New pierced coolhead the coolest!

                                   coolhead_pierced.jpg

We finally have pierced coolheads!  Each one comes pierced just like the picture with actual body jewelry.  These exclusive coolheads have a hole in the bottom which lets you put them on a variety of things including pens and car antennas. Its a stocking stuffer or good just to put on pens in your business.  Not only are they sweet looking but they also help keep pens from being lost. The pen I have with the coolhead on it is the only one i can ever find :) .

Hot new Mag plugs for gauged ears are a must have!

It is my pleasure to announce that we now carry Mag plugs. Each plug looks like an expensive aftermarket car rim.  We have several styles and sizes that range from 6mm to 20mm . I am really impressed with the quality and how these plugs look in gauged ears. We are offering the plugs in three different colors: red, silver, and black.  Currently my ears are only zero guage but after seeing these plugs i think i might go up to half inch!

Body Piercing Insertion Tapers.. Calor vs. Arrow style

The purpose of a Piercing Insertion taper is to help increase the size of a piercing  from a smaller gauge to a larger gauge. ie a 6g up to a 4g.

 There are two styles of tapers which we have developed and now currently sell.

Arrow Style - Jewelry sits flush to the taper and is followed through after the taper.

Advantages of Arrow Style
Piercing is stretched to exactly the size intended. No overstretching.

Disadvantages of Arrow Style
A lot harder to follow jewelry behind the taper. Increase chance of losing the connection inside the piercing.

Calor Style  - Jewelry actually sits inside the taper and is followed through with the taper.
Advantages of Calor Style
No Chance of losing the jewelry during the taper
Quicker and easier to taper with

Disadvantages of Calor Style
Its a little bit thicker then the actual gauge your tapering to.

From personal experience with both of these tapers. I prefer the calor taper. I stretched my lobes from 10g up to 7/16″ (current) and during my stretches i had a very hard time with the arrow style. On more then one occasion i would lose connection with the taper as i was pushing the taper through and following with the jewelry.
