A New Perspective on Plugs

I have to admit, I've never really understood the whole piercing spacer style. You know, where someone pierces their ears then gradually makes that hole larger and larger? I've actually seen a few that made my stomach turn.

That said? I came across a shop the other day that gave me a whole new perspective on this style of piercing.

Usually, you see spacers inserted that aren't particularly decorative. Sometimes they're hollow and just a ring so you can see all the way through. Many look like plugs. Either plain plugs or with something like a gem tucked in them.

At Pearce Dunlap, though, you can find spacers that are tiny, unique pieces of art. I think if I'd seen more people with such pretty and ultimately intriguing pieces in their ears, I might have been given a completely different first impression of this style of piercing because, I have to admit, I find these plugs very, very intriguing.

Pearce Dunlap has everything from Van Gogh reproductions in miniature on their plugs to cogs and wheels for those with a sense of Steampunk style. Happy faces, Coca Cola, Converse and Darth Vader sit along side with Pokemon, Steampunk gears, clock faces and much more! They even do made-to-order so you can custom order what you want.

So, if you're looking for a little variety and intrigue in your plugs and gauges, you really need to stop by and take a peek. It might give you a new perspective on this style of jewelry, too, if you were one of those (like myself) that had been carrying around a somewhat negative first impression!
