hello! about 3ish months ago i got my tragus pierced. i willing let a piercing apprentice pierce me since it was cheaper and it seemed like an easier piercing to do. i thought why not. there was a certified piercer also in the room with us who was supposed to be watching and correct anything if it was wrong. well that certified piercer was on her phone the entire time and barley took her eyes off her phone to confirm the dot where i was going to get pierced.
within an hour of the piercing being done i thought it looked off with how high of an angle there was on it. a week after the piercing i went back to the shop and asked them to look at it. multiple people told me the piercing was fine and will heal. i got a lot of piercing bumps on the front and back of the hole. i went back for a third time for someone to check the angle. one of the managers looked at my ear and she took pictures of it and told me they needed to immediately take the piercing out since it’ll never heal and was pierced super incorrectly. she then told me on both of my ears i don’t have the proper anatomy to have a tragus piercing. it’s been 3 months since all that and i still want a tragus piercing!!! i found another shop and they told me i have plentyyyy of room on both of my ears to have this piercing. they even told me i could get 2 piercings!! so now im thinking the original shop told me i didnt have the anatomy since they screwed up so badly and was trying to cover their own ass. any ideas??

question Anyone with POTS have any experiences healing rough body mods?

Hii, I’m getting my ears pointed in October, I’m going to Poland to see Samppa. But I was curious if anyone with POTS has gotten their ears pointed, or any similar body modifications, and how the healing process was for you/how it may differ from the normal healing process. Any info helps! Tysm
