Guiche/Lorum
Return to DiscussionsI've had my PA now for 2 years and I am at 2g. I think I'll stay here. The piercing bug is striking and I'm tossed between a guiche and a lorum. I've done quite a bit of research and emailed a few people. From your experiences, what have you found? Have you had problems? What gauge did you start at? What style jewelry is most comfortable? I called my piercer and spoke with him already, he said to get both. I'm thinking Christmas as I have some time off to do SeaSaltSoaks easier and I don't have to sit at my desk. Thanks.
Go for the guiche. I have had one for a few years now. It started at 14 ga which was probably too small. Over time it has been up to 8 gauge but I have settled at a 10ga 1/2" CBR as best for me. If it had been pierced deeper initially I would probably like the larger gauges a little more but for a lot of reasons the size I have seems right for me at this point. It took a while to heal but it wasn't nearly as bad a process as some of the stories I have read. The CBR works better for me than a barbell whether curved or straight. With the CBR I can rotate it easily to ensure it is clean. That is the key IMO.
I have other piercings but the guiche is special and the one the fewest people know about and have seen. It can be fun to show if the opportunity presents itself.
