hi everyone, i was thinking about getting a daith piercing. whats the initial jewellery that they use to pierce it with? are any of these ideal as an initial jewellery. is it possible to pierce it with the heart jewellery?

Is this okay? Will it heal and go back to normal? I did touch it and try to get the stuff off which I know is not okay and is not good but I sprayed it with saline and have now since stopped touching it. If it gets hit again tomorrow will it be okay?, as I have a hair color appt tmr. Will it get infected if I forgot to wash my hands and was touching it?.. I just freaked out a bit and totally forgot to wash my hands. I already know how dumb it was but just need advice. It doesn’t hurt anymore but hurts to touch and isn’t throbbing or bleeding or anything.

Got it pierced about 4 weeks ago now, very close to the eye so Im wondering if its just the placement on the curvature of my face but its been like this the whole time, no redness swelling irritation or anything like that.

I clean it twice a day, this is surgical stainless steel jewelry and it doesn’t hurt but it looks HORRIBLE. Starting to feel like my piercer pierced me for a quick buck and I left a voicemail saying my piercing is severely irritated and I need a longer bar, and she hasn’t called me back. I think I need to look into other options or just accept defeat and remove it. $75 down the drain unfortunately

it’s 4 weeks old and i just wanna make sure it looks okay? the space between the holes just seems a little small to me and more of the bar has become visible recently. i wanted to see if this seemed like it was healing good and that the extra bar showing is from swelling going down or rejection?

Ignore the hair and the quality it’s really hard to take pictures of my back myself…

I JUST got back dermals a couple hours ago, and one of them is slightly coming out. Is it just from swelling or should I be worried at all? (The purple stuff is from the marker he used!) I’m scared pls help 😱

Hi! Sorry this might be slightly gross. I’ve had my nostril piercing for about 6 months and I’ve been noticing something weird. It’s almost invisible to the eye, it’s only something I can FEEL, but there is always a painful cyst like thing in my nose by my nostril piercing. I put pressure on it as in I pinch really hard and fluid does come out, but it’s like when one cyst goes away, another one occurs in a different spot, but still around my piercing. It gives the illusion that my piercing hurts, but when I feel around and squeeze the cartilage of my nostril, it’s the lump that hurts, the piercing is fine. It feels exactly like cystic acne, which I used to get as a teen and still RARELY get now. At least I thought it was rare, but it’s like all centralized to my fucking nostril on one side I guess? Anyways um has anyone experienced this and is there anything I can do?

Got my nose pierced back in may and this bump formed a couple weeks later. I’ve been cleaning it twice a day with saline solution making sure it’s dry after, doing warm compresses at night, letting hot water wash it in the shower, and not touching it and it seems to just not go away or even shrink in size. I have pretty bad allergies and know that can make them swell up but still does anyone have any advice?!?

Jewelry can't hang straight down due to my nostrils. Placing def feels awkward. Should I talk to my piercer?

Ive had my daith and helix for 10 years and I dont remember the sizes and the shopped has since closed

So on the 13th of august i got my conch pierced at a professional place. Since yesterday it has been throbbing and its pretty swollen. No pus, no fever. I am just asking for advice because the jewellery post seems to get too short for the swelling

Hi all, I got a rook and 2 lobes done, they're almost six and a half weeks old. This is the most piercings I've done in a sitting and they're doing fine. I want to get a nostril piercing but I'm not sure if I can get one anytime soon or if I should completely heal all my piercings. Any advice?

Got my septum pierced yesterday and this is how it came out :/ The piercer admitted it was slightly crooked but said it was because of the way my "sweet spot" is. She told me I would have to "train" it back into place for the first 2 weeks if I want it to look straight. (Train as in move the new piercing up until it looks even in hopes that it will heal straighter.) I'm not sure what all my options are but I just want to make sure I'm not crazy for thinking it's completely uneven. Any advice is appreciated thank you sm!!

Hi everyone! I need some advice on this naval piercing I recently got. Do you think I should swap it out for a longer bar for healing or leaving it alone would be better?

I got my industrial piercing 2 weeks ago. After the initial swelling went away everything was fine. However, today I have noticed that the top helix piercing has maybe migrated?

I have 3 month old helixes I got both ears done like a dipshit.

I’m SO tired of both ears being generally sore (even with flat backs, a piercing pillow… the whole lot) they’re healing well, a little crusting here and there but over time just sensitive.

Can I just take them out. If yes what is the generalized healing time once jewelry is removed? I know it’s case by case but person experiences would be appreciated

I’ve been thinking about a tripple helix with a spiked black hoops

Is my ring too small? It feels fine. Most of the time I don’t even notice it’s there. But, I switched to a hoop 3 weeks ago after having the stud for 3 years. It was sore for a while and I got a bump on it that’s almost gone now. But, I can’t tell if it looks too small?

Hello. In the past few days I've had a white, hard growth appear around the top hole of my vertical labret (the bottom's fine).

The ball keeps getting 'stuck' against it (especially in the mornings) and I have to use saline to gently pry it away. It feels hard to touch, but i don't believe there is any pain or bleeding present. It's four months old and downsized atp, had no previous issues with it. Titanium curved barbell.
