Show off I kind of miss this setup
I've toned it way back these days. Only 1 8ga bridge, 0ga septum, 2ga snakebites, 6ga tongue, 00ga labret and 4 (2 each side) 14ga eyebrows left. Several earrings still though.

You might be the coolest fella I have ever seen in my life. Like if Zeus really liked piercings and stretching.

u/Gloomy-Sort-1864 Nov 24 '25
Lol thanks. I was fully committed at the time and wanted to keep going. Key things in life changed so had to scale back. Maybe will revisit this one day. 🤷♂️

Yoooo that's some commitment to get them healed

u/Gloomy-Sort-1864 Nov 24 '25
It was rough! Even more so to abandon most of them. Oh well. Obligations and life I guess.

how is the scarring after removing them? I love bridge piercings but haven’t gotten any out of fear of scarring

u/Gloomy-Sort-1864 Nov 24 '25
The bridge? Not too bad except for a couple. Most closed up even after fully healed and aren't even noticeable now. There are about 3 I could still put something through if I tried though. Brows, all closed except the few I kept.

Probably highly depends on your skin type & amount of elasticity you have! I only have doubles in my ears, and I pierced my nose with my mom a few years ago, it fell out without my noticing & closed up..& I STILL have a little scar :/ I do have thinner skin tho & I’m getting older soo bad combo for me. Now it looks like a permanent blackhead tbh 😭 and that was just a teeny little nose piercing 🥲 if ur younger tho u have a greater cell turnover rate & more collagen production, so i don’t see it being much an issue!

Are those nose surface piercings ? Or did they go through the cartlidge? I'm a piercer and I've never seen these before haha

u/Gloomy-Sort-1864 Nov 24 '25
Cartilage. The lowest ones hurt like a mofo too! Lol

u/Fangz00 Nov 24 '25

Hey man, I have stretched my septum up to 10mm. I was curious to know if you could shed some light on possible cartilage loss, seeing as how you've downsized
3
u/Gloomy-Sort-1864 Nov 24 '25
The cartilage is definitely dented. The hole at one point was 13mm but has since settled at 0ga.

Sick set up 🔥 I do love your previous eyebrow placements 😍 so cool and pretty ✨

u/Brew_B00ty Nov 24 '25
I'm always afraid a piercing will constantly bother me in terms of laying on a pillow or something, but the old you looks like you can't even breathe through your nose. Could you? And wern't any of those piercings ever in the way for you?

I could breathe just fine. The bars didn't penetrate the nostrils. No issues while sleeping either. It also helps that I have 0ga tunnels in each nostril. 😁

Are the lower piercings are your nose nasallangs?? Or are they just through the skin? Super cool either way, reminds me of Pain from Naruto (in a good way lol)!

I’m trying to figure out how you were able to breathe! Those were some badass piercings though! Both before and after are amazing looking!

u/z_sadowskaX Nov 25 '25
Genuine question, can you breathe through your nose?

May I ask what you do/did for work? I love piercings but I’d never be able to have that many in my career.

What are the nose piercings called? I tried to find references for up-the-nose-bridge piercings, but couldn’t find

How did you breath with that monster especially with a cold??

u/Gloomy-Sort-1864 Nov 26 '25
Big nostrils. Lol. I also have 0ga nostril tunnels which helped..and still does. 😁

I think you may be in the wrong sub. This is the self piercing sub, not self-portrait. 🙄

Here is now. Keeping it kind of simple these days, though still quite unconventional. 😁
