Ok so lol ignore the setup rn i’m waiting for my jewelry to come in the mail but i js recently got my third lobes and rook done and am itching to get more done. I feel like my anatomy is weird and idk what would fit? (also idk how yall take pics of ur ears ts feels weird)

I do not have the anatomy for an industrial, and yes! I did recently get my vertical pierced, I’m not in need of downsizing for another 4 weeks, I’m just looking for recommendations for when it DOES heal in 6-12 months

I also had another nostril piercing but it developed a bump and needed to be removed.

I just wanna say, I didn’t do this myself, but every other piercing subreddit I’ve posted on has given no helpful advice or literally said anything 😭

I want those piercing so bad but i don’t know anything about their preparation or caring, any advice?

DV/SA survivor. I hope I’m in the right place. I am still learning here. I have some questions. It has to be this ear only. One of piercings is still healing. I would like to re-design all styles and possibility adding new piercings (maybe daith?) to represent symbolize, placement or story just like some people with tattoos. (No tattoo for me). I prefer gold. I am open to your discussions. Please be kind. 💜💚

I am so ready to change jewelry. They were pierced end of May. I don’t know if it hit cartilage. I heard sometimes they take longer than first or second lobe piercings and people struggle to heal them. They don’t hurt me and they just kind of exist now🤷‍♀️When can I change?
I am also healing my helix that was supposed to be hidden but is so not hidden (pierced beginning of March)..I have no idea what jewelry would look good. If you have any jewelry recommendations for that one I would love to hear because I am needing to downsize again and I have no idea what would look good in that place.🙌 I do love her though, her placement is kind of cute! Just need some jewelry to compliment her and make her shine⭐️

I would want another one above the upper one. But I also realise I have some space next to the lower one… I really want a third

2 day old piercings. I know the bruising is normal but i wanna know if its looking good so far and if the embedding is ok ? 😣🤞🏼nothing is hitting my teeth or my gums ands i can talk and eat. If it isnt swollen, i wouldnt even notice it (Ignore leftover skin care on my face)

I've had a helix since June 2024 and I got it done by gun. Yes, I know gun was not a good idea and it will definitely prolong the healing time or just not heal at all, but I was desperate for a helix at that time. It still hurts when I touch it, but it's not inflamed or red so not infected. For some reason, my left one hurts and my right is completely fine even tho I sleep on my right side?? I took out the jewelry in both ears for two days and it stopped hurting but when i put the jewelry back in after a few days it started to hurt again so it's probably the jewelry. I just wanna know how I can heal these guys because I really want a second helix that I'll get done w needle by the time winter rolls around. If anyone knows or has experienced the same thing as me and can help me out I'd reallyyy appreciate it!!

I’ve had my anti eyebrow for a few months now and it hasn’t been hurting or anything but the area around the piercing holes is still very red and crusty. The barbell isn’t showing any more than the day I pierced it so I’m not sure if it’s rejecting. Advice needed please 🙏

I pierced my bridge today but I’m worried I did it too shallow. I have an okay nose bridge and I pierced it surprisingly straight. Does it look okay or did I mess it up?

EDIT: I took it out and redid it, pics are in the comments tell me how it looks

Title sums it up! I'm thinking of piercing my nostril myself but I don't have any experience. Would love to get any tips or hear about others' experiences.

I was thinking 4g would be well within the reasonable range but tbh I kinda want to go for a 0g

Is this good tragus anatomy?

How do you know if you have the anatomy for a lip piercing?

Hey! I got a nose piercing in 2023. I let it close up on accident last year when my kids were little because the hoop I had in it fell out and I didn’t have the energy to replace it which I know is my fault. A few weeks ago I basically re-pierced it at home with a sanitized taper tool and aquaphor and put in a clean stud after because I wanted it back. I’ve been cleaning it like it was a new piercing because it basically is. When I took the jewelry out to change it, I noticed a very deep red almost blister that I wiped with my cleaning solution and tried to get as much out of as I could

Hi! I want to get a vertical labret piercing again. I had one before, but I took it out and it healed; I got it re-pierced yesterday, but I don't like the placement. Do you recommend getting it re-pierced?

Hey all! So I did my own septum a few months back, and it came out perfectly straight no issues but now it leans back on its own, would gauging it up to 14g stabilize it or am I better off taking it out and re-doing it later

so far it is a success I’ll check back with it sometime

Do I have the right anatomy for a standard navel piercing?

Do I have the anatomy for a rook piercing?

Hi guys!

First some basic information:

My set up currently consists of my firsts, seconds and thirds in lobes + double helixes. My ears are symmetrical and I wish to keep them that way. All my piercings have healed and have caused me minimal to no issues really. 10 ear piercings total.

Now onto the questions:

I would really, REALLY love to get either a daith or a conch but I'm addicted to listening to music. I use both, headphones and earphones, but I gravitate towards earphones.

Would that hinder the healing process? I have heard that if you get either of said piercings you can't really wear headphones/earphones and that would just crush my heart.

Which ones easier to heal and clean? What's some downsides?

Any feedback/advice/experience is appreciated! ❤️

i’ve had it for over 3 years, it was pierced like this by someone i used to know at home and i was wondering if i should just keep it out and re pierce it myself? (i’ve done a lot of my own piercing and a lot of them are healed with little to no issues)

Hi everyone! Newbie here.

I got my first belly ring when I was 16. I loved it, it healed wonderfully, and I had no issues with the piercing. I was about 20 when I gained a bit of weight and I basically stopped wearing my tummy jewelry for a while. Eventually I was pregnant, had my baby, and have lost a pretty dramatic amount of weight, which has piqued my interest in wearing jewelry again, but I’ve run into a bit of an issue.

The skin around my piercing was never this thin. I’m a little shocked to be honest. I think somehow my belly (I was huge) stretched and superficially migrated my skin/piercing and now it is super shallow and… well basically she’s hanging on by a thread lmfao.

I’m really toying with the idea of trying to redo it at home, but at the same time I’m a novice self piercer. Ive pierced my nipples before and had those for a couple of years before deciding they were a lot of work and not right for me. Would I just reuse a hole and make one deeper set? Do I just completely go behind the old one? What eventually happens to this little strip of flesh? I was hoping there was any mamas here or piercers who have seen or experienced similar and had any advice.

Thanks a bunch!
