We're continuing on with our quest to upgrade to plugs with more colour and more shiny, and our Alien Skin textured faux dichro plugs were the next in line.

Alien skin plugs now have a more luminous effect; they're not glow in the dark or anything like that, they're just more, well, oooomphy these days. We've added a few more varieties of colour as well, and their names just have numbers instead of being part-named after old Pink Floyd songs. However, we have had to let go of the of Alien Skin (Small Furry Creatures) plugs, but they will make a sort of return in the near future in a different form. But, all is not lost; if you really needed a pair, or replacement for one you've lost, then please make a Special Order and we'll get onto that for you.

Alien Skin Textured Faux Dichroic Plugs GaugesAnyway, the new plugs! Here is a quick list of links to their respective listings over at https://lopl.uk plug and ear weights shop.

Alien Skin 01 Purple Green Textured Faux Dichro Plugs
Alien Skin 02 Pink Orange Rainbow Textured Faux Dichro Plugs
Alien Skin 03 Lime Green Blue Textured Faux Dichro Plugs
Alien Skin 04 Purple Rainbow Textured Faux Dichro Plugs
Alien Skin 05 Blue Copper Purple Textured Faux Dichro Plugs
Alien Skin 06 Red Rainbow Textured Faux Dichro Plugs

You can also get these at our Etsy, Ebay, and Amazon Handmade shops.

As you can see, they come in six different colour combos, and are listed at sizes 8mm - 25mm (8mm - 16mm at Ebay), single or double flared. They're listed in 316L surgical steel, but we can go bigger, or make them in titanium or wood via the good old Special Orders form. The backs of the plugs are colour-matched the base colour of the fronts, and are opaque and slightly-domed, so you've got two plugs in one if you get double flareds, which is always nice.

Our product photos were looking a bit tired, and were also a bit small and cluttered. After much thought, we made the brave decision to go through each and every plug type and get nice, big, zoomable photos of them all. Which led us to think, why don't we go through each and every plug type, and see what else we can do with them.

We started with the Aberration plugs. We're doing this all alphabetically, you see, it was the only way to get some sort of order out of the chaos of new ideas that were seemingly flooding in from all over the place.

But I digress. Aberrations are now upgraded with even more shiny, and even more colourfulness now that they come in 7 different colour-shifting combos. The colours are as follows:
01: Purple with blue teal flash
02: Red with green orange flash
03: Magenta with rainbow flash
04: Blue with yellow green flash
05: Purple with rainbow flash
06: Orange with blue teal flash
07: Magenta with blue teal flash

You can find these gorgeous plugs in sizes 6mm / 2g up to 25mm / 1" over at our main custom shop at lopl.uk, or have a look at our Etsy listings. Fancy these in wood, glass, or titanium? Make a Special Order, and we'll see what we can do for you :)

New at lopl.uk: Deep Ocean of RGB plugs. These are lovely little fellas; they're a gorgeous translucent red topped off with blue, green and teal iridescent faux dichroic flashes of colour. They're deep-set as well, so there's more colour-action going on than with the standard Ocean of RGB plugs.

They're very nice. Photos don't do them justice.

These have actually been a while in the making, as we could never get them quite right (all sorts of weird stuff, some ugly, happened when they cured, which ruined their super-prettiness). However, we don't like to be beaten by weird, ugly things that can happen during the manufacturing process, so we pushed on and I think we've won now.

Deep Ocean of RGB plugs are available now in sizes 8mm / 0g up to 25mm / 1", single or double flared, 316L surgical steel, titanium or wood. We might be able to do these in other colour combos as well, so give us a shout over at Special Orders for the custom plugs of your dreams.

These customisable Heart-Eyed Skull ear weights / hangies have been a long time in the making. The inital batch was made up November 2018 (or thereabouts), with one pair being completed and listed, but things got in the way, or broke, or ran out, so the others were put on hold.

However! The heart skull weights are not on hold anymore, they're now listed in the shop (with the exception of the silver-toned aluminium ones, they're awaiting polishing). Each listing has diifferent configurations, just as a few examples of how you can customise them.

First up are the copper heart-eyed skull ear weights / hangies. These have rose-gold-plated hooks, and fit through thin-walled tunnels 6mm / 2g and over. You can wear these in naked piercings as well, but only for short periods. Weight of these is ~26g.

Next we have the brass and blue haematite heart-eyed skull ear weights / hangies. These have brass saddle spreader hooks, and are lovely and comfortable to wear. The flares on these saddles do verge on the very large side, so unless you have very stretchy ears you may be better off getting a smaller size.  These come in sizes (big) 8mm  / 0g and over and weight ~32g.

And finally (for now) the Madagascan labradorite dark-silver-toned heart-eyed skull ear weights / hangies. These have been cold cast in iron, and have stainless steel hooks. These can be worn in naked piercings for however long is comfortable, or through tunnels size 8mm / 0g and over, and weigh in ~29g. The labradorite has a nice bit of flash on it as well, which is always good.

Fancy something different? You can make a special order for custom ear plugs / ear weights with this handy form.

Heart-Eyed Skull Facts! The skulls used for these are based on the Love-Skull design by FP-Creator; you can find their original model on the Thingiverse. These particular ones were optimised for ear weight fabness in Blender and 3D Builder, then printed in resin before being moulded and cold-cast into the ones pictured.
