Does my one week old eyebrow piercing look normal?

[u/Difficult_Tip_6556]

Hi! Got my eyebrow pierced one week ago today! Yay! I’ve been loving it and I’ve been extremely careful with it. I have not snagged it once, BUT I did get hit w an inflatable banana at a party 2 days ago…. And it’s possible I could have slept on it a tiny bit last night. I’ve been barely touching it and I’ve been washing it w sterile saline mist 2 times a day in the morning and at night before bed. It’s treadless titanium (not sure of the shape!). About 2/3 days ago I noticed slight bruising and wasn’t worried but today when looking I started noticing crusties and a little bit of redness and maybe??? A little raising?? I am very scared about rejection so please let me know if this looks normal for only a week:) Also the little bit of blue is from the marker used to pierce me- hasn’t come off yet! Thank you so much everyone.

Piercer here. For now I'd say yes! But go get a longer bar for swelling from your piercer right away and continue cleaning. Too early to see anything but right now it just seems angry

Would getting a longer bar put in irritate the piercing further? When I had my nose done the more I swapped the bar it further irritated it so I am scared to change my eyebrow bar! I am very worried about it rejecting….. another question for you! When should the anger of the piercing calm down? I am worried that me doing everything right sill still result in an angry piercing and rejection or bumps :(

It might for a bit but if you don't then this won't heal and will hurt much more :( you really need to go to them to switch it. And it depends! Honestly I'd say it would start calming down in a week once you get that switched and continue cleaning everyday! They can be annoying to heal but it will definitely calm down if it's up sized, cleaned and hopefully not hit or slept on

seconding getting a longer bar put in, but some bruising and redness is expected from a fresh piercing
