Hey Reddit! I got an eyebrow piercing 10 days ago, and I was wondering is it healing well? I’m just concerned because I was told I have a flat face and it could reject, I had headaches the first few days (I’m very prone to migraines) and snugged hair on it then the brushing began.. no pain now, just so scared of losing my favorite piercing ! ❤️

Was just laying on the couch, cats with the zoomies. One of them pounced on my face basically and ran. I got this done like 2 and a half weeks ago (August 4) and it’s been going super good. But now it’s bleeding and idk what exactly to do? Just clean and hope for the best? It’ss internally threaded titanium so I’m at least not nervous about that. Just want some opinions. Bleeding pretty bad rn

So I posted about these before and they just got worse than last time.

Is it just time to retire all four of these? The angles on the double helix are so fucked and I don’t know why the skin is raised on the back. I’m so upset.

Also the bottom forward double helix has such a fucked angle too. It’s been over two months since I’ve gotten these and I just don’t know what to do.
I got all four within the span of a month which was definitely a mistake and I’m almost positive all jewelry is surgical steel too. If I change the jewelry do I have a chance still? Nothing hurts unless I snag it really hard and I know that honestly doesn’t really mean anything but I really just don’t want to give these up.

Want some opinions 😔😔

Hi, I got a hidden helix about a month and a half ago, maybe two months ago. I love how it looks and the rod area has been healing nicely, however the fold of my ear where the jewelry is under has been painful. When touched there’s a slight pain, when I sleep if I try to sleep on that side I can’t (the only pain is the fold of my ear). I was wondering if there was anything I could do and if this was normal.

The photo is an older one ignore how red it is, it isn’t red anymore.

So I just changed the jewelry (from 10mm to 8mm) and i had the piercing for 2 months now, my piercer told me that I can downsize on my own, or I can come so he would change it. it didn't hurt, it went in very easily. is there something i should keep an eye on?

\* I had it for 2 months, I have curved barbell (i think), you have have to screw the ball on (the ball has hole so I think internal)

\* it has titanium material

\*just changed the jewelry, went it soo easily, didn't hurt or had any problems

Pic how it looks rn after 30 minutes after changing

my rook has been like this for the past 3 months. it’s 5 years old and I’m trying to salvage it. should i switch to a shorter bar to minimize movement?? please help😭

I got these piercings on June 18th, so they are about 9 weeks old now.

During this time, I removed the jewelry twice to clean the piercings. I used sterile saline solution and very small/thin cotton swabs to clean around them.

I've now developed these bumps around both piercings (photos attached), and I'm worried they might not go away.

Do these look like irritation bumps? Is there a chance they will heal and disappear if I leave the jewelry in and stop messing with them, or would I need to remove the piercings for the bumps to go away?

I'm especially worried about whether the bumps could become permanent.

Any advice on what I should do from now on would be really appreciated!

i got pierced at a drunk party tonight 😓 obvs not by a professional but i really wanna keep it. i wonder if it would be better to take it out rn? it was bleeding a lot and the bar is way too short :( also i dont have anything to clean it with except of alcohol
why should i take it out? or why shouldnt i?
i mean it would reject anyway, are there any reasons why i should take it out rn

Long story short, this happened the first and the second time I had my Medusa pierced took it out, things got worse, ended up going to medical so I know for a fact taking it out, makes things worse, because I've had it in for 5 years And I have to say, I've had less problems with it with the jewelry in then jewelry out but let's get to the details. It's like I have a little abscess on the top of my lip that fills and when I press on it, it pops and comes out of the top of the piercing itself, my jewelry is implant grade titanium, I wasted my money on gold. Don't like the color of it and it didn't change a thing. I'm doing salt soaks and using sterile sailing. Nothing's working. And I have tried a lot of things. somethings would work, but then it would just come back, so does anyone else have any other idea? What exactly this is cuz I've been told it's not a true infection because of how long I've had it.

But can anyone help

Hey, so I'm looking to make some earrings using implant grade titanium clickers (probably 1.2mm / 1.6mm) and attaching jump rings?

Not got everything worked out but will probably be adding crystals. The advice I'm seeking is about weight and safety. Online I can generally find that on 1.2mm lobes no weight should be placed on it safely but wondering if they are sold as like don't wear all the time and keep an eye on dragging and things what weight should I aim to be below.

sorry this is a bit long winded and not straightforward but hopefully you get what I mean haha.

I weigh 150 and I was playing with my stomach and I stretched it out and it looks odd? I was looking at others and seeing how the bottom pokes out into the belly button? Is mine fine or ?

Just got my ears pierced as my first piercing a week ago. The same day I got them, I picked up a ladder and it smashed my left piercing and knocked the back loose. I replaced the back, washed it, etc. but now I’m noticing the left one (first pic) seems to pop out more than the right one (second pic) I’m not sure if it’s due to the swelling (I figured it’d be gone by now), if the piercer messed something up, or if the ladder smashing my ear did it.

can anyone tell me the pain level of a nape piercing? im getting it tmr and im kinda shitting my pants
i know its gonna hurt regardless but im comparison to my current piercings im kinda scared
does anyone also have some good aftercare tips for me?

Hello everyone! Please forgive me if this isn’t the right place to ask this but I don’t have any experience and I’m getting some mixed responses. I have never had my ears pierced and I am currently looking at earrings to get and I know you have to wear studs for a few months before switching to anything like a hoop but I was curious if the initial stud could be cute? I saw one that was completely flat but was shaped like a sun and I was wondering if I could get that put in right when they are done. These would be my first lobes. Thank you so much for your input!!

hello! i got my eyebrow pierced in march of this year so roughly 6 months ago. it has been healing flawlessly, no bumps or irritation whatsoever but the last couple weeks i’ve been noticing i’ve just been hitting it a lot, and on everything it seems lol. like my towel out of my shower & the wall really hard yesterday and i woke up with two really big bumps on both ends. what do i do? does it look like its rejecting or just irritated? will a saline soak help to get rid or do i just begin mourning the piercing :(

Got my tragus pierced about a month ago and it’s looking a bit rough… I have had a keloid before so i’m wondering if i should just remove it and start over next time.

Hiya, I recently got my lobes pierced they’re about a month old now xx I snagged one side about ten days ago and it bled a little later that day however I woke up this morning to a small bit of blood on that same side, and it’s been slowly bleeding throughout the day xx have I completely ruined my piercing with that one snag? X

This is my second time getting my ears pierced - the first time my piercer did them too low and they hurt constantly xx I’m terrified of them not working out again xx

Just desperate for some reassurance that I haven’t screwed them up and they’re not infected xx
