when you go pass 10mm or so you wouldn't even feel it stretch. thats if you let it heal for a month or so before stretching again.
fastest way to heal a stretched ear is to do vitamin E oil rubs.

not familiar with gauges la, around here they go by diameter one, so i not too sure about gauges.
if i were to guess mine would either be a 00 or a 0 gauge. 16mm diameter, left lobe. planning to get the other one done soon though

i lost my site for the japanese design already ler, if you wan i can hook you up with some of the pictures i gotten online.
you can basically check for jap tattoo designs on japanese tattoo sites though, for example catclaw tattoo, and a few others, cant remember now.

have not touch the right lobe. am planning to get both to 20 or so. afraid to get a new piercing, have been busy and always not enough rest.
my body really hates being pierced, my industrial on the left ear also F'ed cause of bump.
i'm from klang though, but basically does all my stuff at zoo. still havent found any place besides zoo that i can trust.

owh, and i saw a post about micro dermals. zoo is doing it, i am prolly the first guy in malaysia with a micro dermal implant on the face.

thats prolly how EVERY tattoo artist gets their stencil over onto your body.
even a super complicated piece.
i am a guy against cheap tattoos, i always lecturer people when they wanna get cheap tattoos done.
you might think thats its cool now, but ink WILL smear, if done cheaply, will prolly fade as well.
so a good design is a must and do remember that you'll be having it for life, you dont wanna have a black patch of ink on your body when you're like 50 no?

i dont club much, only once in a blue moon when theres a reason to get drunk and have fun with friends.
highly doubt thats me in zouk that you saw.

anti eyebrows or also known as teardrops

seriouly asking here, how much do you know about tattoos to be giving advise to someone? note that im not bashing you. i just wanna say that only tattoo artist or people who are in that business would be best to advise as they themself know best. i really couldn't see why someone who is only studying right now could fork out money for expensive mobile phones/laptops/digital cams and drives a car priced close to 100k could not afford a tattoo more then 300+.

i just checked your post on the design you wanted, that will seriously look shitty when shrink down to 2-3 inch. why you ask? you even noticed that its a back piece? shrinking it down, its even hard to draw. its easier if you could just print it out to the size you wan, and try tracing it from there. with bold lines, it'll seriously look like a black cube rather then lines when the ink starts to smear.

note that im not BASHING you, just seriously though. think about it. im not saying that you're cheap, just that this is something that will be on your body for the rest of your life, if you're really serious about getting a tattoo, get a good one.

120'ish if my lousy memory serves me right.
