gauging

The process of stretching a person's piercings from one gauge to a higher gauge.

Common gauging movements are from 8g to 6g, 2g to 0g and 1/2"g to 5/8"g.

Gauging too fast can cause tearing or a blowout.

I tore my ear the other day while gauging from a 4g to a 0g.

Protege' of denisbaldwin and linder, This tubby bastard rocks the decks at low rent discos around Detroit.

Often seen performing the shocker on rave sluts and dealing cocaine out his trenchcoat, darkcube is truly a gangsta's gangsta.

I was out cruisin Gratiot when I saw Darkcube punch a cop right up in the eye.

blowout

The expelsion of tissue from the back of a piercing if you are gauging too quickly. The tissue will "blow out" the back of the hole and heal in a lump, causing uneven stretching, tearing or other problems.

While pushing the taper too hard, I managed to blowout my right earlobe.

Richie Hawtin

Also known as the plastikman, Richie Hawtin spins records in the class Detroit Techno sense. He also remixes other works.

Lately, however, he's been putting out things that are surprisingly dashboard and reznor, complete with whining vocals.

While I'm usually rocking out to hard drum and bass or jungle, I always have room to stop and listen to Richie Hawtin.
