Hey guys,
So, I had my septum stretched to an 8g for about 4 years when I went to see my doctor about a recurring sinus infection (about 6mo), which ultimately turned out to have nothing to do with the piercing, which is what I told the doctor when he asked me to remove the ring and wear no jewelry for 2 weeks.
After 2 weeks empty, the hole closed, not entirely but enough that I couldn't any jewelry I owned into it. So after a few months of missing the ring, I went back to my piercer and starting with a 16g taper we went up a couple of steps and I am currently wearing a 12g captive bead.
I plan to go back and stretch back up to 8g and here is why I am posting.
I am having the damndest time finding any small diameter captive bead jewelry in an 8g. I'm looking for something with a pretty small profile like 10mm or 11mm internal diameter in an 8g ring.
I thought maybe some of you guys might have info on a resource that I don't. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
