r/SelfPiercing

Well, I went to get my second piercing on Thursday the 9th, and everything was fine. On Monday, I had already left the 3 pieces of jewelry I had at the studio to be cleaned (this one and the other two I used for my lobe and helix piercings are mine; they're hypoallergenic, and I've used them for several piercings to avoid spending so much money). When I went to get it done, I thought the guy was kind of unprofessional, even though he said he'd been doing piercings for 12 years. But I found it questionable from the moment he used a lot of force to put the jewelry in and pierce my ear; it seemed like he was in a hurry to finish quickly. I already felt insecure when I saw that the piercings were bleeding a lot, especially the one in the picture. Just now, I went to clean my ear, and when I turned around to clean it, I came across THIS! I'm desperate already, not knowing what to do, and I'm afraid my skin might have become necrotic. I'm not feeling any pain or anything, but it's still worrying. This has never happened to me before, and honestly, it's frustrating!

What is this and what do I do!?

where would be best to place the second Lobe. 1st or 2nd red dot?

Pierced my nostrils. my face is a little lopsided (didnt want to fully show my face for privacy), so id think the placement isnt too awful. But, i do notice that the asymmetry of my nose makes it look really bad.

So, im asking, at first glance, does this look bad? Should i repierce?

I pierced my vertical labret a few hours ago! (these pics are fresh)

Its perfectly centered and i pierced it exactly where I wanted it to be! Pretty proud of myself ngl.

I used a 10mm titanium bar, my lip was already swollen when i took the pictures

Used to have my bridge and sadly she rejected 💔also have my tongue and double naval. Septum is a 6g in these but i have a 4g that fits snug. my daily life isn’t affected by these and i have a good job lol.

pls tell me if I put it in a bad spot

Got it done about two weeks ago. Haven’t changed the size yet. I’m anxious but it doesn’t hurt or feel tender. I feel like the skin at the top may be a sign of rejection…? Might be overthinking it.

Septum was pierced 4 years ago, now stretched to 10g

Nostril was last year

Both have been my least problematic piercings

Currently at a 3mm

So I had my straight bar in for about 6 months and I went to my piercer to get it changed but we couldn’t find a good sized hoop so I waited about a month and a half and went back and now I’ve had my hoop in for about 3-4ish months and it’s been perfect until now and I don’t know why can anyone pls give me tips to make the swelling go down it’s super sore I haven’t snagged it on anything and I’ve never bit it before. Pls help 😭😭 ignore the dry skin I’ve been avoiding lip balm since it’s been like this

Second lobe peircing t's about three months old, been spraying it 2x daily with .9% NaCl. I dry it off with a mini fan a few minutes after I spray it, and also after I shower. I keep my hair away from it. Bump has been there for about a month, the other ear is fine. I sleep with a travel pillow. Any other suggestions? ​

I’ve had it for 3 months as of yesterday but it’s still getting crusties and idk if the bar is showing more.. I really don’t want it to reject and I was hoping I had the anatomy for it since my forehead and eyebrow area is protruding?

on the left i have helix (not downsized yet) and lobe, on the right just lobe. cant decide whether i want to get more on the left or even it out a bit and idk which piercing(s) to go for!! open to any ear piercings as long as it won’t get in the way of earbuds. my lobes are small so i’m not even sure if seconds are possible or not

only realistically interested in ear piercings right now but curious if i would suit anything else aswell

thanks!

I redid my naval using the scars as guidelines from my old one ab 2 days ago. does it look too shallow or will I just need to size down to be snug in a good few months once it's healed up? (it's not crooked. just the way my pose is.) but also there's stretch marks there so it may look a little funny but it's not irritated. this photo was like maybe an hr after I pierced it. currently it's not red or irritated or anything. just got the crusties like usually.

it's just a simple 14g stainless steel jewelry. just cleaning it once or twice a day with saline.

Marking this as NSFW just in case since I've never posted this much of my body before.

I do *not* plan to do this myself- but I wanna know if I have the option for a navel piercing in the future.
