I’ve had my nipples pierced for a couple of years now and recently stretched from a 14 gauge to a 12 gauge. I am rather well endowed in the chest area (DD’s) and have nipples in proportion, so one of the reasons I decided to stretch to a bigger gauge was to make things look more balanced. The smaller gauge looked ok, but the piercing was kind of dwarfed, at least in my eyes. So, I went to my piercer (who also re-pierced my VCH–vertical clitoral hood, recently) and asked to stretch to 12 gauges. I’m not gonna lie…it was painful. It has been a while since I got them pierced, but I’m pretty sure this was worse. A piercing is just the needle passing through but stretching is…well, stretching. Once it was done though, I loved the look of the bigger jewelry. Definitely no regrets on that!
In honor of my bumping up in size I decided to get some new jewelry. I wanted something unique and pretty so I started searching online. Eventually I found these really pretty Prong Set Faux-pals that are ends to be placed on internally threaded barbells. I fell in love! I got the green ones and I have to say the pictures don’t even do them justice. The best part is that you can customize to the gauge, gem end size, prong color, and gem color. If you don’t already have some internally threaded barbells, Tribalectic has those too!
Tribalectic has tons of other jewelry for all types of piercings, so if you’re looking for something new check out their selection. They also have a whole community where you can find answers to questions, tips, and just interesting stories. There are even pictures if you are considering a piercing and want to see how it looks. I’m already eying some other ends for my nipple rings but may be checkin out VCH rings next!
