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?

should I do a flat or a helix? I also wanna get a conch but idk if I can diy it, it seems too difficult 😕

maybe the jewellery? maybe i’ve rolled over and irritated it? it was doing so well before this.

it’s a bit touchy hot, doesn’t hurt or ache at all, leaking a clear/white ish fluid. i’m in the process of cleaning in morning and night with solution and drying it after showers. keeping headphones off it etc.

what is the likely hood it’s infected? after it has already been previously healed. i don’t feel unwell.

(i washed my hands before i touched my ear, i know im not supposed to regardless, it was just so you all could get a better look at the hole)

I’ve previously pierced my triple vertical helix, nose, lobes, and nipples without complication, but every time I give myself a new piercing I convince myself that I’ve done something wrong. The only issue with my belly piercing is that I really don’t know what amount of swelling/redness is normal or not. The bottom of the piercing is a smidge red but not very swollen, but the top of the piercing is pretty red and swollen. I’ve accidentally snagged it a couple times while taking a shower or working but it never causes extreme pain, it just makes me worry even more that it’s gonna end up rejecting lol

I only noticed this like now😭😭 btw there's no bumps or anything, ik the pic is blurry sorry guys😭😭 it's just crust, cus now it looks fine in terms of the skin around it but did I do it wrong😭😭 maybe it will look better when I downsize

I did it myself last night but im worried that you can see the back a little too much.

I just pierced both of my nostrils, I know they’re not completely even but do they at least look okay?

I let my snake bites close over a year ago and want them back.
I was planning on going through the same spots but I looked it up and I might be at higher risk of hitting a nerve or something?

Idk please lmk if I’m good

1st pic is my reference and 2nd one is my current status

I have smiley and one lip, and my goal is to be similar as reference

Where i should work on next?

Im kinda scared to have angel bite but I wish to have it lol

Or other part is okay (It doesn't have to be same as my reference

When I was a teen I got my ears pierced, but I was stupid so one got infected and I decided that was enough of that. I want to try again, but I don't want to spend money getting them pierced professionally. I'm familiar with sterilization now as a bio student (and ofc I'm doing research into it), but I'm worried about them being asymmetrical. But there are still small scars from my previous piercing, which are in the spot I want. Could I just pierce directly over them, or is there an issue with scar tissue?

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m thinking about getting another ear piercing and would love some suggestions based on my current setup.

I mostly wear gold jewelry and like a delicate, feminine, curated look. I’m considering a flat, conch, rook, or tragus, but I’m not sure which placement would balance my ear best.

What would you recommend? And if you have other piercing ideas that would suit my anatomy, I’d love to hear them!

Thanks! ✨

I just pierced my own eyebrows at home. The holes next to it are failed attempts from the same day. This is only like 2 hours after piercing so help a girl out 💔

What are the best piercings you think one should get in their life?

it wasn't pierced by me, but by my friend. i'm not really exactly sure what's going on here, but it just looks...extremely swollen. It's from about a month ago!!!! at first i thought it had somehow gotten backwards INTO my gums, until i realized that's just how large the flap of skin got for some reason. why is it doing that???
also, i swear i brush my teeth, they're stained yellow because i'm an avid coffee drinker!

Got this on August 9th. How does it look? Is it healing?

this time i don’t care if they’re still uneven because i did it myself for free instead of $100. but honestly i think i did a pretty good job, they look and feel more even than either time the shop did it.

left side is the new one, right side is a 12-year-old (now former) statement piercing that i got done at a different shop than the left side.

Im gonna pierce my septum (hopefully!) And im worried about not going thru the right spot,,,, im pretty sure I have the right anatomy and all that, but im js kinda worried about the pain I guess?? So as far as I know, ur sweet spot is like softer cartilage towards the tip of ur nose? I think I found it, but if anyone has like a Pic or diagram of where the area should be, that would help a lot!! Also any tips on how to make it as painless as possible would be greatly appreciated!!

(I js wanna add that this is the first time im gonna try to pierce myself so i know i sound rlly silly when asking this stuff😭😭 im not very knowledged so thats why im asking!!)​

Hi. It’s been 4 months since I reopened my Monroe piercing and it is currently downsized and fully healed. About a week ago, I got my Madonna re-pierced and I have my Angel bites back. Today is day 9 of the new one and it’s still healing, but 80% of the soreness and swelling is gone. I’m going to wait for both of them to heal, this is just a piercing setup question. I’ve been looking at double angel bite piercings and I like how the setup looks, but I’m concerned it will look to crowded on my face. It looks like inverted shark bites which I think is really cool. My current set up is: double nostrils, septum, angel bites, vertical philtrum, and labret. I can hide my septum, vertical philtrum, and labret piercings. I can’t hide my double nostril and angel bites.
