I normally wear stone, but I bought these during a BOGO flash sale in 5/8ths. They just looked too cool to not buy. I get comments and compliments on these every day that I wear them. I love skulls, especially animal skulls, and these blur the line between human and animalistic in their style. The finish is great, I love the distressed/worn look on the brass. I didn't realize they were screw-fit until they arrived, but it worked out in my favor. I have pretty meaty lobes, and plugs/tunnels with a low flare or a narrow wearable tend to fall out. These have never fallen out, and I don't ever see it happening. I wore them in the pits at a Gojira show and they stayed put. The back didn't even come loose. People love them, I love them, and I'm very happy with my purchase. Excellent design in both form and function. These are my favorite pair of plugs/tunnels.
