Ear Gauge Funk, the causes and how to fix it, ear stretching / gauging


http://kingsbodyjewelry.com

Ear funk is common problem for those with stretched ears over 6 or 4 gauge. It comes from a build up of dead skin cells that are trapped on the inside of your plugs. The best ways to eliminate this problem is by either washing your plugs everyday in the shower, or to wear wooden plugs (which are porous and will naturally absorb the grossness of your dead skin cells).

Be sure to check out our website if you are interested getting wood plugs for ear funk problems. We have quite a few different styles of wood plugs from 6 gauge up to 2 inches. We also carry TONS of stretching kits, and have a huge inventory of plugs and other body jewelry. So check us out, you won’t be dissapointed.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, I would be glad to help!

QUESTION: Would you be capable of doing for example the foot binding or put the lip plugs in the name of your religion, country or society?

———Foot Binding————-
In the 10th century, in China, legend says a prince began the practice of foot binding because he loved the small “Lily Feet” of his concubine. The tiny foot became the mark of a wealthy and well-born woman.
For over 1000 years, rich women had their feet bound. The new Republic banned foot binding in 1912, and the custom finally died out in the 1930’s.
Foot binding began between the ages of four and seven. A strip of bandage ten feet long and two inches wide was wrapped tightly around the foot. The four small toes were broken and bent under the sole. The arch of the foot was bowed to make the foot shorter.
The bandage was tightened each day and the foot was put into smaller and smaller shoes.
In two years, the process was finished. By then, the foot was useless for walking very far.
Bound feet had to be washed and cared for daily. If toe nails grew into the instep, infection could set in. If the bindings were too tight, gangrene and blood poisoning could occur. The bound foot was painful and tender forever. It often had an unpleasant smell.

———Tongue Tattoos————-
Although many arent familiar with tongue tattoos yet, they are just now starting to take shape. They resemble other designs and styles, although they cover the muscle known as the tongue. There are tattoos that cover the entire tongue, or just a single area. In most cases, those who already have them, chose to have their tongue tattooed a certain color. Whether it be purple, orange, black, or blue, the tongue can be tattooed a variety of different colors.
The designs that are poplar with tongue tattoos include stars, tribal work, and other shapes and designs that cover a region of the tongue. Stars are popular with the lower area of the tongue, near the tip. There are also designs that can be tattooed her back on the tongue, near the middle of it. As tongue tattoos become more and more popular, more and more designs are implemented.
As far as the procedure goes, its very similar to getting a tattoo on any other part of your body. A tattoo involved needles puncturing the skin, depositing ink into the epidermis. The needles move extremely fast, breaking the skin and leaving the pigments of ink. The tongue, just like the skin, will swallow the pigments once the surface has been punctured by the needle. Once the pigments of ink are absorbed by the tongue, the color will remain there forever.
Those who have had tongue tattoos in the past say that they arent very painful. Unlike tattoos on the skin, the tongue is a giant muscle. A tattoo on the tongue is often described as a tickling sensation or the feeling of numbness in your mouth. When the tattoo artist does the tattoo, he will normally use a tool to hold the tongue out. If youve ever had a tongue piercing, youll know what it looks like. Once the tongue is out, the artist will begin work. The process normally does take very long, as long you hold still and dont move around.

———Abdominal Etching————-
The technique, called abdominal etching, is a kind of precision liposuction. The doc sucks out the fat that’s standing between the patient and, if everything goes well, the six-pack. The suction six-pack costs between $4,000 and $7,000 and is only suitable for certain patients.
The procedure takes an hour or two. But pain can persist for days afterward. Swelling can last for weeks or even months. (The after picture was taken a little over a year after the surgery.) And there can be complications, such as infection and bleeding.

———Lips Plugs————-
A lip plate, also known as a lip plug or lip disc, is a form of body modification. Increasingly larger discs are inserted into a pierced hole in either the upper or lower lip, or both, thereby stretching it. The term labret (pronounced LAY-bret) denotes all kinds of pierced-lip ornaments, including plates and plugs.
In Africa, a lower lip plate is usually combined with the excision of the two lower front teeth, sometimes all four. Among the Sara people, (Lobi) a plate is also inserted into the upper lip. Other tribes, such as the Makonde, wear a plate in the upper lip only. In many older sources it is reported that the plate’s size is a sign of social or economical importance. However, because of natural mechanical attributes of human skin, it seems that the plate’s size often just depends on the stage of stretching of the lip.
