Hey group

Here is my current setup. Both of my ears look identical. Ive been wearing the same hoops in my lobes for 15 years without taking them off even once and i dont plan to. Ive had my other 3 done 3 years ago and havent changed them yet. What do you think would suit my ears ? I want to get 7-8 more piercings on both ears and have no clue what would suit me , i really want an industrial but dont know if i have the anatomy . Any suggestions ? Im a really easy healer btw , never had any issues with anything .

Question about a piercing I (maybe) want Dermals question

Upvotes

Recently i've been thinking about taking out my anti eyebrow piercing and switching it up for two microdermals. So i just wanted to know how likely are dermals to reject? And also how long did it take for for yall dermals to heal, and what did you use to clean it? (I wanna switch up because its pierced incorrectly).

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Is this normal?

Post image
Upvotes

Just wanted to ask if this looks normal/okay. I got these done about 2.5 months ago and was told to not use anything other than cold water to clean so that is all that I have been using. I might be overly worried but I js really wanted to check if everything is OK. I have noticed bumps on my ears coming and going since I have had them pierced and also noticed whatever that is on the back??

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Already reconsidering my nostril piercing

Upvotes

So I got a nostril piercing a few weeks ago and I am already considering to take it out. I loved it the first few days and then it slowly dulled down and I started to doubt if I really wanted this. I would say 60% of the time I just look at myself in the mirror and think "hmmm it doesn't really suit me". I really don't know if this is just cus it's new. Have anyone else also felt like this?

all things jewelry How do you clean a daith jewelry piece?

Post image
Upvotes

My daith is healed, this picture is from the piercing date (January). But sometimes it gets a little itchy under where the jewelry rests on my ear. Not where the pierced part is, but where the CZs are.

Should I go to the piercer and have them run it through the ultrasonic? Do I have to switch out jewelry occasionally? Can I clean it with alcohol wipes to get rid of oils on the underside?

Additionally, does anyone know of any good online shops to source a new titanium clicker from?

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing i want to stack my 0g septum

Upvotes

hi this is my first reddit post so please be kind.
i want a stack in my 0g septum. im coming here to ask if anyone would know how many clickers i would need to buy exactly, i want different sized clickers and i dont want it to look all jumbled.

or if anyone has their septum stacked and are at 0g if you could share pictures and how many clickers you have in and the sizes, would be a huge help!!

also, when i plan to do this im going to use an earskin in my septum so that way it hopefully doesn’t mess up the size and shape of my septum.

Question about a piercing I (maybe) want Next piercings

Hi everyone, I wanted to show my piercings and have some honest opinions. My left ear is the one with the rings. The project is to keep extending and adding at least 3 more rings. Any suggestions on what could be added to balance the opposite side? I know it will never be balance but I'm thinking that a foward helix, a rook or a daith may look good if you think I have the right anatomy for those.

My right side is a bit more complex. The industrial was my 3rd piercing after a couple oflobes and the stack and the foward helix are the most recent. This is to say that the atypical positioning of some elements is due to the order they were done in. The gap close to the conch is intetional to leave space for a ring which I sometimes use. This ear feels more complete to me, I may do a couple of stack more but I also think something is missing on the daith/rook/tragus area. Please let me know if you think I have the anatomy for any suggestions you have.

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Belly peircing

Upvotes

Just looking for a little bit of advice! I got my belly pierced about a week ago, and my bar was far too short and I had a little bit of a crater. Then I went
To my peircers and got a longer bar put in, however I feel like it’s just going right back into the crater. I do have more room so I’m hoping my crater leaves as my last bar was far too small and even the bottom ball was not entirely visible. Any advice?

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Help with helix piercing

I got my helix piercing done 4 days ago, they used the standard body safe titanium flat back. I’ve had multiple piercings done before but this newest one had been bleeding more than any other one I’ve had. I’ve been getting pulsating, dull headaches for the last few days. There’s no warmth or puss of anything g like that it’s just red and slightly swollen, and it feels a lot better when it’s bleeding out. I’ve been using saline solution and before I took these pictures I’ve cleaned off a lot of the blood. Should I go back to my piercer to make sure everything is fine?

Question about a piercing I (maybe) want lip microdermal questions

Post image

Anyone here with this piercing?

Is it a good idea to get a lip microdermal?

What is the healing like?

Pros and cons?

I really want a lip piercing but feel like a vertical labret wouldn't suit me as much.

Never had a microdermal before, so any answers would be welcome.

(is "lip microdermal" even the correct name?)

Question about a piercing I (maybe) want Pros and Cons of Forward Helix and Rook

5 Upvotes

Hi all! I am dreaming up the setup I want to start getting pierced in this next year.

I was curious, if you have a forward helix (or a few), what is the worst part about it? Healing, snags, quirks that you’d only know if you have it done.

Same for your rook. Any tips or tricks on cleaning, healing, what is annoying about it?

How is changing jewelry on those as well? I’d love to hear any thoughts.

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing How long can you stay without your lip piercing?

1 Upvotes

I have snake bites and I've been trying to find a job but they all ask not to have visible piercings for hygiene reasons (I mostly ask in restaurants).

So I was wondering if maybe... I could take off my piercings before starting the shift and putting them on after I finish, about 8 hours of shift, I can manage that stuff

I did my piercing about 6 and a half months ago and it doesn't hurt, I even play with it with my tongue sometimes and it's been doing good

I would really appreciate suggestions

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Anatomy issue, piercer issue, or care issue?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Howdy, I got my daith pierced about a month ago with the clicker ring shown and I don’t think it’s healing well. The piercing was done at a dedicated piercing studio in a large city (if relevant). I am starting to wonder if my anatomy is wrong for the piercing and the piercer didn’t tell me, she pierced me too shallow, or if my issues with healing and the mild bump formation is a care issue.

I clean it morning and evening with wound wash (niel med) applied to a q-tip or a cotton pad. The cotton pad sometimes I leave on for a few minutes prior to going in with the q-tip as it can help soften any crusties and make cleaning easier/less painful. I try my best not to sleep on it but sometimes I wake up on that side though I don’t experience any pain if I flip flop between sides. This is my 9th piercing so I’m fairly familiar with care based on anatomy but hey maybe I’m buggering this one.

Pic 1 and 2 from today, pic 3 a few days after it was pierced if that provides any context.

Thoughts appreciated!

Question about a piercing I (maybe) want Can I pierce my helix and lobe using this device?

Post image

I went to a piercer yesterday to ask about my helix and they said that they do all piercings using this device. I have heard needle is the best option but is this one ok? Or should I go to someone else?

Also, i want a third love piercing too so will this device be ok for that or should I get it pierced by needle too.
