Just finished getting my last piercings on this ear and love it. My bottom tragus slightly migrated but is healed (2 yrs old - it’s red because the top one we added yesterday and I changed the jewelry). Should I take it out and repierce or just let it be? Would certain jewelry hide it better? Maybe a small hoop?
My 9 yo got her ears pierced a week ago today at a good quality tattoo/piercing shop. We’ve been using antibacterial soap and neilmed aftercare mist spray 2x per day.
After about 3 days, she developed tiny blistery rash spot on her cheek in front of her ear, but piercing looked ok. The next day on the other ear, it was a little red and then by the end of the day she had developed a blister on her cartilage just past the fleshy lobe. But again the piercing seems fine? Of course that ear is tender/red now.
She does tend to have sensitive skin in general so I was wondering if she’s reacting to the soap? Can’t be the saline spray, right? Last night I gave her Benadryl and put some hydrocortisone cream on the blister, and took these pics this morning. I told her let’s just use water for a few days and see if this clears. But any thoughts? Thx Reddit!
Soooooo I was sure I was done with my setup, but I just couldn't stop myself!
I can present you my new baby, a hidden rook done last month :')
I hope you like it, because I'm in love!
I got the daith & tragus pierced 11 days ago, my daith was completely fine up until this morning when it started itching but i’m aware that it’s part of the healing process so i cleaned it with saline as usual. After a while it was kind of pulsating so i started considering i might have irritated it in my sleep somehow as i usually flip around a bit. i went for a hot shower and blow dried my hair and suddenly my ear had become considerably swollen and red. it aches quite a bit and im not exactly sure what to do, it’s not unbearable but it’s definitely noticeable. i’ve had other cartilage piercings but they’re all on the outside of the ear so i feel like im doing something wrong. The bar is surgical steel and a horseshoe. any advice please?
thanks!
Just added a conch piercing to my set up 🤗
Do you think it’s starting to look a bit too busy/much? 😬
thinking of adding a rook or a high helix to my left ear. Any thoughts on what I can add to fill the space more?
also
I'm so happy with my piercings so far :') especially my eyebrows, as despite multiple hiccups (snagging, twice one fell out and I had to shove it back in, and I tried changing them too early once) I'm so happy that they've never gotten irritation bumps or swelling.
Do you guys have any ideas for future piercings? I wanted double nostrils, or to upgrade from snakebites to sharkbites...
Or maybe something around the ears? I've never gotten my cartilage pierced, but like the look of a triple helix. Any ideas? :>
Hey so I literally just got it done and it’s off center especially when I smile. There’s literally a line down the middle of my lip😭 but whatever not her fault I should tripled checked it. Can I take it out and redo it like right away or just take it out and wait a week to do get it redone?
Hey people!
I got this pierced like 2 weeks ago and i have lowkey been neglecting it (sorry) just thought I would show off this bruise! I genuinely can’t tell if it’s from the piercing or from when I hit my head on the microwave door.
When I do remember to care for it I simply spray it with Neilmed piercing spray and dry it with a handheld fan and it seems to be going really well! If anyone has any advice or opinions I would love to know. Also a few people told me the eyebrow was super painful, but I found it pretty easy. I would also love to hear anyone else’s experiences. :) very happy with my new piercing and thankful for a knowledgeable piercer
Absolutely obsessed with planning my ears, what do you guys think. Does it look balanced? The ear with 3 flats needs something more I think
Hello again. I took you lovely people's advice and removed the industrial from my left ear. It's healing nicely and it looks like you won't be able to notice it at all anymore soon enough.
In the meanwhile, I got a double helix on my right ear instead. I'm really happy with the starting jewellery I got. The upper piercing is quite high up, but the piercer and I thoight that this fits my ear the best, since the lower one would be partly hidden if we went lower: now I also have enough room for bigger jewellery in the future.
Thoughts? Anything I should keep an eye out for while they're still healing?
i got my surface tragus pierced 8 weeks ago exactly. it’s only been tender a little at the entry and exit points if i’ve slept on it by mistake. and some days it’s a little red just at the entry points but it goes away with aftercare piercing spray.
with that being said, do u think it’s rejecting at all? and i should remove it? maybe im being paranoid but hey better safe than sorry. am i safe to change the jewelry now? my piercer did say 8 weeks
My eyebrow piercing is rejecting and now I'm thinking about getting another facial piercing to compensate for it. I really love spider bites but I know that oral piercings cause teeth and gums damage over time.
I'm still debating if it's worth it (and probably will wait for it since I'm healing a double helix at the moment) but in case I do decide to get it, what are some recommendations to reduce teeth/gum damage?
Would studs be better? Maybe letting it nest would reduce the gums damage?
Or would having hoops be better? Maybe getting them at a more vertical angle, a little bit more outside on the lip would reduce the damage?
I would appreciate some advice, thx
TLDR HOW DO I GET RID OF THE BUMP please help
So I got this pierced on a whim for my bday about two months ago. I just walked into a random tattoo shop and got it done. Piercer put in this huge curved L bar initially and told me I could switch it with different jewelry after four weeks. That initial piece of jewelry was super uncomfortable and I could feel it in my nose 24/7 for those four weeks, and it kept moving around so much that it would constantly be flipped and sticking out of my nose. I know you aren't supposed to twist/mess with your new piercing but it was just driving me crazy and I constantly had to adjust it. Switched it for a hoop as soon as those four weeks were up and it felt instantly better, stopped having to adjust it at all. The piercing was pretty irritated at that point though, and it was starting to develop this bump so I went to a different piercer (who I actually did my research on) and she told me I shouldn't have switched it for a hoop so soon. I got it re-pierced with a high quality stud with a longer bar at that studio and she told me it would be okay, just keep cleaning it. However, the bump is just getting worse. How do I get rid of it?
I don’t know if I’m happy with the current placement I feel like they’re too close to the edge and know they’re uneven. Should I take them out and repierce where the black dots are or try a stacked look? They all were done within the last 6 months.
Hi! I have double lobes and a daith for my first cartilage piercing. My friends want to go get pierced in a couple weeks and I can’t decide what I want. I’m debating between rook, conch, helix or something else? What should I do?
Hii i got my surface tragus done yesterday and maybe she pierced it too shallow? One part of the surface bar is jutting out there is no pain, no tightness im not touching it and cleaning it 2x a day. I knew this piercing would reject eventually but i didnt think it would reject this fast im so bummed bcs i payed $100 for this piercing and rlly like it. Can i keep it in or should i just take it out. Also can yall tell me whether my conch has a keloid or irritation bump ive had it for two yrs thanks! Help pls 😛 or maybe im just paranoid and its still in its healing stage? Idk
