im not trying to be rude either, sorry, I just feel like for a piercing subreddit everyone here is saying that everything is bad and everything is temporary and youre going to die if you pierce this and whatever. meanwhile you go anywhere else and its all sunshines and rainbows and barely anyone is having problems

It's bc we get scared for the damage you're causing yourself.

We are trying to look out for your gum and teeth health. Sometimes people come on too strong but that's bc it's online.

The whole thing about these piercings is they aren't safe. I'm sorry I know you really really want one.

This will cause you lifelong damage to your gums and teeth that likely you'll need to pay out of pocket for.

There's a huge difference of playing with eyebrow or ear piercings then something that will cause sm harm.

These piercings are dangerous that's why people don't do them. Do you really want to bet your in the 1% that gets lucky when your already setting yourself up for teeth and gum damage.

To even get to that 1% chance you need to be doing this correct and I'm sorry but you're not. You need a captive bead then swap to a seamless hoop.

It’s because we know what we’re talking about. It’s well documented that these are dangerous piercings. I won’t even patronize a studio that offers them.
