this *could* be fashion related, depending on how you look at it.
there *is* jewelry involved, but not necessarily the kind that
most people here would be interested in. with that in mind, i
give you the following:
got my lobes dermal punched tonight. 6ga punches, with 4ga
flares. a dermal punch involves a tool much like a holepuncher,
but shaped differently. it takes out a chunk of skin which can
then be replaced with jewelry. got them done at Body Rites of
Austin by Chris Kane (owner).
i've got a pair of James Avery sterling silver hoops available if
anyone's interested.
