2nd and 3rd Lobe sizes?

I’ve ordered the needles and stuff to pierce my 2nd and 3rd lobes (well I had my 2nd lobes pierced years ago so I guess, I’ll just be re-piercing those as I can’t get an earring all the way through anymore.) The only thing I’m not sure about is what size of flat back to order as far as the length. I was thinking for the little studs I would do 3mm and 4mm, but as far as length I’m stuck as I don’t want to order the too short, but I also don’t want them too long. Thoughts?

Thoughts? Embedding or just nesting?

Got my nostril pierced on March 21st. Piercer used a corkscrew that kept moving around. My daughter snagged it twice and I got an irritation bump so I decided to switch to a flat back. When I did the irritation bump kind of popped, but now I have almost a hole surrounding the stud on top. It doesn’t seem like the bar is too short, because I have room to push the stud up if that makes sense. Should I try to switch the little diamond on top to a larger size so it’s not sitting in the hole or leave it alone?

I’m cleaning it twice a day with saline wound wash and other than that just leaving it alone now that it’s not constantly spinning around. Currently the stud in there is implant grade titanium, not sure what the initial corkscrew material was.
