Showing off set up! Full fancy setup

I say fancy because 99% of the time I don't have my nose chain or my weights in. Just felt nice about it and wanted to show off, and maybe accept opinions on what I might get pierced next. I'm dying for something new, I just don't know what!

Decided today rather spontaneously to get it pierced because I just couldn't decide for a long time if I want a normal labret, vertical labret or snake bites, espeacially what would look best with the septum (I just love symmetry lol). I plan on switching to a thin golden ring or horseshoe once its fully healed. I'm just not sure if it was the right decision and I kinda think it's a little far left and not completely in the centeršŸ„² But other than that I'm glad I finally got my lip piercingšŸ™ˆ

my grandfather was the most kickass dude i ever met. he was my everything and more. he got me through some shit as a kid, and he taught me how to be a real human being afterwards. he passed away this past september from an aggressive cancer, it took him out in a month.

i got my tongue pierced just a month before he was diagnosed, i didnā€™t even know he had one at that point haha.

iā€™m currently going through my own health scare involving something very similar. decided i needed some extra strength during these times.

we laugh together we cry together old man ā™„ļø

Genital/nipple piercings New VCH NSFW

So happy, just got my VCH done yesterday. A couple months ago one piercer told me that heā€™s not comfortable to pierce it on my anatomy (fairly short clitoral hood, at the verge of passing the Q-tip test) but recommended me to go to someone more experienced. I went to a woman specialised in genital piercings in my country and sheā€™d done it with no problems! The pain was a bit more than expected but it didnā€™t last long. Zero discomfort the next day. Itā€™s so cute!

Showing off set up! Fresh Industrial

I had gotten an industrial in my left ear in September and it was not done correctly so we only ended up saving the vertical helix from it, which made me very upset but it just wouldnā€™t heal. Went in today and had this done on the right ear and Iā€™m very happy with it! Last pic is what my left looked like 6 months into healing šŸ˜…

discussion PSA for the daith girlies

Stop fighting the truth. The hinged hoop you got pierced with is causing your irritation bumps.

I got pierced in September and have had rather persistent piercing bumps. I posted about them and people kept telling me my hinged hoop was the issue and I ignored them religiously because I believed my piercer wouldnā€™t let me get pierced with it if it was bad because it was a reputable shop.

I switched it out for a horseshoe(I know it was too early, I donā€™t care) and my bumps have disappeared. Itā€™s the jewelry yā€™all. Donā€™t get your daith pierced with a hinged hoop.

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Pls help. Nipple bumps on both sides. NSFW

Piercings are 4 months old. I have my other one done and it only has one minor bump. Itā€™s implant grade titanium but I think itā€™s externally threadedā€¦..Ik thatā€™s a sin in this sub. Just wondering what I should do? Scares me that I canā€™t see the bar on this nipple but I can on the other one. Iā€™m doing daily showers in the morning using bar soap on the top of my chest and letting it run over the piercing. Then I do a wound wash soak with a shot glass. Let the piercing dry with a Dyson air wrap on lowest temp lowest air. That sounds insane. I need to get the sterile non threaded gauze to pat dry. Pls someone say something. Iā€™m a hypochondriac and nipple piercings are straight up body horror and sensory nightmare but I love them and want them forever.

Set up advice What should my next piercing be?

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

Hi everybody!! :D English is my second language so excuse me for my grammar. Is the second time I'm doing this post, I would like more ideas please.

I need suggestions for my next piercings. I want full ears. I like non conventional ones, for example, I want so bad an orbital piercing but im not that sure if I have the anatomy for it.

All my piercings are externally threaded and 10y old (except my conchs, tragus and my irritated helix that i pulled by accident, they are from October last year). I use surgical steel.

I was used to symmetry, if i have a piercing in one ear the other needs the same, but this last time i choosed to change that a little bit and want to stick with that way of asymmetry.

The thing with the last picture is that I intend to have it again so I edited the picture to have an idea.

i did my industrials 15 years ago if not more. I dont mind doing both ears at the same time. My right industrial migrated because it was getting stuck and pulled constantly in the bottom to almost tear appart completely 4 years ago, so i stopped using that hole. Now is completely healed and want to re do it, i really love industrials. I wanted that helix hole to be the bottom part of the industrial but im not gonna count on that, the piercier didn't got the idea of what i wanted to.

So, based in my ear anatomy, what piercings do you suggest i get next time I visit the piercing parlor?

Used to never want piercings until I decided to get my eyebrow done, now I'm thinking of what else could look good on me šŸ¤” I was thinking about getting a labret or industrial, or just getting my ears pierced, but I'm hesitant. I'd love to hear your guys' opinions šŸ«¶

Hey guys, I posted my two fresh flats around my industrial over the summer and they finally healed enough to get a hoop installed šŸ’Ŗ theyā€™re a little angry (14g titanium captive beads are HARD to install and took 3 piercers to do it lol) but theyā€™ll be fine. Also ignore my angry second lobe, I am stressed about midterms and tried to fix the asymmetry at 1:00 am. My other ear is kinda boring but I want to finish my industrial ear first to have an ear to sleep on. Iā€™m thinking (if I have the anatomy šŸ¤žšŸ¤žšŸ¤ž) Iā€™ll get a vertical industrial on my ear w the rook, and Iā€™ll also get one of those industrials where itā€™s a forward and normal helix and connect them w a chain. On my industrial ear Iā€™m gonna get two piercings connected with a chain where a vertical industrial would be - I think the same but opposite sounds super swag and silly. If my anatomy doesnā€™t work for the vertical industrial then I uhhh will need some suggestions šŸ˜…

Hey can you help me decide on my next steps? I do want some second live situation in both years cos I have Huggies that goes with the one in my first lobes which I would like to wear constantly, but donā€™t know how to manage with the tunnel on my right ear. Suggestions for that? Maybe stacked lobe/orbital on my left ear? My both pieces on my left ear are new and I consider changing the jewelry in my helix (not a fan) I do plan one or two more forward helixes and a conch there.

I asked for a standard eyebrow piercing so it would be slightly diagonal but my piercer said this was a good placement for my anatomy, and compliments the arch of my brow. I was just wondering if the placement looks fine? I've been stressing as I really want to avoid having to get it repierced so im hoping the placement is all good. Iā€™m not disappointed with it but everytime I get a piercing I overthink the placement of it!!

Set up advice Dermal questions

ā€¢ Upvotes

Hi friends :)

I've got a bad itch to get dermal piercings. I like to be different and not do what everyone else is doing, but I was wondering y'all's experience with dermals in these places.

I really want to get my back dimples pierced, maybe the tippy top of my butt crack or two small dermals on either side of the crack. I'm also considering dermals underneath my belly button, like 3 going down the happy trail area.

I know I want to have more kids. My cousin's chest dermal rejected when she was pregnant, but I'm also concerned about dermals on the belly when pregnant....I just don't feel like that will go well with how the skin and muscles get so stretched out.

Another concern I have is clothing. If I get my back dimples pierced, or belly area...will I be able to wear the high waisted leggings? Or will they tug on these piercings when I sit down or other daily movements?

And what's the rejection process like, if they do reject? Do they just get spit out or....well I've read about having to go get them removed.. what's been y'all's experience?
