Thanksgiving Day

"Thanksgiving Day has been an annual holiday in the United States since 1863. Not everyone sees Thanksgiving Day as a cause for celebration. Each year since 1970, a group of Native Americans and their supporters have staged a protest for a National Day of Mourning at Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts on Thanksgiving Day."
"In the second half of the 1600s, thanksgivings after the harvest became more common and started to become annual events. However, it was celebrated on different days in different communities and in some places there were more than one thanksgiving each year. George Washington, the first president of the United States, proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving Day in 1789."
"Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal. The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables. Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have.
Thanksgiving Day parades are held in some cities and towns on or around Thanksgiving Day. Some parades or festivities also mark the opening of the Christmas shopping season. Some people have a four-day weekend so it is a popular time for trips and to visit family and friends."

Piercing Guide/Info

Navel piercing, also known as a belly piercing, is the piercing of the upper rim of the navel area. Curved barbells are commonly worn with the navel piercing, and its decorative materials can range from balls to dangles. Navel piercings are more popular among females than males.

Standard tongue piercings are piercings located in the center of the tongue which is punctured with a straight barbell. The beads can be of any decorative material, which is then fastened to each end of the barbell.

Plugs are cylindrical piece of jewelry made from various materials, such as surgical steel, glass, wood, and acrylic. In order to keep the jewelry fit into the perforation, plugs are usually flared out or fastened by a second piece known as the o-ring. Plugs are usually larger in diameter than a standard earlobe piercing.
Tunnels are simliar to a standard plug; the only difference would be the ornament being hollow in the center.

The act of intentionally expanding the diameter of a healed piercing is known as stretching. The concept of stretching is to gradually increase the gauge size in small increments to minimize damage and scarring. The process may be assisted with care products, such as Guage Gear Stretching Balm, that are designed to maintain and reduce any potential health related issues. While stretching a piercing is not limited to the earlobe it is more commonly practiced.
Tapers are the ideal jewelry to use in any case of stretching the earlobe. Tapers are a rod-shaped jewelry with a conical shape designed for the purposes of stretching. The rod is primarily lubricated and then inserted from the thinnest point and pushed through the piercing until the widest part of the taper is secured with the skin surrounding the piercing.

Industrial piercings are any two piercings that are connected by a single barbell. In a standard industrial piercing, two holes are first aligned then pierced – one located in the anti-helix area and the other in the helix area. A bar is inserted from the helix piercing to the anti-helix piercing and then fastened by a ball. Any ornaments used to connect the two piercings are known as an industrial barbell.

Tragus Piercing, as the name implies, is the piercing of the tragus, which is located immediately in front of the ear canal. Captive bead rings, earring studs, and barbells are the most popular type of jewelry to be worn with a tragus piercing.

Captive bead rings (CBR) are rings with a slightly smaller opening than the bead, which fits the captive bead. The small opening has indentations on each point so when the bead is fit, the ring naturally depresses the bead and keeps it secured therefore, completing the circuit of the ring.

Labret and Monroe piercings are both classified as lip piercings.
A standard labret piercing is located just below the bottom lip and right above the chin. A labret stud is usually worn with the piercing.
Monroe piercings are the piercing of the lip that is placed off center – usually above the upper lip and on the left hand side. The Monroe piercing is inspired by its resemblance to the “beauty mark” of Marilyn Monroe. Another variation of the piercing is two Monroe piercings, each located on the left and right side of the upper lip, is known as the Angel Bites. Common type of jewelries can range from captive bead rings (CBR) to a labret studs.

Also known as circular barbells because of its resembling shape of a straight barbell. Similar to the straight barbell, the circular horseshoe has a bead that secures the barbell on each end. The circular horseshoe can be used on any type of piercing: helix piercing, cartilage piercing, eyebrow piercing, lip piercing, and etc.

Eyebrow piercings are the piercing from the bottom through the top of the eyebrow which allows the jewelry to be secured in the piercing. A common type of jewelry used for this type of piercing is the curved barbells. However, circular horseshoes and captive bead rings are can be popular as well.

Dermal implants, more specifically, microdermal implants, consist of two parts – the anchor and the ornament. The anchor is implanted under the surface of the skin and the interchangeable ornament is fastened into the threads of the anchor. Dermal anchors are semi-permanent and have a very low rejection rate. When the piercing is no longer desirable, the anchors can be removed with a professional assistant leaving less scarring when removed.

The lippy loop's concept is similar to a circular horseshoe - in order to equip the jewelry, a bead is fastened into the threaded end of the barbell. The only noticeable difference between the lippy loop and the circular barbell is its shape; while the circular barbell has a more circular shape, the lippy loops asymmetrical shape resembles an L. The lippy loop is designed to be secured and loop onto a lip piercing.

New Dreamcatcher Plugs

Dreamcatchers?? In Native American culture, a dream catcher is a form of word for "spider", which is a handmade object based on a willow hoop, on which is woven a loose net or web. The dreamcatcher is then decorated with personal and sacred items such as feathers and beads.  Some consider the dream catcher a symbol of unity among the various Indian Nations, and a general symbol of identification with Native American. The Ojibwa believe that a dreamcatcher changes a person's dreams. The resulting "dream-catcher", hung above the bed, is used as a charm to protect sleeping children from nightmares.
