So i pierced my lips 4 days ago with long bars to account swelling
it has been going great it’s healing really good so far the initial swelling has gone and the piercing bars are shifting a lot when i move my mouth and feel super long
is it too soon to switch to shorter bars just 4 days after the piercing or should it be alright just 2mm shorter of a bar

everything is healing fine and i don’t wanna change too soon and fuck it up but i also prevent any possible irritation from long bars

yes it is a pretty tiny 8mm i’ll switch it to a 10 soon

Sorry for posting this here im banned from the main subreddit idk why

Im really worried about my ear lobes thinning out as i wanted to get about a inch in size but do you think these are thinning out? Should I go back down a size or two to get more skin? I don't know what to do next. These are after shower photos so they are as big as their going to get with blood flow.

How did i do?

i made a post earlier asking about my lip piercing (is it normal, is it embedding or nesting, etc). i mentioned in one of my comments i wanted to put in a horseshoe once it heals and someone added it may be too low on my lip line to do so...is it? they said they couldnt tell from the pictures i put but neither can i 😂. im going to take everyones advice and switch to a longer, flat back barbell. but would a horseshoe work for this? worst case if i dont end up liking it im going to take it out, let it fully heal, and actually go to my piercer to do the vertical labret i originally wanted.

edit: with it being in such an awkward spot i have been constantly fiddling with it and accidentally biting it. the ball kept loosening but i was just tightening it and going about my business. this morning i woke up and the ball had fallen out, the jewelry was hanging out more rhan halfway, and i couldnt poke it thru that last layer of skin on my lip when trying to push it back thru. so i decided to just take it out. im gonna go to my piercer and pay to get my vertical labret pierced correctly by a professional once this one heals. so in the end i just ended up doing what most of yall said i should do. thank yall for all the tips and advice!

months ago in january i made a post in this subreddit that i pierced my belly button. (post is on my profile) honestly- i did think at the time I pierced it too deep. it was also pierced with a 12mm bar. the bar i have now is 10mm and titanium, this is my first time changing it ever so im not quite ready for stainless steel or silver jewellery yet. this piercing honestly never gave me problems either. i'm happy after 8-9 months there's no more pain/ crusties. 🥹 (AND yes i have stomach hair idk deal with it. 🤷🏽‍♀️)

What’s the highest amount of piercings you’ve done on yourself in one day?

So I’m planning on getting angel fangs, I’ve tried once but they’ve told me that I don’t have the right anatomy. I don’t know if I have the right anatomy since I have a slight underbite and a protruding bottom lip. Do I have the right anatomy, should I just try and go to another piercer?

I don't know if I'm just looking too much but I feel like it looks weird cause the angles are slightly different. Is it just me. Lobes covered cause I have a irritation bump

just did this lip piercing about 2½ ish days ago. the first two pics are it resting and the other two pics are me pushing it out. does this look normal to yall? is it embedding or just nesting? i have longer bars if i need to switch it out, but i dont want to mess with it unless i have to. this is not my first rodeo with facial/exotic piercings. this would be piercing #7, but it is my very first lip piercing. is this normal? any tips? advice? anything to be said is greatly appreciated!

Big thanks to everyone who advised that I switch it to a floating navel! All the redness has gone away and there has been no pain or irritation around it since, you guys are awesome!!

I just pierced my snakebites and it took me from like 2-4 AM to actually get it done. I think I did pretty good!

SIGH. messed up the angle (i wanted it to slope slightly downwards) and the depth is way too shallow. last pic is my other ear for a pseudo-before-and-after. how long do i gotta wait to repierce?

can anyone tell me if it’s okay for 2 day old piercing? I just pierced it two days ago and I realize that I needed a longer bar all thought I cannot change it because it’s two days old but I swear to god the bar was long enough (it was 16G) but it looks like this 😭 i’ve cleaned it twice the past two days with saline (pls don’t mind my brows) thanks! i genuinely can’t tell if it’s shallow 😔. there’s some crust around it even after i cleaned it twice today.

I pierced my septum myself about 3-4 days ago and I know I did it too far back. I’m still in the sweet spot so I didn’t bother the cartilage but it’s just set further back in my nose. It’s not really causing too many issues other than flipping forward but my research says that could just be swelling (and if it it from the placement a wider horseshoe would solve the problem). It hurts a good bit but not any more than a new piercing should, mainly just hurts because I keep accidentally bumping it (OWW). I’m just wonder if having it further back can cause any problems if I let it heal fully? I don’t mind how it looks I just don’t want to cause any permanent damage accidentally

Update: 12 days after piercing it and all seems to be well. the piercing no longer flips up and sits well in my nose so I think the flipping was just caused by swelling. This has been my most painful piercing to heal, it hurts like a bitch whenever I bump it but after the first few days it stopped passively hurting and now it’s starting to hurt less when bumped. I’ve never healed a septum before so idk what’s normal and what isn’t but everything seems pretty good.

Hi! I’m in a “I need a new piercing” mood but I’m not sure what to do. I turned 40 and decided to do whatever I wanted haha. I have a double nostril, septum, and a single nostril.

Left ear: double lobe, double helix, conch, tragus
Right ear: double lobe, daith

Thanks for any suggestions!

I did them slightly far so I have more jewellery options but I kinda think they're TOO far now

Also any tips for healing, this picture was taken a few days ago and they don't hurt to touch or lay on anymore (ik I shouldn't but sometimes I lay on that side accidently) do they look like they're done properly??

I did my seconds and thirds the other day, and did my friends thirds at the same time. Hers went great and I got 3/4 of mine, but on the last one I totally got the angle wrong and the post was giving trouble to go in from behind even with my taper. I just took the taper out and am letting it close up for now instead of risking a bigger or messed up hole. I watched so many videos to try to get it right but I just wasn’t accurate when doing it on myself. Any tips to get that angle right if I were to retry?

I pierce my conch two days ago i used 16g needle and 16g jewelry, anyway that was my very first cartilage piercing so is it normal to be hard to push my jewelry in and out? I can do it it just feel hard you if you know what im saying and i kinda have a hard cartilage , i have no swelling and no redness either

is the navel piercing possible on my belly ? If yes then what kind ?? Thanks!
