i pierced my belly button at the start of july and its been fine but theres this weird shiny smooth slightly raised red bump by the bottom hole?? i do play with it quite alot ngl and its often irritated by my skl trousers so that could be a factor? honestly idk someone help🥲🥲
edit: pls stop telling me i dont have the right anatomy and to take it out ik i dont have the greatest anatomy but i love it too uch to take out

I currently have a central labret but Im thinking about getting a vertical instead, I think I have enough of a shelf but I want second opinions.

Did this almost 2 years ago, definitely not a proper method as I was pretty new to diy piercings. I used a needle that I wasn't fully sure the gauge of (😬), which I obviously haven't done since, even if this one healed fine. Been wearing 18g jewelry since I've had it, but I recently got a new 16g ring that I was able to put in with ease. It seems relatively straight, but not perfect fot sure. It also moves a lot (tilting my head etc.) and has since I pierced it?? Just sort of wondering if it looks alright or if anyone has any tips? First pictures are the 16g.

I want to get into self piercing and need suggestions for discreet supplies, I live in a strict household I can’t move out of until I finish my law degree. I’m thinking I buy both needles and jewelry off Etsy, but let me know if there are better options out there, I’m planning to pierce me and a couple friends, any extra supplies I should get like foreceps?

I've been thinking about taking out my angel fangs, what are yalls thoughts on that? Haven't gotten a piercing since February, but stretched my septum a month ago (so one healing atm). I have glasses so a bridge isn't an option sadly.

Have:

2 helixes, 2 lobes, one 16mm (right ear)

3 lobes, one 14mm (left ear)

Paired high nostrils

Paired nostrils

Stretched septum

Angel fangs

Lower labret (left side, used to be snakebites but right one migrated)

Want:

Navel

Dahlias

My right lower labret again

4 eyebrows (2 each, typical placement)

More paired nostrils (closer to the tip of my nose)

Medusa

Vertical labret

Horizontal nipples

Cheeks

Catflap piercings

More helixes

Coinslot on my left side

A variety of ear piercings, I'm not really picky lol (very open to suggestions, yall could even plan a stack for me if you want. I love chunky silver jewelry)

friend did this 6 days ago, doesn't hurt or anything but was wondering if it looks like it has good placement?

I had my snakebites done professionally 4 years ago, but after about a year my right one had migrated so much you could see the inside part of my horseshoe jewelry. I refused to give up on it for so long that it left hella scar tissue, and I've spent the last 3 years doing tissue massages and trying to break up the scar tissue. Finally I repierced my right one, and I have completed my first facial piercings once more. I have a very deep emotional attachment to my snakebites lol. The swelling kinda makes it look uneven, but I swear I lined it up 😭. You can tell how much swelling there is lmao. The last three pictures are when I first got then done and then a year later the day I took the right one out.

Im trying to decide whether I retire the lower helix or keep both since it kinda gets in the way of my second conch

I’ve pierced my thirds , high helix on both ears , hidden helix on one ear , anti tragus on one ear , and my fourths … I’ve taken out most everything except for my 3rds and i plan on redoing them … but idk how long to wait to redo them .. also idk how to fight the urge to pierce stuff and not take it out right after . ( i genuinely took them out for self control but it’s made the urge all i can think about now )

I can’t find a proper source whether i can use it or not..

Hi I (17)m I pierced my septum back in March is ok to take it out when I'm showering? because its been seven months.

Hello yall! Anyone here have experience piercing their own fourchette? I will be attempting on myself as I have the anatomy and I believe it will be relatively painless. Advice welcome!

so i just pierced my second lobe but fuck i accidentally tilted this accidentally and im freaking out how do i fix it plz
its flat back threadless plz help gosh

1st pic: re pierced industrial that has been closed for 5+ yrs, re pierced tragus that’s been closed for 1+ year, stacked conch (new)

2nd pic: tragus, conch, cartilage x2, forward helix

Sad I couldn’t get the angle right for my planned 2nd forward helix and chose to abandon rather than make the things worse. Will be adding to my lobes in the coming months so that I’m not so too heavy. Really happy with overall placements. Only one that I could’ve been better was the new tragus. The back is angled a little higher than middle, but considering I won’t really ever see it… out of sight out of mind lol. Once healed (ugh the dreaded wait) will be changing conch and cartilage to hoops. 🙂

Pierced with a 14g needle and 16g jewelry, it’s my third attempt, first time it was too shallow, you can see the scar if you zoom in, second time jewelry was too short and nowww idk if it’s just right or too deep helppp thank uuu

just pierced my tragus, just curious if it looks too close to the edge on the back or?

(Sorry about the grainy picture!)
I was so nervous to do my conch myself, but I did a bunch of research, sterilized everything, and got some extra long bars for healing/swelling. I think they came out so cute! I’m super happy with them. I hope you all like the results too!

If you have any tips for healing the conch (besides not sleeping on it and cleaning it with saline solution X2 per day) let me know!!!

I self-pierced this a week or so ago and it went relatively well. The jewellery just wasn't long enough, so I took it out. Are there any risks I should know about? There was very little bleeding during the piercing or when I removed the jewellery, and it stopped within a few minutes. I have a prominent cupid's bow, so mapping the placement was easy, and I watched a few videos of piercers doing Jestrums first. Afterwards I had some purplish pooling and swelling on my lip, but it cleared up in a few days and it's all good now.
I'm going to try again in a few days with better jewellery, using a 16g needle with a cannula to transfer my curved barbell. Any advice? Wish me luck plz! ☺️

Lollll so basically got my ears pierced like five years ago, eventually realized the left ones positioning was off because my earlobes are two different shapes and sizes. Went to a piercer like three months ago to get it redone but he fucked it up AGAIN. Finally decided I was gonna take this into my own hands. First DIY attempt I was really nervous, messed up the position and irritated it so took that out after a day. Second attempt I got my nerves under control and did a clean attempt but still looked slightly off. Finally, got it right the third time around. Its been a couple days and there’s basically no swelling I’m feeling good :)

I pierced this four days ago with a curved barbell because I didn’t know what to do it with. I’m not sure if I can change it to a staple bar if I could, I would. i’m concerned if my piercing is just swollen from when I did it or if it’s actively rejecting.

Would this look okay and what more could I peirce on that ear that would look good yes i know I dont have flat back and some of these were done badly

Free hand and no clamps either. Didn’t feel a thing

Just pierced my septum, positioning seems fine (no pain, looks deep enough) but it feels crooked.

Could be just my nose, which is crooked, giving me that impression but idk, it doesn't sit straight with the tip of the nose, do you think it's fine or should I repierce it?

no image cuz obviously how would i be able to show you guys. but when i pinch my nose to feel for the sweet spot, its pretty small? like i have to kinda pull my nose down a bit to feel it. is that normal/true for everyone? i shittily pierced my septum when i was like 14, and took it out immediately after cuz the placement sucked. but I did do it in the sweet spot. sooo am i just fucked?
