Flesh ear tunnels order cheap online
Flesh tunnels have a long tradition and have been worn by indigenous peoples all over the world for hundreds of centuries. Today they are also becoming increasingly popular in Western culture. Like many piercings that were first worn primarily within the various scenes and by musicians and artists, flesh tunnels are now enjoying increasing popularity outside of the scenes as well. Tunnels - or flesh tunnels - are usually worn as a variant of earrings. Although they can also be worn on other parts of the body. The tunnels are inserted into the widened ear hole. As the word tunnel suggests, the jewelry is hollow inside and has a different diameter depending on the format. To avoid inflammation and the formation of odors, the flesh tunnel and the tunnel ear must be cleaned regularly. There are special piercing care products for this. If you take this into account, you will have a lot of fun with this breathtaking piercing.
Tunnel ear: various options at a glance
Stretching the tunnel is probably the most commonly used method, but it can also be cut and punched. When stretching, you proceed in millimeter increments. You only widen a few millimeters at a time and take several weeks to do this before increasing the stretch further. You must proceed carefully so that your tunnel is not injured, for example by tearing. This often happens if you stretch the ear hole in steps that are too large. In most cases, you stretch an existing ear piercing and start at around 1.2 mm. Cutting with a scalpel or punching is quicker. Punching out the flesh tunnel is called a dermal punch. This method is used primarily for a larger tunnel that is supposed to go through the ear cartilage.
The piercing jewelry for the tunnels is made from a variety of materials.
Silicone tunnels, like plastic tunnels, are very popular because of their bright colors - and of course because they are very light and therefore very comfortable to wear. Tunnels made of stainless steel, plastic and titanium tunnels are also very popular and very comfortable to wear. Many of the materials used for the tunnels are also organic, for example flesh tunnels made of wood or tunnels made of horn are often and happily worn. You could say that the flesh tunnel is a special type of ear piercing. Taffstyle offers you a large selection of tunnels in different colors, shapes and designs. Have fun choosing!
