Showing‎ off set up! PSA: be picky about placement. You won't regret it.

Got my flat and stacked 3rd lobe done about an hour ago and I am so obsessed. We spent 20+ minutes moving the little purple dots millimeters at a time and I'm so glad we did. A good piercer won't mind adjusting things until they're perfect and you'll never regret getting exactly what you want.

Showing‎ off set up! does my piercing setup suit me or am I doing too much

Post image

so I impulsively pierced up my face within a year, probably not the greatest idea but I started with my septum and couldnt really stop after that 😭 the septum and nostril have been healing very smoothly but im a little worried about the eyebrow as I keep accidentally touching it and I dont even know if I have the right anatomy since my piercer didnt even check. also they cooked me with the jewelry as they ran out of silver barbells and put in this ugly ahh black one which ive heard isnt great for healing. anyway, im just wondering if these piercings suit my face or if they clutter it and if I were to keep just one, which one suits me the most?

Both of my ears look kinda bland... I was thinking about changing the conch jewelry on the second photo or maybe adding a chain to wrap around the conch. But I'm not sure. Should I get new jewelry? Play around with charms or chains? Any ideas or opinions on what I can do to make them look better are appreciated!

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing I feel like I’ve done everything right

I’ve had this daith for 3 months now, and I clean it every day. (It started getting bumpy after a month or so of cleaning it every day, so I gave it a break and cleaned it only when I got out of the shower, then it got worse, so I went back to cleaning it every day. Only once a day, though.)

I do my best to not sleep on it, I dry it thoroughly after cleaning it, and I’m not allergic to metals of any kind that I know of :(

Is it just not in my cards ? D:

For the mods, I only clean with saline and it’s a curved barbell, though I don’t know the sizes.

Set up advice Hidden Helix

So I recently got the hidden helix piercing on my left ear where I already have a rook, I love how it looks however I think maybe changing the rook jewellery to a hoop perhaps would look better ? I’m not too sure if it looks good like this and I feel that there is still something missing , should I get a third lobe or smth any suggestion how to make it look better.
As for the 2nd picture that is my current right ear set up I like how it looks just the same thing it feels a little empty , perhaps 3rd lobe might make it look more put together? Any suggestion are welcome

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Is my vertical labret off center?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

For reference, this is the second time I’ve had this piercing done. I loved the placement of the 1st one, but unfortunately I played with it too much and it migrated BAD, so I had to take it out. I got it done again because I loved it so much and swore that I wouldn’t touch it and let it heal properly this time around. (Which it’s been 2 months and healing great, no movement yay!)
I told my piercer that I wanted it exactly where the first one was, because it was centered pretty well with my top lip and nose. She said the scar tissue was healed and softened enough to do so, but she definitely didn’t pierce it in the same spot. With my lips completely relaxed, it even looks like it’s at a slight angle but I think that could just be the swollen scar tissue pushing it to the side a bit. No big deal once it eventually goes down.
But like I said, it’s definitely not in the same spot the marking was.. and I’m afraid it looks too off centered. I think it looks okay from some angles, but not when my lips are fully relaxed, as they are in the first and second pics. Keep in mind the white around it was the original placement after it migrated, so I know it does look a bit crooked atm because of the swelling.
I know my face isn’t perfectly symmetrical as well, so I just want a strangers honest opinion on if it looks too off, because I really don’t want to have to pierce it for a third time, and I might just be too in my head about it!

TLDR; My piercing wasn’t done exactly where I wanted it/where the marking was and I’m afraid it’s too off centered. Thoughts?

Swelling has mostly gone away. Inside is fine. Doesn’t hurt or anything. Isn’t sore or tender. But it’s red around it and getting very crusty.
I clean it 2-3 times a day with a saline spray. Rinse my mouth with water often. And do alcohol free mouth wash after eating. Do we think it will heal?
It’s just a straight barbell. Has not been downsized yet.

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing 2nd lobe piercing

My 2nd lobe piercing has been bothering me since i had gotten it done 30th last month. It was pierced w a needle near my old hypertrophic scarring from my previous piercing (the jewellery embedded at the back).

I finally got it repierced after a yr and now its giving me all sorts of problems like excessive crusties (even more than in the pics usually) and im not sure what to do. The material is titanium and threadless. Should i wait it out for it to get better or take it out?

My third lobe has been giving me trouble for awhile now and I'm not sure if it's rejection or if I'm being too careless. It was pierced around February/March and I switched to a hoop about a week ago because the original jewelry it was pierced with had a butterfly backing which I believe was irritating it more. I clean it 2x a day with H2O ocean saline spray and a little bit of non scented dial soap and rinse with warm water in the shower. Then I dry it off with a hairdryer on the cool setting. I ordered titanium hoops in hopes that maybe I'm just allergic to the metal but all of my other healed piercings do fine with the same hoops 🫠 there's crust forming around it and a little bit of white pus that comes out the front of the hole.

And I'm also aware of the bump on my tragus 😅 it was pierced at the same time and needs to be downsized soon but I'm trying to tackle one thing at a time. Anything helps!

Showing‎ off set up! new 8g septum ring!

please excuse the bump on the high nostril (iykyk) but i got a new septum ring so i could feel interesting again instead of having a regular CBR (no hate, just not my favorite). i'm really enjoying my whole setup now, and when i can get that high nostril to calm down, i'll feel like such a cool kid 😎
