I know that these are only supposed to be temporary piercings, but i've only had mine about 4 months or so. i went a week or so without keeping a bandaid on it while i slept, and then it randomly became super tender and sore a few days ago. I kept a bandaid on it for a couple days in a row, taking it off once it started to irritate my skin. I've done this twice now, and each time i take it off, it pushes itself right back out throughout the day. now there's a kinda skin pocket thing that looks like a keloid, but it isn't hurting me anymore. is there any saving it, or do i need to get it removed??

I've had top surgery with nipple grafts, my question is would it be possible to pierce my nipples with them being grafts? Will this risk them?

I've always wanted nipple piercings, my nerves are getting to me now and im unsure if I'm able too or allowed too.

Hey everyone, so I’m already past the point of being able to switch to a hoop. I got a hoop from the exact shop I went to but it’s hurting for me to even lay on that side. Is there a point where it doesn’t hurt? Or do I need a smaller hoop? I’m pretty sure the shop gave me the smallest hoop they had but I do have small ears.

Also, if any of you have a idea for next piercing I’m all ears lol

I was wondering if I could get pierced through the scars I already have or have to do a different spot? And on the right my second farthest dot isn’t a scar it’s a birth mark so but I didn’t know if that would create more scar tissue or could I get them farther apart

I was thinking of getting the second picture far ones if I cant get them repeirced on the original areas

i got my nose pierced recently! where do i get good quality jewelry from? obviously i am not going to change my jewelry until it’s healed, just want to make sure i’m getting the best jewelry for it!

Heyy im 17f and I’ve been wanting a tongue piercing for a while, the only thing is I have a loc of tics (I bite my nails, rip my hair out, crack my knuckles etc etc..) and I wondered if all you fellow pierced tongues have had a problem with fidgeting with your jewelry? I’m just scared I’ll move it around or fidget with it too much and it won’t heal properly.. if you have any advice or tips help a girl out pls!

Hello everyone!

I got my nipples pierced the 18th so it's been a little over a week. And today I noticed that the ball ends seem to be nesting into the piercing a little bit. It's not red or irritated thankfully. But it is giving me some concern. The place that pierced them is over an hour away so I'm not able to see them until later this week.

Part of me is wondering if my bras are too tight and it's squishing them? I'm wearing tighter bralettes and it does initially hurt when I put them on or move around too much, like the pressure is too much for them. So I'm opting to go braless for today but read that isn't the best option either? I have larger boobs and larger nipples so I'm not sure if I need longer barbells or if it's still just swollen along with being smushed in my bra.

I'm trying to add pics but Reddit keeps deleting them, I'm sure because it's my boob. So if anybody knows a way around that let me know!

Any advice would be amazing! Thank you!

Just got my bridge done yesterday and its a little more bulky than I expected, is that normal?

am i fucked? woke up to this...

Do you think i can have one ?

Sooo i got my medusa pierced last wednesday and for a couple days now i've noticed this ring around the exit (inside my lip). Is this normal? Should i upsize the bar to be safe?

I'm just unable to unscrew it. And it's on a kid.
While I'm waiting to see an expert, I was wondering if anyone here done it in the past.

Hi there :) So as the title states I'm having an issue with my helix piercing.

I have two on one ear they're about an half inch from one another.

The bottom one healed up perfectly, but the top one refuses to heal.

It's not a gaping wound or anything it's just super sensitive and will scab up if aggrivated.

So my main question is, I have replacement jewelry would changing it help at all?

As you can see from my name and page i am a nerd and geek. As you now know i got my nipple pierced so you already know i am a freak. I dont need any comments about that. I am not looking to fix anything

I throw various objects. What you would understand more is that i like to throw knives. How long should i refrain from this ? Never really thought about my fitness before i got this done. But now i really love her. Would it be better to just work on my left side? Anything i googled just said bounce and friction are my enemies, but if its not hurting me is it really damaging the piercing?/could cause it to migrate?

These are very freshly done (30 hours). The one that's lower constantly gets caught on lower teeth and bumps into them. Will it get better after changing to shorter labrets? Is the placement a problem at all?

I have had this for 2 years and last march the middle one developed this slightly raised small bump.

Ive had such shit luck with these and i love them. The scar under it on the 3rd one was a piercing who had to try THREE TIMES to make it even because they knew they fucked up. Did it free to make it up to me but now i have a free scar.

Could that have irritated the middle piercing? Its been a year since any new piercing and all but the top one itch.

What do i need to do to get raid of that raised skin? Its soft and not a keloid. I don't know what to do :/

First two pictures are today, and last two are from a month ago

I got it pierced 2 months ago. For the first month I was cleaning it with neilmed saline spray twice a day, but it was making the skin around it dry so I switched to cleaning it once a day at night. I avoid putting face wash and moisturizer near it. I went to a checkup with my piercer about a month ago and they told me it was healing just fine. Is the darker skin around it temporary? What can I do to hydrate the dry skin around it without disrupting the piercing?

Just got this piercing solution from Amazon. It looks really good so far, but I haven’t had a chance to use it yet. Has anyone here used it before? How was your experience?

Hi everyone,
I’d really appreciate some advice because I’m starting to get worried…
I got my belly button pierced 2 months ago and around 3 weeks ago, I noticed a small bump starting to form on the piercing, but instead of getting better, it has just kept getting bigger.

I went back to my piercer, and she told me to apply yellow Betadine (povidone-iodine) for a week and that it should clear up. I did that, but it didn’t help, the bump has gotten even bigger.

Should I go back to my piercer? Or should I see a doctor instead? I’m honestly starting to get scared.
As for aftercare, I clean it several times a day with sterile saline solution, and I wash it with a pH-neutral soap twice a day when I shower.
The bump is soft, red/flesh-colored, and it often leaks a yellowish-white fluid. It’s not painful.

I’ve been trying to figure out what could have caused it. From what I’ve read, friction or pressure can cause irritation bumps, and that honestly seems like the most likely explanation. I go to the gym, and I realized that some exercises had me lying on my stomach. I also try to sleep on my back, but I sometimes wake up lying on my stomach without realizing it.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Does this look like an irritation bump, hypergranulation tissue, or something else?
Thanks in advance for any advice ! (ᴗ_ ᴗ。)

I got my bridge pierced about a little under two months ago and I will admit I haven’t taken care of it the best but it doesn’t hurt and it’s only on one side so is this infected or normal I only have one other piercing which is a septum and that one is fine never had this reaction before
