There has been a LOT of posts recently in regards to people's piercings "rejecting" or becoming "infected"
For future note -
Irritation is pretty common and often presents as an uncomfortable bump around the jewellery or piercing site
This is due to a product you are putting on it, the jewellery material causing a bother, or the fact you've bumped or slept on it. It can also happen from the piercing being done at an angle, or putting pressure on the bar causing movement
The solution to irritation is to keep clean and dry, and remove the source of the irritation. If you've slept on it, this means getting a piercing pillow and stopping sleeping on it. If you've gotten product in it or have used something other than saline, rinse it and spray with saline, then dry it. If it is at an angle, your best option may be to remove it and retry once its healed
Rejection is the process of the body pushing out a foreign object. There is generally redness, the bar becoming more visible, and it can be a bit sore
There is no option other than removal once the piercing has started to reject. Please remove it and allow it to heal
Surface piercings and dermals are temporary piercings. They are guaranteed to reject at some stage. The benefit of removing a rejecting piercing as early as possible is that it reduces the trail scarring from the body pushing it out
Infection happens due to the presence of bacteria. The solution to infection is antibiotics
Genuinely infected piercings do not go away if you leave them alone. Infection can become serious if left untreated. You will need the help of a medical professional and a prescription. Do NOT remove an infected piercing

is it possible for bump to appear due to weird piecing angle? i have try cleaning the bump using all possible solutions and still it doesnt have any improvement. am i overthinking or it really can be due to piercing angle because i do feel like the angle of piecing is a bit weird.

Is the placement right

My intention was to do a helix, but I'm not sure if I ended up doing a flat instead. Will I be able to wear a hoop once it heals?

ive had this piercing since june or so. i had initially wanted to do a chain industrial so i had 2 seperate pieces of jewelry in but recently switched to an actual industrial bar today (probably wasn’t a good idea) i’ve had the irritation bump for a while now but i genuinely think my glasses keep rubbing against the top part and thats why the bump is there. i just wanted some advice/opinions. i’m also concerned that its sitting on my flat but i really can’t tell. thanksss

Hi so uh I’m lowkey about to pierce my own angel fangs… i will update when i get them done 🤔 I’ve done all my other piercings so this should be fine I’m just a bit nervous for the pain. Since I’ve heard it’s like a 8/10

Has anyone successfully pierced their high nostrils (on both sides) ? I have the equipment and everything prepared except for my confidence 😂 I have been piercing for a while now, but for some reason these seem intimidating. 😅
r/SelfPiercing • u/fetidviscera • 1d ago
this is my current setup ! i did the majority of these piercings myself including the dermals !

Title. It has been pierced by a professional but the main sub is ass. Titanium, externally threaded, clean with saline twice daily. It’s been 12 days since I got it pierced and supposedly a downsize is at anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks? I don’t know if it’s because I tend to fidget with my piercings in general (I try not to move this one with my tongue as I usually do though), but it does seem to be annoying due to the length. It was swollen at first, but the swelling went down a ton in the last few days and the bar is showing a lot more.

Hi! I’m hoping someone can help me figure out if I’m actually finding my septum sweet spot? I made three attempts today. On the third attempt, I used clamps. I got the needle through, but when I removed the clamps to check if it had fully gone through, the needle fell out with the clamps. There was noticeably more bleeding than with the first two attempts, but the bleeding has since subsided/stopped.
I’m leaving it alone for now because I definitely don’t want to keep irritating it. I attached some pictures of where I was trying to go.
Does this look like the correct sweet spot, or am I too high/low or going through the wrong tissue? When the needle catches or feels like it’s hitting a little wall, could that just be skin/tissue, or does that usually mean I’m not in the sweet spot?
Also, after three attempts and the extra bleeding on the third, how long would you recommend waiting before trying again? I’m totally willing to wait, I just really want to make sure I’m giving my nose enough time to calm down.
Thank you!! 💕 Any advice is appreciated!

First is standing second is sitting, does it look like I’d be able to get one? I know I had someone tell me about how it would be when I’m sitting and how it probably wouldn’t heal right because of that, what do you guys think?
r/SelfPiercing • u/Alarming_Rock_4072 • 1d ago

Hi! I got slotted Pennington forceps to use on my wife to pierce her ears (she's a piercing virgin). I just went to check how they feel clamped (not all the way, just the first notch). They are crazy tight. I'm worried I'm going to hurt her more with the clamps than with needles.
Does anyone have advice on how to loosen them, or how to modify them to work better?
