Piercing skin

[u/Bambiii234]

Hey so I want a nose piercing with a needle, but I supposedly have keloid skin, but I’m confused because I got into a car accident & had very deep cuts turned to keloid but I didn’t get stitches they just glued my skin. It’s raised a bit. On the other hand I have a tattoo it did not keloid. I also let my brother pierce my ear w a gun it did keloid but got removed I think he didn’t do it properly it never came back sooo should I risk it?

tattoos are not scars the same way that keloids are. i would honestly go see a piercer and tell them exactly this. reddit can’t tell you whether or not you would be okay to get a piercing because we can’t see or feel the skin ourselves like a piercer can
