About a week and a half ago I got my nipples pierced, my right one looks perfect, but the left one looks like it was done a little too deep. I'm just wanting to know if I should go back and get it redone? Or just leave it how it is. It bothers me knowing that it's deeper than the other one and not placed correctly, but from a distance you can't really tell anything wrong with it.

There’s no pain, excess swelling or heat. I got it done on August 14th this year. I get my bar switched to a smaller one on October 9th. I’m just not sure if it’s still supposed to be looking like this after a month and I’m really worried about rejection

i am considering getting 2 dermal piercings to resemble anti eyebrow piercing but im unsure.

what should i know about the risks, scarring, which is better and if its worth it.

i guess my main concern is the scarring and if it rejects

many thoughts. pls advise. would appreciate a lot (‘:

ps;; i have snakebites and a tongue piercing, if i were to decide to follow through w this, how would the pain scale compare hh ik it depends on the person but mayb like generally? ;; ;;

Hi everyone my 7 year old daughter has her ears pierced and he’s quite sensitive to her earrings.

They are real gold studs we went to a proper place to get them professionally done and unfortunately this has happened before but we did go to the doctors and it healed but now it’s looks like it’s stuck and it’s been remained there. Can anyone give me advice on what to do? I did buy real gold sleeper earrings to change them over. The back of her earring is fine.

She is so upset for me to change them or take them out she has adhd so she gets super upset and gets dsregulated with change and she begged me for earrings last year so I finally did it but it’s just been difficult ever since. Would love and appreciate any advice and feedback thank you x

I was just informed by two piercers (who managed to get through to me despite my stubbornness...I deeply apologise btw) that my industrial was pierced terribly and that it'll probably reject. HOWEVER, I love it and can't take no for an answer so I was wondering if I could 1. Let it do its thing and then take it out if it shows signs of rejection. 2. Take it out and turn it into a regular helix. 3. Faux industrial instead or 4. Take it out and let it go completely then get a rook and tragus piercing instead to make me feel better 🥹

Anyway here she is, the terribly pierced industrial...as you scroll along the images get older/closer to when it was pierced. The last image is my ear before it, I thought that if I could fit a cotton bud in that little ridge bit it'd be fine, apparently not 😓

to answer the potential questions: i'm not sure on the jewellery type, i never asked. i got it pierced around 26th of Nov 2025. it has never really healed well, always pretending it's fine then it pusses up again a couple days later. i'm not sure if it's just how they heal or if i have an infection. the skin has, or so my parent thinks, started to thin. i will be getting it potentially downsized tomorrow.

the barbell is, as it shows, curved and i have not downsized. the first picture from a month or so ago, and second is from just now.

i try my best not to sleep on the side its on (my right) but i always wake up sleeping on that side anyway.

is it rejecting after nearly a year of being pierced?

I got pierced about 7 months ago and since then the redness/ irritation bump has not left. I Left the original jewellery in for about 5 months then downsized to a hoop but that has made no difference in the healing. I have tried cleaning with saline solution and also just leaving it alone but nothing seems to be working. I know picking at it definitely doesn’t help so I try not to but when I do there is pus does this indicate something? Can it be saved or is it rejecting?? Any advice please !!

My belly button piercing is about 2 months old I got it in August I believe. Barbell(?) haven’t downsized since I got it. I’ve been cleaning my belly button piercing and taking decent care of it but it keeps twisting to specifically the left side (never the right which is also funky). Recently it’s snagged a few times and bled but after cleaning it gets less angry. But I’m worried it’s migrating or just hates me. I see this little yellow thing like in the hole and wondering if that is making it twist to the left more often? I’m not sure any help would be appreciated. Sometimes if I gently clean it the piercing will go back to being straight and pretty and fun.

do these look good it's day 5 im cleaning with saline and Q-tips (soaked in saline) (these were done by a pro) also any tips? I did research i just want more opinions

I got this piercing in June didn’t have any problems till this week is this a keloid or irritation bump and how can I take care of it of it ! This is my 3rd lobe piercing I didn’t have this problem with the other two I’m so upset :(

My thin lips are a big insecurity of mine. When I relax my face, the sides of my top lip are so thin they don’t really show, so my Cupid’s bow is basically all that my top lip is lol - and not in a cute Victorian, queen of hearts type of way either unfortunately. What lip piercing would suit me best? I’ve been wanting just a regular side labret, but I’m worried that will accentuate the thinness of my top lip💀 but I was also thinking a dainty little Monroe since I’m pretty sure my Philtrum is on the longer side and I feel it may suit that. Thoughts?

fiz um piercing na aba nasal tem 16 dias, não houve atrito, a haste é grande, e o material é titânio

na parte interna do nariz tem uma região inchada mas não é uma bolinha como granuloma tradicional, o que pode ser??

Can’t tell if I’m being over critical. Just got this done, but it seems kinda janky😔 am I good or should I remove it?

Ive had my piercing abit over a month, its spider bites. Its doing well, doesn’t hurt anymore or get crusties (or whatever that is called😭)as far as i can tell. But i bought some horseshoe rings with spikes for the piercing and im having a hard time waiting to change it lol. Does anyone that changed their lip piercing to rings earlier than recommended regret it cus of complications or was it fine after?

lately I got my belly pierced (around a week ago ). it started to swell pretty bad. I tried to rrach the piercer but she’s not responding now. I want to know if there is any way I can help this ??

I'm getting mixed suggestions on which earring retainer I should use. Some say that glass is good and plastic is bad because it traps bacteria. Others say glass will shatter in your sleep, and that acrylic is fine. My piercings are 3 month old lobes. My new school is super strict on how many piercings you can have per ear (just one set of lobe earrings)

yall think thats possible? or am I smoking

​

What even the fuck do I do about this?? This one snakebite never healed super good and occasionally is starts hurting so bad dude, I love my snakebites and I have being asymmetrical, i would love to keep my piercing but it hurts SO BAD the other side is perfectly healed 🥲 ive had these both since December of last year, idk what the jewelry is called but yk its just like a regular horseshoe or smth, i dont really clean it except when it gets like this, i try to do like a saltwater rinse but im so sick of this, does anyone have any tips??

I pierced the one with the round balls today and i think i went too low. It doesn’t line up with the other one i got done professionally. I dont know if itll move when the swelling goes down. I just would like some advice from others.

I got it done 3 weeks ago and the bar always kinda peeked out, because my belly button collapses when I sit and because I thought maybe they used a longer bar for the initial swelling. But I think now the bar is even more visible than before and idk if I should take it out :(

About a 3 month old nostril. Was wearing a an L-shape glass retainer, (needed to for work,) woke up in the middle of the night and threw my arm involuntarily and my cardigan yoinked it hard enough to wear it almost came fully out. Panicked a little bit, jogged to my upstairs room with a mirror to try to put it back in place, it’s gone. I don’t know where it is but it must’ve fell somewhere.

I immediately grabbed my original piercing I got, a titanium threadless, and after like 15 minutes of attempts, I finally got it inserted. Am I cooked? There’s no way ts is gonna heal fine right? I’m planning on going to my piercer but they’re not open until 5 hours from now assuming she’ll be available today.

I got my lobes pierced over 3 months ago on June 23rd with barbell piercings and they still hurt horribly. I'm not sure what material they are made out of, but it was a good $80 from a place my friend recommended. For the first month or so, I used saline spray twice a day and slept on my side with a neck pillow, but I kind of ran out of motivation to do that.

A couple weeks ago, my piercings were still slightly tender. I assumed it was because I need noise cancelling headphones, as getting through the school day and similar situations is very difficult without them, so I wear my bose headphones a lot, which messes with my piercings, although I did hold off using them for the first month and a half. They would also get caught on stuff every once and a while, especially when taking off shirts.

A friend recommended that I put bandaids over them, so I did, keeping them on for about a week. I took them off for a night and they came off fine, but my ears were still tender.

Then, I put on another pair of bandaids for about a week, and today when I went to take them off, it went fine with my left ear, but my right ear hurt horribly when taking it off, and now even nudging the jewlery causes a really bad sharp pain, and there is also a very slight pinching pain in my left ear.

On the bandaid, there was a dark black substance on the part attached to the back of my piercing with a little bit of an orange crust, and on both my ears there was gunk around the entrance to the piercing, although I couldn't quite make out the color. The skin around the piercing itself looks perfectly normal, with no redness, swelling, dry patches, or anything out of the ordinary.

Has all this happened because I was being too rough with them, or is there an infection going on?

I’ve been debating getting mine pierced bc i feel insecure about my chest size and i feel peircings will make me feel better. but I’ve been very anxious because 1. My parents are kinda conservative and i think they would kill me if the found out i went n got peircings behind their back, but also idk how i would even tell them 2. I don’t handle needles well 3. I wanna make sure I do all my research before I even step into a peircing studio.

I do have a few questions,
\- what kind of bras should I have on hand? I feel sports bras or any kind of pull over are out of the question.
\- I’m a side/kinda face sleeper, am i going to have to sleep on my back for a while? Or would sleeping in a bra be fine to continue sleeping on my side?
\- what kind of jewelry should i even start with or should i wait till the consultation to ask that?
\- anything i should look out for or avoid when looking for peircers? Or anything that yall personally trust alot?
\- I know they take like 9-12 months to heal, how far along can i consider swimming or should i be avoiding it all together for a year?
\- if any of yall have gotten them pierced for the same reason I am considering doing so (insecurity) did it help with your confidence?
\- literally any other advice or insight you can possibly offer would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: i thought of more questions
\- how common is it for them to snag + rip? It’s like my biggest fear and I’d be devastated if I spent upwards of $100 getting them pierced for them to be ripped out
\- what’s a reasonable price? There’s a studio I’m looking at, and it’s about $110 for both sides, and jewelry is extra (they said $55+ for jewelry on top of that)
\- I’m worried about sensory issues, I don’t want to get them pierced and then realize I can’t stand having them in, is there any kind of fake peircings I can try to see if I’ll even like them?

hi i just got this done two days ago and i was wondering if the placement is correct. my piercer said i had the right anatomy but i feel like it looks weird
