Hey all. I don't know if anyone on here is as in to tattoos and stretching your ears but I am in high hopes here.

I am currently sitting at a 2g, I believe, and my tapers are acrylic. I have a Nickle allergy so I came use any kind of metal, including Sterling silver or tungsten.

I am having a major issue with keeping them free of "smegma " and it's disgusting. I wash my tapers and my ear lobes EVERY SINGLE DAY with Irish spring. Sometimes I use rubbing alcohol because Irish spring doesn't rid the smell away and neither does antibacterial soap.

Is there another type of taper that isn't a porous or as prone to bacteria that would work better?

I've only encountered a Prince Albert a couple of times.

I would be cautious about extrapolating too much from that experience.

I have a vagina and a prince Albert sounds painful even to myself. Fucking ouch!lol

You might want to think about your ability to support yourself with regard to being employable.
Appearance matters.
Don't fool yourself.

My daughter wanted a tattoo. She was about 17 or 18.
I said,"Wait till you are 25 then do it".
Knowing that by then she would have acquired sufficient wisdom to forget it.
In typical daughter fashion, she went and got one.
Years later, she had the lazer treatment to try to lessen the thing.
That helped a lot.

What's a Prince Albert?

If I have learned one valuable lesson in my life that I would like to share it is, don't ask questions. Not here. Not this.

TGA I don't know what smegma is (and I don't really want to know either), but I always struggled with earrings. I don't know much about all of this, but I know that if I put anything besides gold in my ears the result is awful. It takes less that 15 minutes for the swelling and itching. Maybe you haven't found the right material to use still?

Discovery will probably lead to you stabbing yourself in the eyes.

That's gotta hurt!
I think I'll rather be eaten slowly by hyenas.

The paganization of the West has brought some of the bizarre practices of those people groups like piercings and disfiguring.
Owners of business, dealing with the public are very sensitive about how their efforts are perceived.
Maybe in central Africa this stuff would be more accepted- but not likely here.

I am shocked to see an otherwise pretty ( or plain) girl screw up her face.
I don't get it.
I suspect there is some subliminal subculture influencing this.
Is this the case?
Do they hate themselves?

Better than by drop bears.

Those fuckers are evil.
