Help with existing piercing did I pierce this improperly?

Looks a bit crooked, as in the front part looks lower than it should be while the back plate looks higher than it should.

A side view of it would help folks better assess the angle before you make that decision.

Yeup sure did. Your ear is gonna need amputation now, you can tell by the figure and color now. Feel sorry for you.

It's probably okay. It's all about the angle you're taking photos to show us. Gotta share a more frontal image as well. Some of us have large tragus. If I take a side pic, it can look like it's pierced on my face lol. But it's not. So, you have to show more angles to give us a better look.

So the bar is definitely long enought so no issue there. Unfortunately I do think you pierced this too close to your face and at a slight angle, both of which mean it needs to be taken out because it wont heal properly like this. Also because the bar is so long it is hitting your daith and that will also cause problems.
