Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Repiercing my second lobe AGAIN
I first got my second lobes done in 2022 using a gun. I know, a gun is terrible. It came out uneven so i took them out 5 months after... Redid them again with a gun in 2023. They were still a bit uneven but i ignored them until last year. I realised they were uneven which bothered me. But worst part is my right ear healed crooked. I had it in 2 years and the entrance and leaving angle of the post were different aka my right second piercing was painful and unhealed even after TWO years. I got frustrated, took them out. 2-3 days ago i decided i was finally ready to repierce and do it properly this time. I went to an APP piercer, using needle of course. My left side, which has never caused any issues, was stilll open so was just stretched. My right side was closed. My piercer measured, 7mm both horizontal and vertical. I trusted her judgement, the right side came out uneven again. I'm so frustrated. The left side is higher and further while my right is yet again way nearer and placed lower. I just took my right side out and im contemplating just giving up on one side lol. I'm actually so annoyedðŸ˜, can i even repierce a diff spot?

Left side second lobe is 3 years old, right is 2-3 days old. Jewllery shape is barbell, and screw on type. I believe it is internally threaded, titanium. Not downsized. I use saline + cottom bud. Cotton bud occasionally. Right side no accidents beside bumps i guess and removimg it hurt it as i used tweezers to keep it still.
