So for my birthday my mom surprised me with a pair of plugs from Omerica that she knew I've been looking at for AGES. They're wonderful (:

However, they are a 5/8 and at this point in time, I'm at a 7/16. I need to stretch.

I want to do it safely and sanely, but I've recently moved away from home and have no idea where in Boston to get tapers.

Does anyone know of a place, or a website that sells reasonably priced (and by reasonably priced I mean dirt cheap) tapers?

I loathe the look and feel of them, so I don't want to pay too much for something I'm only using once.

and please, if you dislike modding, keep it to yourself (:

So I got my monroe pierced last Saturday (a week ago and I LOVELOVELOVE it) and the swelling has gone down a good bit. However, it is still swollen around the jewelry. My worries lie in the fact the the swelling is hard and keloid-like. There hasn't been any pus etc. other than the normal plasma crusties, and I've been cleaning it about three times daily with sea salt, anti-bacterial soap, Biotene, or a combination of the afore mentioned, as directed.

I've also been taking ibuprofen and sipping ice water.

I would just like to know if this type of swelling is normal, and if not, what should be done?

Is there any way to help reduce the swelling that I'm not already employing?

Thanks so much (:

Please don't just tell me to take it out because you're not a fan of modification.

That wastes my time and yours.

I've had them for about two months.

They seem to be sitting up rather high, but there is no redness, peeling, swelling, pain etc.

They feel fine and don't look irritated.

I'm planning on going back to the piercer in a couple of weeks to have the discs changed, but I'd just like a little help and peace of mind, you know?

please no lude comments on the pictures.

I bought these shoes today and lovelovelove them.

I have more of a boho/indie style than anything else.

I pretty much shop online and thrift quite a bit.

Just bought these, but I'm not sure what to put them with.

):

I'm about 5'10, size 6, so I have no issues with flattering clothes etc.

I'm looking to buy a new camera. As of now I'm still with my pop's old Olympus SLR and I'm looking to go digital for a halfway decent price.

SO here's where I am:

Olympus E520

or

Pentax k2000

Which would be alright for someone just going digital, but would grow well with the user?

and are infrared remotes available for both?

Just wondering.

links help as well

So I did what I said I wouldn't and got microdermals on my clavicles, as opposed to surface bars. Lower rejection rate and whatnot...

They're only a few hours old and I know to wait a few months to change them; that's a given.

However, when the time comes, I want to know how to change them out. Where is a good place to purchase SAFE, HYPOALLERGENIC replacement discs?

Please and thank you.

:D

I want major in Cultural Anthropology with a minor in music technology.

weird huh?

Thanks :D

both ideas have meaning to me, but I'm unsure as to which one I want as my first.

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q229/arch_angel...

those two are of the first idea, and the second is here

These are all flash and my artist does custom work only so the finished product will vary, but I'd like to have something to send him before I make my appointment.

I'm very interested in this university and I plan on traveling to Boston to tour it soon.

How strong is their humanities department? (I'm VERY interested in their Anthropology/Business double major)

any insight at all is welcome :D

Most detailed gets best answer.

Thank you in advance :D

I'm in the Memphis/Nashville area and I have a parlor that I've researched, but if you know another good one I'm open for suggestions.

About how much will I pay for the pair? I know it varies from parlor to parlor but they won't vary too much.

Should I make an appointment? Or walk-in?

Aftercare: how long do they take to heal?

I know about rejection etc. and I REALLY don't want dermals.

links to BMZ articles do me no good. If I wanted those, I'd look there.

Thanks in advance :D

I have my septum done and I'm debating whether or not I should go for a monroe.

I'm not sure how it would work with my face but I'd like to do something before college ends and I have to get a "real" job.

vom.

opinions please?

I'm into the typical "heavy metal" things. Grunge is good as well. PLEASE I BEG YOU NO HARDCORE! hXc=terrible. I want real breakdowns, not fake "omfgletsseehowmanyrandomnotesicanhit" or "imsqualinglikeswine" crap.

All that Remains, KSE, Pantera, Judas Priest, and the like are good.

My hair is platinum blond and a little longer than chin length in places. I'm growing it out but could really do for a trim and a new style. I'd also like some low lights. I'm going to the stylist Saturday and I don't like showing up without at least the faintest idea of what I'm looking for. Any suggestions aside from an inverted bob (that's prett much how it is now)? I'm looking for pseudo-scene/edgy styles. Pictures get best answer. thank you in advance.

If you've ever read Faulkner, you know that it's littered with underlying meaning. I need help finding some of this from the Sound and the Fury. I have a paper due in a week or so and just need a little help with the thesis. I understand the disillusion and collapse of the southern family idea and the concept of Dilsey representing continuity within the family, I just need something that I can write about and support with critical references for 6 pages. Help anyone? Please?

I'm already vegan for health as well as humane reasons and have been vegetarian for years, but how many factories are actually as bad as things like the link below?
