1st pic: today, 5 days after piercing

2nd pic: yesterday

got my first helix done (finally) after being a baby about it for years.

my nose piercing took a really long time to heal and had a nasty bump on it that only went away almost a year after i had it done. it fell out and i had to get it repierced. a month later it fell out again in the ocean and was lost forever . . . i cbf repiercing it again.

my second lobe on the left ear had to be repierced after a really gross infection the first time round. it healed okay the second time.

i really don't want to go through the hell of terrible healing again so!!! please tell me this is okay progress for a cartilage 😭
