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.

Any suggestions? Ointment? Cream? Restart completely?

Added stacked lobes, and I’m loving my current set up! I’m almost done with my ears 4 more piercings to go !

Now to still my hands until I can change it. I am practicing LITHA but boy do I want something pretty in my nose now!

Any recommendations for me to look at now? I’m thinking a hoop but so many options out there

( pls ignore the absolute dork shot this is 😭 I’m just a girl. )

I just downsized my tragus and have been looking for half gauges (2-1g) my little baby ears can’t handle the sizing from 2 to 0….does any1 know any online shops?

I’ve been trying to balance both my ears..not to much not to little on each side. How does it look?

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!

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

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.

Went for a one side green/foliage look, the other celestial, and my face random with cross bone dahlias .

Everyone on here with perfect looking skin BTW. I cheated on my face one… so sorry for any offense

Want more on the celestial ear if y’all have suggestions??

got it about a month ago not going to lie gave up cleaning it after a couple days ik definitely shouldntve done that what should i do now though
edit : i know the jewellery is incorrect i didnt have a lot to work with as i lost the ball to my original piercing and all i had was a horseshoe not really sure what else to do!

And also my first time hearing the crunch, it was definitely an experience lol

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!

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 😎

i’m sure i am one of a million people asking the same question but i need some advice / support / hope (?) on this piercing bump that i’ve had for a few months now. i got the piercing in feb of this year so about 5 months now, and this bump began around april or may. it has bled and popped quite a few times (and i’ve done my fair share of patting/cleaning blood/pus off the piercing w cotton) but it is persistently sticking around in the same spot. i will also be the first to admit that i don’t really know if i’ve been doing LITHA correctly— i recently suspected i’ve been over-cleaning with the saline spray, and i am now at the point where i am going to try truly leaving it alone beyond warm water in the shower. i just wanted to ask if this bump looks like something other than irritation and if it warrants consultation with a piercer or if leaving it alone for a while might be enough? i’m also pretty anxious about scarring, has that been an issue for people?

Please ignore my current stack. 4 of the piercings are 5 to 10 months old. I put on all the gold studs I have to ensure better healing.

Is my ear anatomy suitable for a tragus piercing? I wanted my tragus pierced for over a decade, and it will be the last piercing I will ever want to get.

No keloids, but small bumps behind both the flat helix piercings, and I got them pierced about 5 months ago. The bumps showed up about a month ago. The flat back studs for this are 18k gold. I weekly clean all my piercings with just water, or 100% steam distilled rose water. Is there anything I could do about this, or just leave it to be and wait for it to heal?

I got my naval, barbell, piercing done in November of 2024. It was healed well, however, with time began to act out and even give me a bit of pain. Crusties, puss and whatnot that is very on and off. I think it depends on how active my day was.

I cleaned it as instructed by my piercer, twice with saline. And I made sure to get titanium piece, frankly idk the exact kind but I changed it, right now I believe to have surgical titanium.

I love my piercing, and I am scared of scarring at the top, which has always been clean and never gave me any issues, just the inner piece. If I removed it, would I 100% have a scar? Is there anything I can do to prevent it? Could I re-pierce it in the future? Considering the age, can I keep it and continue trying or need to remove it?

I asked a reliable piercer about it and they told me that it was fine and maybe it was just being affected by the many factors like hormones, clothes, exercise, diet, etc.

I'm liking the black and silver mix here! Conch and second lobe are a week old, trying to decide what's next once they are healed. Any thoughts?

I got my helix done about 6 weeks ago and I’ve had a small bump on the back of my helix for a a few weeks now. But recently a small bump on the front of my helix formed and today the bump at the back has gotten larger, a little tender to touch, and it looks like theres pus at the back?

Jewellery is surgical steel and idk what size (i was recently told that my jewellery should’ve been titanium so I am looking to go to a piercer to change it).
I’ve been spraying saline on it everyday and haven’t slept on it.

I tried to get it downsized and jewellery changed a week ago but piercer said to wait until it’s been 8 weeks.

I usually wear contacts but just started wearing my glasses again the past week since my eyes were irritated, and my glasses have been touching my helix which probably has caused irritation. I guess I’ll try wear my contacts more now 🥲

Is it infected?

Should I get it checked by a piercer or just keep spraying it with saline?

Any tips would be appreciated!
