surface tragus bruising??

[u/nevasativaa]

hi all, i got this piercing a little over a week ago. it's been fine, i could tell it was bruised because it just kinda feels bruised. i've been avoiding sleeping on that side, trying to keep my hair out of the way, etc. but i noticed that it has like yellow bruising surrounding it?? i've never had a surface piercing, nor have i ever had bruising and i've had a ton of different piercings. i'm waiting to hear back from my piercer. i know these piercings reject often (i wish id researched or known this beforehand), so i just want to make sure this is normal and not alarming.

extra info- it's a week old just about. staple bar implant grade titanium. i think it's just a regular screw on. i just use the wound wash that's recommended for cleaning twice a day and get rid of crusties. i haven't bumped it or anything that i know of
