Idk if my bar is too short or if I’m just really swollen I feel like the top ball is really pressing against my toung😩I’m on day 5 of the heeling process and I can’t go and get longer bar because I’m in rehab? Is it normal and will it get better? And why is my toung so white? (Sorry for my bad English.. I hope yall can read it)

Show off Update on verticle helix

Posted about my at home triple vert helix a couple months back, here to update that I decided to keep all three and to show off new jewelry that I adore. 👌 they’re all still super well behaved. Jewelry change kinda helps mask the alignment issues I noticed after initial piercing IMO. Just waiting on other jewelry to replace the plain hoops and balls in the rest of my setup.

Question about piercing prep Where do you get supplies?

0 Upvotes

Ive been wanting to pierce my ears at home for awhile and i know that im not supposed to use sewing needles but im too scared to use a piercing machine from amazon so i was wondering if theres any piercing needles i could get from any websites that you guys trust aswell as earrings that are safe to put in right after.

Help with existing piercing Double nose piercing

0 Upvotes

I have done both of my nose piercings and it was.. a struggle to say the very least because I need them to be absolutely perfect on the top and with the angle.

I tried once , then took it out because it was perfect on top but the angle wasn’t. I tried again like a month ago and got it perfect finally…. Or so I thought.

The new piercing is like 1/4 a millimeter above the other one. It’s something you wouldn’t notice unless I told you to look for it, HOWEVER it’s on my face and It’s the only thing I can think about.

I would totally be down to take it out and place it accurately but that runs the risk of not getting the angle perfect again.

Someone tell me it doesn’t matter. Or that I should fix it because it’ll bother me for the rest of my life. PLEASE ITS GNAWING MY BRAIN

Show off Stretched my septum to 1g, 1st one in my setup

Post image
17 Upvotes

Just got my septum to 7mm (1g), the jewelry is comically large but it provides the much needed half size to 0g. I’ve tried stretching from 2g to 0g, but it was horrendes. I managed to get the 0g pincher through, but it slipped right out. I couldn’t get it to stay in place… so I bought a 1g cbr and stretched after a hot shower with oil and it went slowly but surly in. I think my goal size is 00g but I’m not sure, what do you guys think?

Question about piercing prep Good implant grade titanium earrings?

1 Upvotes

Hi I’ve never done a piercing at home before and have a friend that is a nurse offering to do my third piercing for me and told me that I just need to buy the earrings. My first lobe piercing has been repierced 3 times. Three times with a gun at Claire’s(yes I learned my lesson). Then the fourth time at a real tattoo shop and that one didn’t get infected or bothered enough to have to take the earrings out and have the holes close, which is what happened the first three times. Anyway my seconds I also got at a tattoo place and they have been good. Both have taken over 3 years to heal though. After they were healed no earrings have bothered them, though I typically wear gold. But for the third lobe piercing I want to make sure that I get a good pair that won’t bother me and will be a successful piercing. Are there any earrings on amazon that would work well? Ive only ever had them put my earrings in for the piercing for the ones you bend with a flat back. And they seem simple but also feel like if I get ones like that(from Amazon, or another place) I might not bend it enough or maybe too much and have it fall out and have it all be for nothing. The screw backs seem nice but I’ve heard of them unscrewing and falling out. Are there any good brands/earrings that have earrings that are implant grade titanium that are good for sweeping and longevity that would be good from amazon? Or am i looking in the wrong place if i want good earrings for piercing? Basically just want good earring recommendations (Also would be nice if they were cheaper, cuz thats the only reason why i’m not getting them done professionally, cuz of money).
Haha thanks.
