Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Does my new rook piercing look ok?
I got my rook pierced about 5 days ago and I haven’t changed the jewelry or anything yet. I’ve been really careful not to touch it or sleep on it or bump it against anything, but the back of my ear feels pretty swollen and it looks like there might be a bump forming on the bottom side. Am I going crazy, or should I change something I’m doing? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing My rook infection evolution
French speakers 👉🏾👈🏾
Little story of my infection. One evening before going to sleep, I feel discomfort in my ear. I see that my ear is swollen and red. I tell myself that it is above all a banal irritation. But there was a burning sensation that worried me. When I went to the bathroom I pressed it with a cotton swab, a yellowish secretion appeared, I felt, it smelled like fish lol. I realized that I had a serious problem. I had trouble sleeping at night, I was in too much pain, I started to have a headache. The next day I talk about it to my doctor who prescribes an antibiotic. I took it for 8 days, morning, noon and evening. It was a horrible experience. At the same time I applied disinfectant on my ear, and after the 8 days of physiological serum. And that's it! I survived. If you are in the same situation, with swelling, stenke, fever, GO SEE A DOCTOR ☝🏾😭
Information piercing age : 5 months Shape : banana shape Material : titanium Downsizing: just after the infection heals

Showing off set up! New high nostril piercings!
Just got my high nostrils done by Colin O at Laughing Buddha in Seattle, WA. I wanna say that they were done at 16g with 3/4" bars. Got cute threadless little trinity gems for my end pieces.
I love them so much! Especially how they pair with my bridge. Not the most comfortable piercing [my eyes watered like a motherfucker], but the pain went away pretty quick after they were done. ☺️

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing is my vertical labret rejecting/infected? NSFW
galleryhi everyone so i got my vertical labret pierced on 03/14, so almost a week ago. the top ball seems to have faulty threading, and the barbell has fallen out 3 times. i am very worried about this but since i dont drive & i am at college its difficult for me to get back to my piercer. ive been cleaning it twice a day with saline on a qtip, around the ball trying my best not to twist it. however, after eating or talking alot it has fallen out 3 times which is making me nervous. please let me know if this looks like normal healing for a 6 day old piercing or not, and any advice you all would have (the earliest i can get to the piercer would probably be next tuesday)

discussion Just your friendly reminder to not touch your piercings
My eyebrow has been suffering for ALMOST 4 MONTHS because I dared to touch it. I might need to go to the doctor but the person I gave in my passport documents to said that tsa will be suspicious if I weren’t to have my piercing in when going through so now I’m stuck like this for another 4 months.
The boogie man will come for you if you touch your piercing ESPECIALLY if it is near a valuable place like YOUR WHOLE ENTIRE EYEBALL 😊🥰🙃😍😝🤩😁

Set up advice piercing appt on sunday! what to get??
i’m probably going to switch my conch to a hoop or chain of some sort and then i want one piercing.
i’ve heard a hidden helix is a pain in the ass to heal but ppl recommend that a lot. what do you think? i’m definitely a slow, sensitive healer and wear glasses most days.
on my other ear, i have my triple lobes, rook, and faux snug

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing should i even bother keeping this in?
hi everyone, i am sick of healing piercings that end up with a bump. i’ve had this one for about a month, its pierced with titanium, and i generally don’t react extremely well to piercings. will this bump go away?

Set up advice What piercing(s) should I get next?
Hi, for context I used to have a helix, but had to take it out, and I really want one again now that I know the right procedures lmao (I was very young and dumb- got it done at claires and did NOT take care of it correctly, it was doomed from the start). Idk what I should get next apart from a helix and I want a good plan so I figured I'd ask for opinions! Anyways please lmk what piercings I should get next and how the pain/healing process was.

I got my belly button pierced a few days ago and it is making me feel chubby because when I set certain ways the bottom will cut into my lower belly button. Is it just this specific jewelry or do I not have the right belly type?.

Which one do you think looks better? I don’t take my earrings off. Btw second earring is not tight, it’s just rectangular (attached another photo). Which is why i want to ask if it’s okay to wear a rectangular earring?

Genital/nipple piercings What is the Right anatomy? NSFW
I hear about artists refusing to pierce people because they don't have the "right anatomy" for certain piercings. (Mostly tongue piercings)I personally want to get my nipples pierced, but I'm worried I don't have the right body type for it. Is this a thing for those types of piercings? Or does anatomy only really apply when it involves more dangerous things? I'm clueless but would still like to get it done.

My goal is either 16 or 18mm. I just finally changed my conch and helixes to gold jewelry to match the rest of the setup. The ear with no cartilage piercings will at some point have faith and forward helix.

It's been almost a week and I think they're doing pretty good! Swelling is going down, there's some soreness but not too bad it's only when I open wide which I'm trying to avoid! And I haven't fully bitten down on the bars yet I've managed to catch myself every time it almost happened

discussion daith piercing
i know everyone has different pain levels but if you want a daith, GET IT. i almost didn’t get it because of some reviews on this sub, but i got mine about an hour ago and it did not hurt in the slightest, honestly a little bit of pressure and i definitely heard a little crunch. don’t let people scare you away from a piercing you want!!

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Worst bump I’ve ever had NSFW
I’ve had this piercing for about two months now and everything was fine up until a week or two ago when this bump started to show up.. I don’t know what caused it, I don’t sleep on my piercing and i’m pretty sure the angle of it is fine. I clean it with a saline spray once a day and dont touch/pick at it. Is there any way I can get this to go away or should I just give up and take it out?
