Flesh Tunnels

[slopes]

Any modders looking for good quality, surgical steel, fine-threaded male/female, tubes (for end caps, etc) might want to check out 'flesh tunnels'. These jewellery items are used by people wanting to gradually widen a hole in their ears (!!! - don't ask). They come in a great range of sizes - in increments from 2mm up to 25mm and more - so a modder can select one fine tuned to the requirements of a device they are building... for a battery tube, atty/tank enclosure etc.

I've bought a few and find them very useful. Look for the threaded ones. Here's an ebay supplier but they seem to be widely available (in titanium too).

That's what I've always heard then referred to.

Gauge refers to size, they're called plugs, or jewelry in the body mod world. Some people actually get offended if you ask if they gauged your ears and then lecture you on how it's stretching and not gauging. Just thought I would give you some insight on the matter


Anywho plugs will usually turn up what you're looking for

He said "Flesh Tunnels" ... (insert evil Beavis and Butthead laugh here) ...

OT: they do look like they might make a good thread cover for an adapter like a 510-ego, etc...

They're called plugs. Gauges are a size. It would be like calling shirts, sizes.

I take it you have stretched before. I had a 0 in my septum I wish I would have kept it would probably fit a 510 connected like a glove. 00 0 or maybe a 2 would probably fit the targeted applications in here

Sorry, I do not use them. I was just going off of what I have heard from other people.

I don't think anyone got offended haha it's not like stretching holes in ones body is everyone's cup of tea. We were just trying to help you find them a bit easier
