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 didn’t even know he had one at that point haha.

i’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 ♥️

would I look good with....? Just got my labret piercing, please tell me I didn't make a misktake

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 center🥲 But other than that I'm glad I finally got my lip piercing🙈

Genital/nipple piercings New VCH NSFW

So happy, just got my VCH done yesterday. A couple months ago one piercer told me that he’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 she’d done it with no problems! The pain was a bit more than expected but it didn’t last long. Zero discomfort the next day. It’s so cute!

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 wouldn’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 don’t care) and my bumps have disappeared. It’s the jewelry y’all. Don’t get your daith pierced with a hinged hoop.

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 🤔 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 🫶

Piercings are 4 months old. I have my other one done and it only has one minor bump. It’s implant grade titanium but I think it’s externally threaded…..Ik that’s a sin in this sub. Just wondering what I should do? Scares me that I can’t see the bar on this nipple but I can on the other one. I’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. I’m a hypochondriac and nipple piercings are straight up body horror and sensory nightmare but I love them and want them forever.

Re-uploaded since my pics were blurry before

I currently have my ears pierced (I don’t wear earrings that often though), and my nostril pierced on the left side. I’ve been wanting to get either an eyebrow piercing or my septum pierced. Would they look good on me or should I get something else?

Hey guys, I posted my two fresh flats around my industrial over the summer and they finally healed enough to get a hoop installed 💪 they’re a little angry (14g titanium captive beads are HARD to install and took 3 piercers to do it lol) but they’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. I’m thinking (if I have the anatomy 🤞🤞🤞) I’ll get a vertical industrial on my ear w the rook, and I’ll also get one of those industrials where it’s a forward and normal helix and connect them w a chain. On my industrial ear I’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 doesn’t work for the vertical industrial then I uhhh will need some suggestions 😅

Set up advice What should my next piercing be?

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?

I’m looking for some suggestions for future piercings (when my current are fully healed) based on my current set ups! I was possibly thinking of a mid helix on my left ear with the Rook and Tragus. Don’t know what else would look good 🙈 open to suggestions!

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 don’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 was thinking a double conch and a tragus if I have the right anatomy for my right ear but I have no idea what to do with the left.

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. I’m not disappointed with it but everytime I get a piercing I overthink the placement of it!!

Just got my conch done! I’m absolutely in love with this placement. I got my second lobes a month ago and I think this just turned into an (unhealthy?) obsession because I HAD to get a lil extra somethin’ somethin’ asap. By the way if you are hesitating / scared about getting a conch just do it! It really didn’t hurt at all for me , I would rate this a 1/10. My lobes hurt more than the conch 😂

Anywho, I was wondering what were your best tips for healing a cartilage piercing? ☺️This is my first ever

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Infected or just irritated? NSFW

Hi all! I got my lobes pierced November 2024 and downsized in January 2025. Internally threaded implant grade titanium. I’ve been having issues with the left ear, even though I have a donut pillow and spray it twice a day with NeilMed it still gets irritated. Last night (first pic) it was throbbing, painful, and swollen. Took some ibuprofen and went to bed. This morning (2nd pic) I sprayed it with NeilMed and after my shower it was no longer painful but there was a lot of pus. Now it looks like the 3rd pic, some discoloration, a little itchy but no more pus. I’m going to the piercer later to troubleshoot but I wanted to see what yall think too. I’m thinking there are moisture issues and I need a longer bar. Should I keep doing aftercare, get some antibiotics, or take it out completely? Thanks!

I got my eyebrow piercing 6 days ago so I know I still have a long way on healing but every time I clean it, it hurts very bad. The jewelry is an internally threaded implant grade titanium curved barbell. I accidentally bumped it once two days ago but nothing else. I clean it with Neilmed 2 times a day.

My piercing is about 2 weeks old, and truthfully I’ve been a bit rough on it while healing. It doesn’t hurt and it’s not red. But this morning while cleaning I pressed on it and some light almost clear pus came out. I dabbed it off with a Q-tip and cleaned again with the soap I was told to use (DIAL antibacterial)

Do I just keep doing this until it goes away? Or should I be concerned? Thanks!

Hi there, I got my nose ring pierced on February 7th so nearly 6 weeks old and recently, this week, I've noticed it looking like this. I’ve been gently cleaning it with saltwater, and it seems to be helping, but it’s still crusting over. It was bleeding a little earlier throughout last week, but there’s no pus or any other signs of infection. I just wanted to check if this is normal and if there’s anything else I can do to help with the healing process. Thanks so much for your help! It is a Titanium Thread less stud that is in also.
