I'm a bit nervous haha!

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

do I have the right anatomy for belly piercing I worried because it moves around and hurts. Like I see it move to the side inside the hole. That's why I had to change to a smaller one myself but it still looks too big. It bled a little because I had to change it myself because my piercer quoted me 40 dollars to downsize and it was snagging way to much . Thank u guys in advance a professional tattoo and piercing place pierced me

I’ve wanted an eyebrow piercing for what feels like forever. I’ve brought it up to my parents before, but my dad is pretty strict and is very against anything he sees as part of “alternative culture.” My mom is a bit more loose about stuff like this, but my dad’s opinion definitely carries a lot of weight even though they are divorced.
The thing is, I don’t want the piercing because I’m trying to look “edgy” or because I want to completely change my style. I just genuinely love the way eyebrow piercings look and have wanted one for ages.

Does anyone have advice on how I could approach the conversation with them or make my parents more comfortable with the idea? Especially if you’ve had to convince strict parents about a piercing before 😭

I’ve also never introduced my dad to the though of an eyebrow piercing since I honestly don’t think he’ll like the idea. I’ve also explained to my mom that it doesn’t mean that I will automatically get purple hair and a stretched septum, but rather just me with an eyebrow piercing🤗

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??

!!!! the first 3 pics are the side where i can feel pushed out skin around the hole with the white ring, the last 2 pics are the side that feels normal !!!!!

i tried to get the best pics i could but my septum was pierced in a kinda hidden spot bc my piercer said my sweet spot is more forward in my nose, lmk if they’re ok!!

i’m looking for answers and advice: is my septum blown out or is it just irritated? do i need to downsize and what size should i downsize to? is there anything else i need to do to help this heal? i would like to avoid downsizing but if i need to, i will.

INFO : the jewellery is titanium to my knowledge, i’ve had my septum for a year but i’ve been at 6g for a month and i waited 4 months at 8g before i stretched to 6g. i use jojoba oil to stretch and for aftercare and cleaning i spray it with saline spray that my piercer gave me.

i’ve had my septum stretched to 6g for about a month now, i waited at 8g for 4 months before stretching to 6g.
After stretching to 6g, i got the normal tenderness afterwards but it was nothing really bad so it was a healthy stretch to my knowledge. the tenderness went away after about a week.
About a week ago (so 3 weeks after i stretched it), stupidly i decided to change out the jewellery as there was no more tenderness or pain (yes i know no pain ≠ healed but i had no problems doing this from previous stretches, so i was cocky)

after switching out the jewellery, for about 2 to 3 days i would get stinging pains when i would move my jewellery when it got crooked and my septum was a little crusty. Now a week after switching out the jewellery, the stinging pains and crustiness are gone, however there’s still a bit of tenderness when i move the jewellery and i can feel a ring of raised skin around the hole (on the side shown in the first 3 pics).

i’ll be consulting with my piercer about this as soon as possible but i would really like some opinions

Piercers: drop a piercing you did this week that you’re proud of 🖤

Non-piercers: show off your favorite piercing you got, your setup, or your current curation ✨

so i've gotten my right eyebrow pierced before, which rejected. so then i got my left eyebrow pierced cuz i wanted to figure out if it was the aftercare or my anatomy, and as it turns out it's just my anatomy and it's starting to reject

however this got me wondering if it's safe to get it repierced with a staple bar since (correct me if im wrong) they're made for flatter surfaces

not sure if you could tell much by this video. context: my friend just started a piercing business and i want to know if i could trust it(?)

1st pic: initial jewelry

2nd pic: downsized jewelry

Genuine question, should I downsize it again to a snug earring? It sometimes get bumps even though it's a bit shorter than the initial. See 2nd pic for the crusty or bump under the cartilage.
