stretch it once it heals. I’d like to put a tunnel it when I get to the size I want, but my searches for “septum tunnel” aren’t turning up much of anything… So I’m guessing I just get a regular tunnel, like the ones I’d use in my ears, in the size I want. Am I right?
You are indeed.
Some tunnels will come in different lengths too - the shorter ones fit nice and comfy. I have a ss 4mm internally-threaded ‘top hat’ tunnel in mine and it is so comfortable I forget it’s there.

So I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a studio in Toronto that does really good custom jewellery. My request is actually quite simple, a 14g ss nostril screw at the right length, but these are actually hard to find. I also find the online stores that have done them for me can never get it just right, so I would prefer to talk to a real person.
Any help is appretiated…
You can search studios via 411.BMEzine.com
To make it simple for you here’s the search you’re looking for: http://411.bmezine.com/studios/regional/north-america/canada/ontario
Personally if you came to me, and I was back working in Toronto, I’d be getting in touch with Anatometal or Infinite Body to obtain what you are looking for.
One question though are you looking for an actual Nostril Screw in 14ga or would you like a Labret Stud instead? Personally when I had my nostrils pierced I used 14ga Neometal Threadless Labrets. I found the labret stud worked best as there was no need to bend the jewelry at all, all I needed to do is measure the width and that’s it. Hence why I personally switched over to using labret studs almost exclusively when I was working in Niagara Falls. That way nobody had to really worry about the inner portion hanging out or not being bent properly,etc.

hey i was wondering is there usually a weight limit on suspensions or will they just add more hooks? i would like to try a suicide suspension but am on the heavy side… what would be an ideal weight for a male to get suspended i weigh 260 and want to loose weight just to be suspended thanks for your time
A proper suspension crew will take your weight and figure out how many hooks will be required,etc. 260lbs is a easily do-able weight size to suspend. Heck most weights are easy to suspend, so long as you go to the right crew.
Lose the weight because you want to, do not have any notions that you need to in order to suspend. But hey sometimes people use these types of things as reasons to lose weight,etc. So if you want you can always overlook what I said and just keep thinking you need to lose weight in order to suspend. Whatever helps you to be a happy and healthy soul, that’s all I care about.

Hello everyone!
I had been rejected by a piercer couple days ago because i wanted a 10 gauge CBR PA piercing but i am uncut. Well, since i am from Europe… let me just say: International hot dog comes with bun! Anyway… He told me max. 6 month and the piercing will migrate out pushed forward way constantly by the foreskin. If the foreskin could been very loose - he said - may be… But this is one in a thousand…
I made a research but i found few uncut PA stories but not a single experience about migration or rejection. So now what?! Was the piercer just way too cautious or what he said is the fact?
Thanks for the answers!

I’m uncircumcised and had a PA for years- pierced at 10g eventually stopping at 1/2″.
I’ve seen rejection with uncut/PA, but I’d say that’s more of a 1/1000.

I want to get my nose pierced but I have a clear mole right where I’d like to get it done. Is it possible to pierce through it, or would/could the piercing be right next to it?
I’m not familiar with “clear moles”, but it is best to leave moles well-enough alone. No piercing through them. The piercing would likely heal fine, but you will increase the chances of something that is probably fairly benign becoming problematic. The piercing should be able to be done near the mole…just not through it.

I just lost the o-ring for my eyebrow retainer, what precautions can I take to make sure it doesnt fall out till I can get to a shop to buy another o-ring?
You could place a band-aid or medical tape over the other end of the bar to keep it from sliding out while you sleep or go about your day. This method actually works really well for lots of piercings if you lose a ball off of one end.

Can you get your eyebrow pierced with a cbr or is it easier to let it heal with a different ring and switch it when it heals?
Yes, eyebrow piercings can be done with CBR’s initially. However, the CBR is going to stick up/out more, from the side of your head. Therefore it will get knocked/bumped/snagged more often and will typically take longer (and be harder) to heal than a curved barbell. Once the piercing is healed having a CBR in it won’t be as much of an issue, but it’s still more likely get snagged on stuff.

Ok…heres my question. I split my tongue awhile ago, maybe 4 months or so and everything is great…..I love my tongue and all that i can do but there is one problem…I can no longer blow bubble gum bubbles. Sounds silly but I really used to enjoy that and I was wondering if anyone else has had any difficulty blowing bubbles with a split tongue and if its even possible after the split to blow bubble gum bubbles. Thanks 
Can’t hurt to ask:
Ok folks… feedback time!

I am going to be getting my lower lip pierced on the side and I recently got my braces off. I have a retainer that I wear every night but I was wondering if the piercing would damage my teeth in anyway. Thank you for your time
Oral piercings always pose the risk of damaging teeth and gums.

Which ring is better for my teeth… I am getting it on the lower lip off to the side.
Thanks again
Initial lip piercings will heal better with appropriately fitted flatback labret barbells because they won’t be whacked around so much like a CBR would be.
As far as your teeth go, it’s a very real risk that any lip piercing can cause significant damage to oral tissue. You can greatly reduce/avoid enamel and tissue erosion by wearing snug fitting jewelry.
I tell my clients to come back for their first downsize after piercing within two weeks. This helps to collect that bit of extra length that will be risked snagging on teeth and wearing at gum tissue.
Second downsize after a month or two once it’s completely healed up.
I personally don’t think that CBRs are great for new lip piercings at all. Heal it with a flatback and switch it later once it’s healed up.
