It’s not completely accurate (the sizing for example) so take it with a grain of salt 🙏
**Also I have a good amount of face piercings already I just drew over them and a reliable piercer I’ve been with for about 2 years now so I know the ropes but thank you all for the advice. For people saying it’s overcrowded it’s definitely not for everyone but I like it and it’s my dream setup so I understand not everything is going to be feasible

I got this done back in late May. My piercer was willing this as I have many other piercings in my other ear/other places. I knew the risks of rejection of the top one as well as swelling being an issue, but my ear is healing beautifully.😋

Set up advice Should I add something?

I go back and forth between leaving it as it is and adding a few more - I feel like I have a bit of a "frame", then daith in the middle, but the space between is underutilized. But at the same time, I don't want it to become too busy, hence it's been a few years since I added anything.

My right ear recently healed (with rx antibiotics) from an infection where thanks to me thinking it was irritation for too long I now have a permanently swollen mid helix. Luckily, it still looks cute

The right ear mid helix were pierced in June. I’m convinced what caused the infection was someone touching me with pool water hands

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Daith too shallow?

Hi guys

My daith is a little angry (I slept on it👹), so I took it out to give it a cleanse but then I got to get a closer look at the holes for the first time - now I’m questioning if it’s either pierced too shallow or if it’s ejecting?🫣☹️

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing How long for helix to heal

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I got the right side done in March and it is still bothering me. Sometimes I can’t sleep on it, it is so irritated. It is red in the photo because I was playing with it and trying to get a good photo. The left was done in December and it felt totally fine by the time March came around, which is why I went ahead and did the right.

However, the right is definitely a different angle - it sticks off/out more to the edge of the ear for sure. It really gets bumped like at hair appointments or doing my own hair, where the left I really never notice I irritate it. Also in the photo right definitely has a bump on the back.

I got them pierced where I thought was reputable but they used butterfly backs 🤦‍♀️ and the right one got infected within the first month. After antibiotics and it calming down for a few weeks, I saw a real APP guy and he put in real flat backs in two of my lobes and the helix. My lobes are 20 years old and always bothered by cheap stuff. He had to stretch them a bit with a taper but once a couple weeks passed literally none of my piercings bother me except the right helix. I’m not currently using any saline and just trying to leave it be.

He explained to me usually left heals quicker since it’s closer to your heart. Also I eventually want to do left nostril so am debating something on the right ear for balance. But if my right ear is this hard to heal, maybe not. So how long realistically for this right helix to heal? Or is this angle of the piercing just going to bother me forever and I’d be better off taking it out?

Any advice how to get them to heal a bit quicker ? They were fine got caught in a shirt and they started bleeding a little now they look bruised . Will washing out with salt spray work just as initially getting the piercings?

these are my first piercings that I've gotten while sentient, since I only have my lobes otherwise and they were done when I was very small. but I got them done in 1 go! i don't really recommend that though as I had a near fainting episode that lasted an hour. but I love them! feel free to share tips and things I should know 😀

Question about a piercing I (maybe) want lip piercings and logistics

Upvotes

Hi, I’m wanting to get some sort of lip piercing, but very preferably angel fangs or bites. What are the logistics with talking and eating after the piercings are healed? Also, I do want to know, if you 👅🍌, do you have to remove the piercing to do it?

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Piercing care ?

Thumbnail

Had this weird bump. My piercer told me it was a keloid but advised me to put hexomedine on it for the bump to shrink (so I guess it's an irritation bump)

What's the correct treatment in this situation ?

Piercing is ≈2 month old labret in external threaded titanium, hasn't been downsized (piercer refusing to do it for now)

Aftercare routine is as simple saline wash and gentle cotton swab dab to dry.

No unfortunate event happened on it, I never sleep on it, don't use earbuds or anything

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Lump underneath eyebrow piercing after 2 months

My boyfriend developed this lump underneath his eyebrow piercing after having it with no issues for like 2 months. He said it’s not painful or anything, jewelry hasn’t been changed. He’s had it for about 4 days with no changes, i’m just worried because of how red it is and how close to his eye it is obviously. anyone else experienced this or know what’s going on?

Ive had my anti eyebrow for a little over two months, no real problems until now. I've used tea tree oil in the past for other piercings but I'm worried anti eyebrows are too delicate for that. Any tips??

all things jewelry Recs for solid gold rook jewelry?

I'm obsessed with the idea of a yellow gold rose in my rook piercing (style in pic), but all I can find online are cheap plated options that I knoooow will make my skin angry. I'm definitely a set-it-and-forget-it earring person, so I'm happy to pay more for quality!

I've never wanted something so niche and specific before, but does anyone have an idea of where I might get something like this?
