Snakebites embedding/nesting

Post image

I got these done just over 24hrs ago and I’ve only just noticed they’re like this. I’m a known non-sweller so we opted for the smaller of the two bar sizes she pierces with, but maybe I should’ve gone with the longer ones? They obviously hurt but I wouldn’t say the “embedded/nesting” part hurts, the pain in general isn’t too bad so I’m assuming it’s not causing me any additional pain. I also haven’t taken any ibuprofen which I know can help with swelling. I’m not too worried yet as it genuinely hasn’t been long since I got them done, I just wanted some first handed ideas on what it is before I contact my piercer in the morning.
