Targus, Rook, Industrial

[stretch007]

I was wondering what people thought of any of the 3 piercings.... my friend wants me to pierce them... i have a fair amount of experience piercing stuff... such as nipples(male), earlobes (no cartilage yet), belly button and a few tounges i usually go with a 14 or 16 gauge... the first style...a targus how long should the bent barbell be(or would it be better to start with a CBR if so what size) and is there nething special to watch out for such as nerve damage i was plannin on a 16 but my friend wants an 18(which is better for the targus srry if i am spelling that wrong)..... Then the rook what style of jewlry is best to use(i know to use stainless or titanium) i was thinkg of usin a 16 gauge needle and jewlry(any sugg.) then the last style is industrial... i was thinkin a 14 or 16 (which one is better)... what is the best or average length for the barbell.... :?: :?: :!: :!:

A) It's Tragus, not Targus

B) it worries me that you are piercing people with no training and what appears to be a very limited knowledge of piercings and anatomy in general. Piercing yourself is one thing, you are the only one that is affected if you screw it up. But, if you screw up a piericng on someone else, you could have a lot of trouble on your hands.

Sorry for the lecture. *:?

that is true....just be careful with that....and there can be nerve damage if you keep piercing it which you wouldnt ma friend did that and went deaf for a week

NO KNOWN PIERCING CAUSES "NERVE DAMAGE" UNLESS IT IS DONE IMPROPERLY AND MUCH TOO DEEP, BUT UNLESS YOU PUNCTURE THE EAR DRUM, YOU CAN NOT CAUSE TEMPORARY DEAFNESS WITH A PIERCING.

Think I've seen 18ga in a tragus before, but you want to be careful not to put anything like barbells in it because a ball could come off and just roll into the ear canal. *Best to use a CBR or a labret stud.

But yeah, if you can't spell it, don't pierce it. ;)
