I've always wondered, and am going to take this opportunity to ask now. When you have a vertical lobe through a stretched lobe like that, do you just poke the holes in (what I'm assuming is) a rubbery ring so that the vert jewelery can go through that one? or do they make special plugs for vertical lobe piercings, and how on EARTH could you get them to line up?? Sorry it took me so long to reply, I just noticed the question
But what I did for the initial pierce, was ordered a stainless steel eyelet and they made it so there was a hole in it. I have yet to find special plugs for vert lobes, but that would be nice. I miss wearing pyrex in that ear
But so far I've been doing good with silicone plugs/eyelets and just stab a hole through them. How I got the holes to line up correctly was to put the silicone around the original (stainless steel) eyelet, and stabbed a hole with a piercing needle. I can't wear the stainless steel eyelet anymore, got the vert stretched to 14ga and the tards I ordered it from made one of the holes in the eyelet 14 gauge, but the other between a 16 and 14 gauge :rolleyes:
The piercing is a bitch to change.. it is difficult to get the jewelry to line up right, and sometimes the upper part gets really sore after changing the jewelry. Right now I'm wearing a black plug that I don't really like the looks of, but I'm not changing it again anytime soon. Had to change it to an actual plug, the new store manager worked my shift last week and I don't know how he feels about multiple large gauge ear piercings. So I wanted to make them look less holy lol.
