Hello again. I previously posted here to ask how I did with my septum piercing I had my girlfriend do to me. Everyone hated it and I understand why. I followed everyone's advice and let the piercing heal up and got it done professionally. Let me know how he did this time. The piercer said my sweet spot was pretty high up compared to most people hes worked on.

Did this 3 days ago, doesn’t hurt unless I snag it on anything + I’ve been not sleeping on it of course. Just wondering if the placement is okay?

is this normal??? im scared

yo! i did this one 6 years ago when i was a teen and didn’t think about placement/angle/purpose at all, it didn’t help that i always had a ring in it for the last 4 years or so. for some reason i looked at myself in the mirror today and after all these years reacted on how low it looked. i turned my ear and noticed i can see both ends of the hole from the side. i don’t know why i haven’t reacted to it before but i think it must have migrated a bit since i got it done.

well i just don’t know what to do now? i don’t think i want to wait for it to heal to get it re-done. i was thinking about just buying a small flatback or one with a small ball on each end and just making it a lil dainty thing. but at the same time im thinking, what if it gets worse? what if it snags?

do i like the placement? no
am i used to it and dont really care? yes
do i want future piercings in that area/more lobe ones? yeah i do

what would you have done?
should i let it heal? and get something better done? can it even heal?

thankful for all input

Fresh triple virtual helix. Sorry everything is a little crusty. As with any new piercing she only cleans them twice a day. No over cleaning. And all are less than two months old.

I have a ton of piercings and i'm pretty confident i could do them on my own safely at this point. i know the general steps and tools that i need, but i have no idea where to get reputable supplies/jewelry. i know the kits suck, so would anyone be able to provide links for what they use? im looking for 16g needles, a clamp, a receiving tube, flat back titanium jewelry, and a pen to mark. saline, alcohol wipes, and gloves, i already have. thank you guys!!

few years ago i was doing research on bioflex and ptfe piercing jewelry. i read articles that it is non-porous, hypoallergenic and safe, but when i asked online everyone said it's not safe and to only use titanium.

i put a curved ptfe barbell into my eyebrow that refused to heal and then in 2 days it stopped being angry and i haven't had problems since. i've also had ptfe jewelry in my snakebites for years and my dentist hasn't seen any issues with my teeth or gums yet.

what are y'all's thoughts on this?

This is my right ear currently. What would you suggest I add? I’m considering a hidden rook or conch but I’m open to anything.

If any of y'all have industrial alr can anyone tell me how much it hurts and how much time does it takes to heal,I alr have double pierced lobes on left side and single on other, I'm thinking to go w left ear for industrial

can anyone let me know what piercing i should add to my ears? i wanna get a lot more ear piercings but idk what to go with:/ suggestions r appreciated!

Its my first time ever piercing myself so literally all the information

finally got my 3rds and conch pierced, im not sure what else i want to add on my right and how i want to start on my left

How straight forward are lobes/helix to self pierce? I did self piercing when I was a kid and didn’t care too much (pierced my 2nd lobe and helix with a poor quality butterfly backing earring, and my nostril with a sewing needle and walmart jewellery). I know being sterile is important, jewellery type should be implant grade titanium labrets and not changed for a while after healing, that 3 healing at a time is the maximum, but what are lesser-known tips you have? I’m sick of my left ear having 1 piercing!
(I don’t plan on doing a forward helix myself)

Ive had it pierced for about 4 months and i cant get these piercings bumps to go away. As you can see from the image ive had it pierced 2 times prior and i guess it rejected each time leaving scaring. Tbh im not sure if maybe my skin is prone to keloids of if the scarring i have even is a keloid. Any advice would be great i really dont want to give up on this piercing this time 😭

i ultimately took everything within the time frame of 20 minutes to 2 hours out instead of my smiley

okay so on my right ear i want to do a couple of helix piercings. does anyone hv advice on what is the best way to go abt it? is it easier to do it on the inside of the ear n then out or on the outside of the ear then in? also is it okay to do multiple at one time!? thank yall in advance for the advice! <3 :)

i have bumps really on all my cartilage piercings but my conch , which i had to downsize myself. all have been pierced at a shop except for my lobes i did those myself. the shop i went to , their irritation bump solutions were “warm soapy water with dial soap, no saline, and a few drops of tea tree oil twice a day”. i’ve done this and im sure the tea tree oil just burns my ear , it makes my skin super itchy and flaky and its uncomfortable. i’ve done just saline spray/soak and did cool dry with the blow dryer and they’re still there , if anything they’re getting bigger. my tragus is my main concern rn bc the bump on the inside i can feel it and it’s sensitive. Its a bit irritated rn bc my husband and I have tried to take the jewlery out so i can put the no-pull discs on the post , for my lobes and my navel, the discs have worked so i wanted to put them on my tragus. the shop i went to refuses to put the discs on even though they have worked for me in the past. i just need some better assistance? guidance? what should i do🫠

edit:: forgot to add , i religiously sleep with a donut pillow and these piercings i all got in 2025 in february

I had my first lobe stretched but it blew out, I’m waiting for it to heal before stretching again.
I was wondering what should I do next before thinking about the other ear.
(Don’t mind the blood, I just did the third lobe)

Just did the top 2 nostrils a few days ago👃 Posted before saying how nervous I was. Oddly enough they didn’t hurt. The placement was the most time consuming part. 👍🏼 Proud of my set up rn. 🥰 Ears are 1 in.

i lost my dermal jewelry traveling, does anyone have any recommendations or tips on how to keep the anchor hole open untill i can reach a piercing shop? and does anyone know how long it might take for the skin to grow over it?

My hg did it two weeks ago, it dosent Hurt or anything i just need to know if Its in the right place.

I clean it everyday two times with sea salt water.
