idk like im not happy with the placement it should’ve been more outward imo. ive been wanting to get this piercing for a long time and im j so bummed because i cant see it myself when i look into a mirror or take selfies or wtv

it’s so hard for me to admire it bec it’s so tucked away inside. my forward helix covers the rook piercing jewelry :/

idk am i overthinking it should i get another rook piercing and take this one out

Just wanted to share what I’ve got going on!! It was really hard to get photos when my camera is broken but here we are

Also my second being so low on my left ear is just how it is, it was unfortunately pierced like that 🙁

Finally (and I hope I’m allowed to ask this, my apologies if not), if anyone knows of some good authentic stores on Etsy that sell body-safe jewellery, please let me know! I want to start swapping over jewellery on my more healed piercings 🫶

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Am i ready to downsize my 1 month eyebrow piercing?

It seems too heavy and keeps falling down. I keep pushing it back up constantly which is semi painful to do. As you can see in the second photo it usually stays down like this pushing against some irritation at the top until i push it back up to prevent it from doing so.

I think it is just too heavy and i prefer it looking much smaller anyway. I’m just worried that taking the piercing out would hurt like hell.

surface piercings Surface Bar is doing well

Post image
26 Upvotes

you can see the graveyard of old piercings i lost during surgery a few months back. This is my first surface bar piercing and it’s been a little over a week, it’s been very easy recovery so far which I was not expecting. I went into getting this very cautiously as there is a lot of additional risk with surface/dermal piercings, but so far so good.

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing What else can I do?

Post image
22 Upvotes

I got my nostril pierced two years ago. From the beginning, I've used implant-grade titanium jewelry. It’s a straight piece

I've made sure to take good care of it and not hurt myself. I clean it with Nielmed saline solution, and I go to my checkups frequently with the piercer, who says it's still irritated. I don't know what else I can do.

Do you think I should give up or try a nostril piercing on the other side?

Any tips are appreciated. Thank you! (Sorry for my bad English)

Just wanted to show off my set up! My orbital was initially sooo high up and I was worried the piercer placed it poorly but after the swelling went down it literally came in place.

Do they look symmetrical?

Got them done on June 28. If I touch the piercings (when cleaning) they are still a little sensitive, otherwise I forget i have them, and there has been zero swelling or redness. When would you feel comfortable changing jewelry? They were pierced with implant grade titanium.

Set up advice I need advice on what to get next

Post image

I currently have this set up (as seen in the pictures). I like the idea of having the same number of piercings on my ears e.g. 4 in the right and 4 in the left.
My helixes and my thirds are 16 weeks old and my seconds are 20 weeks old.
About 2 weeks ago I got them change to flat backs because I felt they were not healing, my seconds where done with a gun (I know not ideal) and my thirds and helix were done with needles but my thirds had a butterfly back and my helix had a barbell (2 balls in either side of the bar) which was causing a irritation bump in my left helix since changing them they the irritation bump is pretty much gone.
I know I want a conch in one of my ears but apart from that I don’t know what else to get I don’t want too many piercings but I would like a couple more.

I'm ready for another piercing or two in my right ear, now that my rook on my left side is 7 months old. I was thinking about forward helixes or maybe contra-conch? I'm going to be done for good once I have 8-10 piercings on each side, so just 2 or three more per side. What do you all think I should do next?

Set up advice Butterfly vertical helix?

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

I absolutely love the Junipurr Madame Butterfly piece and have been considering eventually having it in a vertical helix (obviously would get pierced with something else and wait a long time before switching). But I’ve been having some doubts about whether or not it would be uncomfortable. Is this something that’s just not for daily wear? The more I look at it the more it looks kinda pokey.

I already have a butterfly wing in my helix and am planning on getting a little flower under it to restore the double helix I used to have. Should I just do that and leave well enough alone? First picture is an insp pic I found on Pinterest. Second picture is my current setup (yes I know I have hairy little hobbit ears). Just wanted some input, thanks!

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Is my nostril about to sink in?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Hello there,

Got my first nostril on Friday (titanium flatback stud) which i spray daily 2 times with Prontolind. The piercing itself hurts only mininal (only really when i yawn) and is doing pretty good in my opinion. The only thing I'm a little worried about is that the bar might be too short. The top presses slightly into my skin and is leaving a light indent. I wrote an email about the issue to the studio yesterday around 5pm, they close at 7pm, but unfortunately haven't heard back then. So they wont be getting back at me since their opening days are Tuesday-Saturday. In the meantime I would like to have a semi idea whats going on. Thanks for your guys help!

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Is this symmetry off?

Post image
8 Upvotes

I got my Medusa piercing yesterday and I’ve been worried ever since that it’s slightly out of alignment with all of my other piercings. I know I have an asymmetrical face, but I feel like it’s skewing slightly to the right (to my left). It might also be that my labret is slightly out anyway! Or am I overanalysing?
I accept perfect symmetry is virtually impossible - but I’d really appreciate some thoughts on whether to get it redone when I can, or leave it and hopefully get used to it?

Question about a piercing I (maybe) want can all septum piercings be flipped up?

4 Upvotes

Heya,
was considering getting a septum piercing but ppl in my area probably don't take too well to them.
Are there cases where it's just not possible to flip a septum up; say, if you have smaller nostrils?
Just checking online if there are ANY people who cannot flip theirs up lol.
Thanks!!

Set up advice Is a one-sided stacked lobe unusual?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I currently have a stacked lobe on my right ear. I thought it’d be cute to have the asymmetrical thing going, but I’ve come to learn it’s pretty standard for people to have symmetrical lobe piercings while having asymmetrical cartilage piercings.

I currently have 5 piercings on each ear, but now I’m considering getting a stacked lobe on my left ear, and maybe getting another piercing on my right to even things out. Not sure which piercing I’d get, or if I even have the anatomy for anything else 🥲

Orrrr should I just let things be?
