How can i change the color of my white silicone plugs?
I have recently bought a pair of white tunnel plugs (earrings) and have become bored of the white color. I have been looking for a way to dye them, or change their color but they happen to be silicone so they have a very smooth, non-porous surface and i was wondering if it was even possible. If anyone knows of a way to color silicone or has any suggestions at all please leave a comment.
Get titanium ones. You can’t change the colour of silicone, but with titanium or steel, you can paint the face of it with nail polish. Just don’t get it on the wearable area.
And when you get bored of whatever colour it is, just wipe it off with some remover.
You could just get new silicone ones tbh, they’re really not that expensive!
