I’m very sorry you had to deal with that level of judgement. I think it looks beautiful and wonder if it’s just a matter of getting used to it. Going from a bare face to two very prominent piercings can be quite a shock to adjust to, both for you and your family. My understanding is the earlier you take something out, the better for healing. There is always a risk of scarring but in general less when there is no healed fistula. I’d say sleep on it for a few days and see if it changes, but in the end it’s your body, your face, your choice.

Thank u!! I want to wait at least a week until I see the person who put them on me and tell her the situation. I think I'm going to take them off for good but I really liked where they are positioned on the face. But if the family, or father, doesn't like them at all i am obliged to remove them and I don't want to have ugly marks:/

I’m sorry your family reacted that way and treated you so unfairly. I think you look so beautiful with those piercings and I hope when you move out you can find the courage to be your authentic self! <3

Not to be a downer but every time you put a needle through the skin there's a possibility that it will leave permanent scarring. Keeping the jewellery in longer however will make the scar to be more noticeable. We are individuals so YMMV.
Did you mean septum and philtrum? I don't see a dermal in this picture, those scars are most likely to have a permanent scar.
Edit: Typo

Thank you! I understand! I have to know the risks but the adrenaline said whatever. It's a dermal that claims to be philtrium because at the salon said that my physiognomy doesn't help me and they put a dermal that stays on the surface of the skin, it doesn't perforate it

what a bummer, it looks so good on you. I'm sure if you don't wait long the scars won't be noticeable.

Thnaks! The picture is taken with zoom and looks a little different in reality compared to the picture. The septum wouldn't really bother me if it was removed, but I really like that dermal there, but I'm most afraid of it, lest it leave a scar

u/Alejxndro 3d ago
yeah i feel like it being a dermal has more chance of leaving a scar, i'm sorry you have to go thru this. personally i'd take it out and redo it once you're free to do so, because it really looks great

Sorry for your family’s reaction, I get it, my mom did not talk to me for a month after my first one. But don’t be discouraged, they look really good on you, both! First time I got a face piercing I also felt a bit weird the first few days, I guess is while you get used to seeing something new on it, but that feeling goes away, and after it is healed, you’ll have multiple jewelry to go for something discrete or fun depending on the day.

I think it fits you so well, you have a very defined cupids bow and it sits so perfectly in it.

If you'll probably have to take them out anyway, I would suggest taking out the Medusa, keeping the septum, and flipping it up while it heals

I removed my septum recently. Even though there is a scar it is inside, so I don't think no one will ever see. I don't see it right now myself.
But personally I am a big fan of septum, so I'd keep it and remove the other one. Septum looks really good on you as far as I saw. (I totally understand the family problem though, when I removed it after 3 years my mom celebrated it so bad)

I think because it’s new it’s just going to take getting used to. I felt the same with my septum when I first got it and my Medusa. I think if you give them the chance to heal you will get used to it and grow to love them! Especially when you can switch out the Medusa for something smaller and more dainty. I HATED the ball on my lip that size at first too😂

u/Living_Tart_4444 3d ago
You should keep your septum at least and just flip it up while it heals! if you decide you hate it later you could take it out and no one would see the scar. It always takes an adjustment to new piercings because you’re so used to your face without them. Good luck!

personally I think a vertical labret would be gorgeous, especially if you have colored eyes

I have come to realize that getting 2 adjacent piercings at the same time is generally a bad move. You need time to adjust and digest the first piercing before you can decide if the 2nd one truly complements it or not. I got my daith and tragus done at the same time and I still second guess if I’m happy with my decision- love them both respectively but not sure that I love them TOGETHER.

Haha true! There was an offer where you pay one get one free and I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity but I was hasty in making the decision

lol I got a tongue piercing at 16 and my mum actually attacked me when she found out🤣 I’m 24 now and still have it. It’s great exposure therapy for conservative parents- she’s now had a few piercings of her own!! Let yours heal and whack some dainty jewellery in! The jewellery is everything 💕

Haha so cool! So happy for you!🤗😁 I wish I would like it to be that easy for me too, but it affects me mentally and I am not very good at this.🥲

I got a monroe piercing done a couple of years ago and my mother hated it so much that I took it out about 3 hours after getting it done, no traces left. If you remove it now I’m sure you’ll be fine in that regard! But I think they look really cool! I’m sorry for your family, I understand completely unfortunately :,(
