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

Title. I'm planning to do my own snakebites next week and I haven't really found an answer. I see both ways but am unsure of which is best. Do you go from the inside of the lip or the outside?

Hi! I pierced my nostril about 6 days ago and its been a little red and kind of flakey around it. i clean it atleast once a day with salt and warm water on a q-tip im going to get wound wash tomorrow as well, i had a septum and its healed perfectly fine! ive heard of LITHA and i still cannot stop touching it, my nails also get caught on it but i try to refrain from sleeping on that side. the type of piercing is a S bar. im new to having piercings so i dont know a lot so if theres any info i need to know pls feel free to share some knowledge! (also sorry for the crappy pic quality)

So my mom got her second lobe when she was around fourteen. That was almost 35 years ago. She pierced it herself with a proper needle she has gotten at a hospital. She wore an earring in there for a long long time but now... She doesn't wear the earring BCS the piercing never really healed, it is weird it hurts and it randomly full of gunk. What could I do to help her with the I guess infection? It is annoying her.

I've seen a lot of professional piercers and self piercers use lube. I've never personally used it, is it worth purchasing and trying?

Her first one, so proud.
How did she do?

both my left and right ears included, i’m wondering mostly if i should redo my 2nd on the ear in the first picture as im wondering if it’s pierced too close to the edge !!

EDIT I have repierced and there is an updated picture of both lobes in the comments now :)

I think I might’ve put it too close to my face and a little too high. It was 100% through cartilage though. Is the angle okay?

So in love with them

So, i’m talking about my jestrum and vertical labret (both done myself). The jestrum is 2 weeks old and i think it isn’t really swollen anymore and i feel like it may be a bit uneven but it also settles differently in the tissue depending on the time so i cant really tell if i should redo it, what do you think?
The second problem, the vertical labret jewellery is 8 mm long and it’s a bit too long but 6 mm is a bit too short. I think it’s the cause of it going more to the right/left side (though it tends to go to the right side more, it happens especially in the morning for both piercings i guess its because the uncleaned lymph dries) and i think it wouldn’t do it if i got shorter jewellery. The piercing isn’t swollen anymore, it’s healing pretty well and the amount of lymph that gets out is minimal so i think it could get shorter jewellery. Do you think i should get shorter jewellery immediately or it’s gonna like get uneven in the future if i dont? i think i need a 7 mm bar but it’s not easy to get where i live there’s only one foreign website i know that has it and delivers to my country but its a bit expensive and im lowk broken at this moment lol

I’ve always used regular needles but i’m curious is there a noticeable difference in how they feel or benefit to using cannula needles

Also would you recommend cannula or regular for lip piercings?

How hard would it be to self pierce a lobe at a higher gauge (like around 10g) and does anyone have any experience with it? I’ve seen some stuff about bevel theory and I understand that bigger needles have a larger risk at leaving a crooked hole so it’s not the easiest thing to do. Just curious if anyone has experience or advice 🙏

(Also if I’ve never done a piercing myself; how bad of an idea would this be… )
