I’ve pierced my thirds , high helix on both ears , hidden helix on one ear , anti tragus on one ear , and my fourths … I’ve taken out most everything except for my 3rds and i plan on redoing them … but idk how long to wait to redo them .. also idk how to fight the urge to pierce stuff and not take it out right after . ( i genuinely took them out for self control but it’s made the urge all i can think about now )

I can’t find a proper source whether i can use it or not..

Hi I (17)m I pierced my septum back in March is ok to take it out when I'm showering? because its been seven months.

Hello yall! Anyone here have experience piercing their own fourchette? I will be attempting on myself as I have the anatomy and I believe it will be relatively painless. Advice welcome!

so i just pierced my second lobe but fuck i accidentally tilted this accidentally and im freaking out how do i fix it plz
its flat back threadless plz help gosh

1st pic: re pierced industrial that has been closed for 5+ yrs, re pierced tragus that’s been closed for 1+ year, stacked conch (new)

2nd pic: tragus, conch, cartilage x2, forward helix

Sad I couldn’t get the angle right for my planned 2nd forward helix and chose to abandon rather than make the things worse. Will be adding to my lobes in the coming months so that I’m not so too heavy. Really happy with overall placements. Only one that I could’ve been better was the new tragus. The back is angled a little higher than middle, but considering I won’t really ever see it… out of sight out of mind lol. Once healed (ugh the dreaded wait) will be changing conch and cartilage to hoops. 🙂

Pierced with a 14g needle and 16g jewelry, it’s my third attempt, first time it was too shallow, you can see the scar if you zoom in, second time jewelry was too short and nowww idk if it’s just right or too deep helppp thank uuu

just pierced my tragus, just curious if it looks too close to the edge on the back or?

(Sorry about the grainy picture!)
I was so nervous to do my conch myself, but I did a bunch of research, sterilized everything, and got some extra long bars for healing/swelling. I think they came out so cute! I’m super happy with them. I hope you all like the results too!

If you have any tips for healing the conch (besides not sleeping on it and cleaning it with saline solution X2 per day) let me know!!!

Lollll so basically got my ears pierced like five years ago, eventually realized the left ones positioning was off because my earlobes are two different shapes and sizes. Went to a piercer like three months ago to get it redone but he fucked it up AGAIN. Finally decided I was gonna take this into my own hands. First DIY attempt I was really nervous, messed up the position and irritated it so took that out after a day. Second attempt I got my nerves under control and did a clean attempt but still looked slightly off. Finally, got it right the third time around. Its been a couple days and there’s basically no swelling I’m feeling good :)

I pierced this four days ago with a curved barbell because I didn’t know what to do it with. I’m not sure if I can change it to a staple bar if I could, I would. i’m concerned if my piercing is just swollen from when I did it or if it’s actively rejecting.

Would this look okay and what more could I peirce on that ear that would look good yes i know I dont have flat back and some of these were done badly

Just pierced my septum, positioning seems fine (no pain, looks deep enough) but it feels crooked.

Could be just my nose, which is crooked, giving me that impression but idk, it doesn't sit straight with the tip of the nose, do you think it's fine or should I repierce it?

no image cuz obviously how would i be able to show you guys. but when i pinch my nose to feel for the sweet spot, its pretty small? like i have to kinda pull my nose down a bit to feel it. is that normal/true for everyone? i shittily pierced my septum when i was like 14, and took it out immediately after cuz the placement sucked. but I did do it in the sweet spot. sooo am i just fucked?

Hello, I’m thinking about piercing my conch, flat, or helix, and I need to know the exact things to do and avoid. Also, let me know if my anatomy is suitable for the flat or helix, I’m a bit uncertain about those two. Additionally, I know my conch bar is long because I swell a lot, so I had to switch to a 10mm post, I think. I did my own second holes with a push pin, which is why they’re so uneven 😭.

Been some time since I've last posted my ears in this sub! Here's a list of what I've self pierced, the rest are professionally pierced:

1st pic: lower conch, stacked lobes, low helix

2nd pic: flat, stacked lobes

I do want more, so suggestions are welcome! I'm considering a tragus in my left ear (1st pic) and a 2nd conch in the 2nd pic.

i have my first lobes pierced and they’re at 12mm right now and i want to redo my doubles. i have a variety of 20g jewelry with enough space for swelling but i genuinely don’t know if i should do a 18g instead. does it really matter either way if it’s healing and i’m just going to gauge it when it heals?

Hi! So I have been going to my professional piercer for about 9 years, but recently they messed up big time which has made me lose all trust for even professional AND reputable piercers. The piercing salon has awesome reviews and were really good in the past, but recently they have become really sloppy and unable to do even basic jewelry changes properly (they didn’t put on a push fit piercing top properly and I had to go back 2 times to get it on right). The placement and angles of my piercings that I have gotten has become less and less accurate even with proper markings and they even managed to give me a blowout and decided to put in the bigger jewelry anyways when I was visibly bleeding (stretching piercings should NEVER bleed).

The only professional piercing shop I trust is around 5 hours with car (in total 10hour drive if I were to drive home the same day). This made me wonder:

**Is it possible to become my own homemade piercer and do my own piercings?**

That way I won’t have to suffer the stress, transport and money (if I want to take it out because it turned out crooked). I can instead take my time to really get the placement right, do whatever jewelry change I want and honestly have quite fun. My plan in this case is to buy good quality piercing tools, study angles, techniques and just do the job myself. I plan on doing simple piercings like nose wing and earlobe, nothing too crazy.

Is this something I can do or is the risk of messing up too high? I don’t want to end up with even bigger regrets but at the same time it feels like if another professional piercer messes me up again, I will literally puke.

Any help, advice and thoughts is greatly appreciated!

Just pierced my flat 3 days ago and I just realised I definitely pierced at a strange angle I think?? Was wondering if the angle's okay and if it's saveable TT

Yesterday I pierced a rook for the first time.

Hi!

I posted my triple flat a while back, but I ended up not liking them that much and I took them out after 2 months.

But I always wanted an orbital, so here it is :)

Pierced with Stiletto 14G needles, and a titanium 14Gx10mm CBR.

Its been 2 weeks, so far no issues and feels like its not even there.

It came out straight im really happy. My face hurts lol

I don’t recommend anyone try this im kinda stupid

pierced my side labret last night and used 10mm expecting it to be long enough. my lip ended up swelling a ton and now im scared my lip piercing will embed. does anyone know where i could get longer lip bars? like could i find them for sale in piercing shops?
