Piercing Question. Anyone?

[T]

I have 2 new piercings lobe and cartilage.  They are not very happy w/the captive ball hoops, swollen tender after a month.  I have very picky ears and advised my piercer about this.  Has anyone used Bio-plast, BioFlex or PTFE in new piercings?  Which would be best and what gauge and what style?

Thanks for any input.  And yes the is wayyyy off topic! :)

I'd say put gold in your piercings until they've cured properly otherwise whatever you put in next will react. Congratulations on being the most off topic post I've read.

Thanks for your input.  And yes I know way off topic, but I noticed some people here having piercings so thought I'd ask.  Hope it was ok to do so.

Ask this Cat.LOL Wouldn't you think your piercer would know these questions? If they don't, go to a professional who would know.

You could do this, to keep your mind off the infected piercings. LOL

I've seen the tongue being pierced on a documentary, AND NO!! I whine like a wimp when the lava from the pizza rolls, that I nuke, shoots out onto my tongue.
