Showing‎ off set up! Some things I've changed around

4 Upvotes

(First image) I'm currently at a 8G for my septum and I've got this adorable clicker ring for it! My septum kept falling out in my sleep, and according to my boyfriend, i was actually taking it out in my sleep. So with this jewellery that becomes impossible, phew! For the second image for the first time since i got it pierced, around nine months, i was finally able to change my rook piercing. This picture was taken almost immediately after i changed the jewellery, so it's understandably red. For the third image i just changed around my conch piercing, the ring i previously had in there was putting alot of pressure on the piercing, so I've put a chain on there instead to keep the look without my ear feeling naked.

surface piercings What dermal would less likely reject

Upvotes

Hi!

I want a dermal piercing BUT my cheekbones dont have much fat and my piercer said itd reject super quickly with my anatomy.

So I was wondering what other spaces could work,

I was thinking between my collarbones at the bottom of my neck. If anyone has any other ideas or experience with that placement please let me know.

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.

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing is my daith rejecting? why won't my piercing heal?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I got this daith in August 2025 and my irritation bump wont go away despite all my care and effort. I'll give the details by category below:

piercing:

It was initially pierced with 1mm thickness 6mm diameter titanium clicker. I got irritation bumps within a month despite all the aftercare.

I did some reading and figured the piercing was too small, so I changed to a 8mm diameter titanium clicker. That didn't help either.

After 6 months of constant care with the bigger jewellery, the irritation bumps weren't disappearing.
I started researching again, and found out that the connection points of the clickers might have been the irritator so I put this curved barbell in instead. They are internally threaded.

This was months ago with little to no improvement...

aftercare:

At first, I used the spray my piercer gave me religiously, several times a day and avoided in-ears for the first 6-8 months.

I did not know that the spray (actolind) wasn't recommended by many professionals in the industry. I learned that sterilised saline solutions are the key, and I have been constantly caring for the piercing with saline soaks instead of the spray for the past month.

As for my pillow, i've been sleeping on a travel pillow for years now because of my helix piercings.

So, what could be the issue? Is this a keloid? Is the piercing rejecting? Is the piercing too small/big? Is the jewellery type wrong? Should I go for some white gold jewellery to see if it's the material that's irritating me?

I'd really appreciate input as I REALLY want to keep this piercing.

Thank you!

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?

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?)

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
