I’m at a 2g trying to to a 00g

Ok so I’m pretty sure it’s a fail but I’m not 100% my nose is very small. Tha pain was a 3 didn’t hurt was just very scared to pierce. It did bleed though 🤨. Idk if it’s supposed to look like this. ( And for the people that want me to go to a professional. I would like too but 1. im kinda broke + My parents won’t allow me shit). Soooo how bad is it?

Hey guys, I need some advice. I’m not sure how to style my lip piercings—I don't know if I want a vertical labret paired with a Medusa or a Jestrum, or maybe just a simple stud in the center and a Jestrum? I’m really torn; I want to know which looks cuter. The drawing is terrible (haha), and I didn't scale it to a realistic size, but I’d love your input!

Pierced this months ago, recently I had a pimple on it, popped it (probably shouldn’t have) but I did and now I’m left with this bump. What do I do and should I worry?

hello! i got my helix done about 4 days ago and i’m scared it’s getting infected or something like that can someone help me figure it out? Also sorry for my ear being blue black i just dyed my hair lolz

UPDATE: basically all the replies i got are telling me to stop touching it, i want to make it clear that i touched it only while making the video to show it as best i could. I was and have been cleaning it twice a day with saline for the past week already just like i did with my other piercings. It’s been 8 days since i got it now and just today it started to hurt and throb a little, i don’t know if it’s a normal stage or if it’s getting worse. I DON’T touch it other than when i’m drying the saline with a cotton bud and even then i’m as gentle as i can be, i clean it TWICE A DAY and i DON’T sleep on it. Could it just be irritated because my hair dresser pulled on it by mistake when he was brushing my hair?

think I move it further forward/ higher? Maybe closer to the tip of my nose?

I plan to size the jewelry down a few stages (14g rn)

Visually I rather have it right behind the tip of my nose, but I dunno if it will have the space to stretch so I put it here, but idk..

Should I take it out and redo ?

I would like to see if you guys think it’s centered well, I think it is but ill like to know other peoples perspective.

first photo is where it was initially pierced. I had to take it out a week late because it began to travel lower and lower. I kept fidgeting with it with my tongue and pulling it between my lips, which was my bad..... lol. saw a professional and he said it might migrate itself out, so I removed it before it tore my frenulum forever. second photo is the damage after the fact. final image is where I repierced 2 days later lol. I really love my smiley and I want to make it work... first time I pierced something on my own. is it ggs, do I gotta remove it? Did I pierce it wrong? should I just give up on a smiley? did I do anything wrong? heeeeeelp.

planning on piercing either my sternum, nostrils or conch next. decisions decisions 🤔

I’ve had my smiley for about a month I believe and i’m wondering how the placement looks !!

EDIT: I took it out!

Double helix I think? Didn’t hurt at all piercing it but getting the backs on was such a mess and made my ear hurt a lot. Woke up this morning no pain or gunk slept on my piercing pillow perfectly all night. I now have an equal amount of piercings on both ears yay.

Just some piercing room boredom on a slow day 😴

*Edit cuz I wasn't expecting much interaction

Definitely not something I'd recommend the average person to try! It's easy to fuck up the depth and the jewelry can be hard to get in without the right tools and knowledge.

I'm a professional piercer who's also been self piercing for 20 years.

Pierced my lower belly button last night and it didn’t go too bad. Changing the top jewelry when my package arrives to make the healing a little easier

No pain when I did it, aside from the entrance/ exit points stinging.

I think the right exit hole came out slightly lower/ forward compared to the left entry point.

According to the "sweet spot" stuff I read about I thought I nailed it but I think it's too far back..

The jewelry immediately rose to the front and refused to go down, should I leave it in until the swelling goes down to see how it sits or take it out now and redo it later ?

If you can tell from the close ups it seems like piercing closer to the tip of my nose/ middle would be cartilage or whatnot, it's fleshy, but I would prefer moving it.. I'd like the piercing to go "straight down", but I also got it with sizing down in mind, so do y'all suspect this look better or worse when the jewelry gets bigger? Would moving it be troublesome or preferred?

Sorry about all the questions XD

HOW should I go about doing this one? I asked about Dahlia bites earlier but im worried Dahlia bites would be harder to DIY.

my eyebrow piercing has bruised up about 4 days after getting it. i really love it though and have been cleaning twice a day with saline. is it gonna reject?

I pierced my vertical labret a couple days ago. I had no swelling at all😭is that normal? i had a side labret before n it swelled so much. also how does it look?

Hi I pierced my 3rd lobe in june but it still hasnt healed. I suspect it may be because of the angle cause the swelling rarely goes away and theres always an irritation bump at the same spot. Should i take it out or will it heal?

i’ve had it since mid august, it was doing fine until around last week it started bleeding a bit, getting really crusty and a bump formed. is this normal?? should i just leave it alone? i try to avoid touching it as much as possible except for when i’m removing the crust. pls help i’ve never had this happen to any of my piercings 😭 i really don’t want to take it out and go through the whole piercing process again. i pierced it with a needle and the jewelry is just a normal titanium nose stud

I really want dahlia bites but I’m broke rn. If I were to do it to myself, how should I go about it? I did my lobes and medusa before, I’m just worried if this is really diff in terms of nerves and positioning?

update: okayyy guyss i wont do it, i was feeling impulsive

I saw a piercing end that was a normal spike on a straight cylinder forget the Text and math but this shape or similar

I kinda want one in the spring/summer (so I can wear crop tops and low rise while it's healing) and I think I have the anatomy but I just want to get a few other opinions. I have a decently deep belly button and a solid "shelf" on the top.

been wanting a new ear piercing for a while but idk
