Fake Gauges

In the world of ear piercing, gauging has become very popular. Young and old people practice the art of stretching out their ears to limits that are unimaginable. This is not native to western cultures by any means. Cultures around the world have pierced body parts and have stretched the skin to extreme lengths. However, that is not practical for many people in some societies. In many parts of the world, this technique is sometimes frowned upon and people look down upon those who do it. However, there are solutions for those people who want to give off the appearance that they have gauged their ears but still keep the skin at a more “normal” point. Fake gauges are the solution for these people and they have become extremely popular over the past few years.

What are Fake Gauges?

Fake gauges, sometimes referred to as fake plugs, are earrings that give the appearance that someone might have stretched their ear. The diameter of the outer piece of the jewelry can vary depending on the gauge that the person wants to give off. However, that is just an illusion that they give off. In reality, the actual part that goes though the pierced ear is a much more manageable in terms of thickness. Just a thin piercing is needed in a fake gauge piercing. Both sides of the jewelry will show a gauge that is much larger than the actual piercing itself.

Benefits of Fake Gauges

A fake gauge allows someone to still be practical in their work/school life and be a bit more alternative in their personal life. The physical commitments are not there with fake gauges because the jewelry does not demand them. You can also really surprise someone with a pair of fake gauges. They might initially think you have gone off the deep end with your ear stretching and you can take them out and have a good laugh. Fake gauges can also save someone extra money if they wanted to go though the whole piercing process of getting wider gauged ears. Sometimes extra piercing might be required instead of traditional stretching methods. Fake gauges are just a piece of jewelry.

Cost of Fake Gauges

Fake gauges can be found in several locations. You can find them in some piercing parlors or tattoo shops, but it has become very popular to find them in online shops. In the online world, you can easily find single fake gauge jewelry for 5 to 10 dollars. Depending on where you buy them, and the quality of the material, the price will vary. The materials for fake gauges can vary as well. Some of them are made with different plastics, glass, and stainless steel. You can also find fake wooden gauges in different areas. These materials will have a huge impact on the cost.

Eyebrow Rings

Eyebrow rings and eyebrow piercings have become more popular over the years. We’re beyond the day and age when ears are the only piece of a body that is pierced. The eyebrow has been one of the most pieced body parts in many different subcultures of the youth across the world. One of the big reasons eyebrow rings and eyebrow piercing has become so popular is because of the way it accents an individual’s face. Because the piercing is right above the eye, a lot of attention is placed on the eyes and upper face area. The piercing is great to use in conjunction with many other body modification techniques.

Eyebrow rings are typically throw into two different categories when it comes to how they are threaded. The threading of the jewelry basically refers to what part of the jewelry has the male and female part of the screw. There are eyebrow rings that have the male portion of the thread on the ring/bar and others that have it in the cap/barbell portion. Depending on who you talk with, there are preferences to which jewelry is better. Many professional piercers will prefer that their clients have the mail portion of the thread on the cap portion of the jewelry. This prevents potential damage to the pierced location when it is fresh. However after a piercing has healed, it should be relatively safe to use most kinds of jewelry.

There are several styles when it comes to eyebrow rings. There are some eyebrow rings for women and there are also some eyebrow rings for men. However, there is a huge amount of jewelry that is designed to be used by all genders. Men and women can both enjoy the same jewelry. Stainless steel and chrome looks are some of the most popular types of eyebrow rings. Many of the caps on the jewelry will have little barbells or tiny spikes. When you branch away from the standard chrome look you will find a huge range of alternatives. You can find all kinds of colors and there are several pieces that have vanity looking caps. You name it and you can generally find it. Eyebrow rings are also not always full rings. In reality, eyebrow jewelry will typically be a half or partial ring. They will generally only show a small piece of the barbell and the cap portions stick out.

Eyebrow rings are really not that expensive. You can find many cool eyebrow rings for around five dollars. When you get to the lower price of things, you might find that the rings don’t use stainless steel or other materials that should be used on a fresh piercing. You might want to avoid these fancy pieces of jewelry while your piercing heals. When you start to get farther into quality pieces of jewelry, you can easily see them jump into the 10 and 20 dollar price range. Typically, the more expensive pieces of jewelry will have the male threads on the barbell portion. You can also expect to pay several dollars if you need to replace barbells for an eyebrow ring. Just make sure they are attached firmly in the first place.
