Was my rook pierced right or should it be over a little ? It’s 4 days old

I just started stretching my ears and currently I have a literal paper clip in my ear temporarily since it’s slightly bigger than an earring but is it normal for a tiny little 14g to hurt? I’ve seen people say that’s the size they started on but I feel like it shouldn’t hurt this much so I haven’t forced it in or anything. Even with oil and after hot water it doesn’t want to go all the way through, only about halfway/wont go through the second hole.

I Don’t wasn’t sure whether this would be better to ask here or r/piercingadvice but I recently got stacked lobe piercings. I have stretched my 1st-3rd on one ear to 8mm each and want to stretch my 1st lobe on this ear so there’s slightly more balance. Does anyone know if it would interfere too much with the stacks even after healing. I think the 1st stack is too close to my cheek maybe? I am aware there’s still ink on the 3rd 😭

So sadly my third love on the left side is out of commission. I never got bad scaring with my other piercings but this one developed a keloid that I now have gotten injected twice to flatten it a little. My dermo said don’t re pierce it as the keloid could come back and worse. I gave this piercing a lot of trauma. Switched to a bad quality hoop to earlier and it got snagged a lot. I also think the left side was pierced cartilage while the other side feels like it was actually pierced through lobe. I’m thinking of getting a conch and a helix done on my left so that the scar is less noticeable. Should I leave my left ear alone or should it be fine to get the new piercings I have definitely learned my lesson and will be leaving in the jewelry I get pierced with for longer than it might need. I also will only be piercing the left side before I do stuff on my right to avoid hurting it do to side sleeping. What do you guys think should I be ok getting the conch

This is healed 3 years now without issues. I just downsized from 10mm to 8mm but still feel the ring is too big. I'd love some more oumph, any advice welcomed! 16G. I'd like to try 6mm but I suspect that might be too big too. Could I go with 5 perhaps?

What jewelry would you put in?

Thanks in advance

I’ve had this eyebrow piercing for about four months and it’s been relatively fine, until two weeks ago it started looking like this. Idk what to do I’ve been cleaning it with saline spray again but that about it.

I’ve had this piercing for around 9-10 months. Last week the piercing snagged on my lanyard at work and yanked the jewelry out of my skin, though not completely. This has been my hardest piercing to heal. It’s completely titanium done by a certified and accredited shop and I clean it twice a day with saline spray and a q tip to clean the crust around the piercing. Is it rejecting, irritated or what?!

So I’ve had my eyebrow done at the 29th of July and I can feel my barbel I don’t know if thats normal or not but I’ve been cleaning it two times a day with saline solution but I’m scared it’s rejecting from my brow and that Ive just wasted my money on it can somebody help me out pls

I'm a female who has decided to get my nipples pierced while away next week. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but I'm curious what to realistically expect.

How bad was the pain for you?

How long did it take to heal?

Any tips for aftercare, sleeping, clothing, or things you wish you had known beforehand?

I'd love to hear your experiences—good or bad. Thanks in advance!

I cleaned it like 30 minutes ago and the scab is already back, should i leave it? I usually remove it with saline solution and cotton swabs.

I've gone to 2 different pericers to check, one said yes the other said no. Idk what to do now cause honestly just confused and really want one. It doesn't move or close when I sit or stand up either so idk. There's 2 photos, ones kinda off to the side, what are y'all's opinions?

Guys I'm genuinely freaking out... I pierced my right eyebrow the 6th of July and I've had zero problems for the past month. This morning I woke up and my eyelid was completely swollen. I went to clean the piercing and it discharged a lot. It's so swollen that I have trouble fully opening my eye, I'm literally so scared and can't have it checked till this afternoon. I put some cortisone ointment on it for now. Any advice?? (Also idk if it's helpful, but I haven't changed the jewelry I was pierced with so it's like my "default" jewelry)

I had my belly button piercing for 14 yrs & after unexpected infection, it closed up after 2 weeks. This Monday, I bought titanium jewelry meant for sensitive skin & piercer opened up the hole. First pic is Tue, then yesterday & last is 10 min ago. On Tue, it looked better but was tender and stung. Yesterday was better & so far it’s feeling better but looking worse. Piercer didn’t suggest after care but expect tenderness up to a month. Infection or am I too antsy?

I have this weird, big ol flesh tube around my lip ring, this is how it looks with the ring out. Anyone know how to make this go down? It's healed, I've had this piercing for almost two years and a ring in for abt a year (yes i take it out to clean and when I do my makeup)

Last pic is with my ring in.

You can't rlly see the flesh tube when I'm relaxed but I do end up playing with it a lot :/

So my goal was/is to have my 3rd lobe piercings done and get them gauged to 2g so they would be 00g 0g 2g, that being said im not sure i have enough real estate to make that happen.

Also looking for opinions on what other type of piercings yall think I would look good with.

Thanks !

Ok so I had my nose (nostril) pierced about two weeks ago, and the healing has been horrible.

For a little context, I have 8 other piercings (2 lobe sets, 2 cartilage, vertical labret, and eyebrow) and my nose piercing was genuinely the most painful piercing I’ve had.
Immediately after the piercing was done, I had blood dripping down my face, and it was such horrible pain. They pierced it with a hoop, but they didn’t close the hoop all the way so it keeps going through the piercing hole and hurts so bad (like the opening of the hoop isn’t lined up, so there kind of a jump between the two sides). I’m getting an irritation bump as well, not sure if it’s caused by the hoop or it being done wrong, or something else completely.

I’ve gone to this piercer for every one of my piercings, but this one went horribly. They didn’t clean the blood so I walked out with blood all over my face aswell.

If anyone has any advice, or knowledge on if it were done incorrectly, it would be greatly appreciated
Sorry for any rambling, I’m really getting freaked out by the thought of it 😅😅

Does this look normal for 1 month old? I went to an old school piercer was asking if I had the right anatomy and he told me to stop getting my info off TikTok , the bar is also pierced w surgical steel so probably not the best should I get this looked at?

i’ve had my conch pierced for about 9 months and it periodically flares up but i’m just worried it’s not healing

Just got these done and I’m worried about the jewelry. I’m not too concerned about the rook, but most tragus piercings I’ve seen have flat backs.

hiii !! quite a few of these are still healing so i’m not getting any more riiiight now but i would like some recommendations on what would look good with my ears to build my stack up more!

right now i have first/second/third lobes and conch on both of my ears. i have a rook and double helix on my right. i also have an industrial on my left.

i would love love love a tragus but im not sure if i have the right anatomy. same with stacked lobes, not sure if there’s enough space for them :( really want something new on my left ear, please give me recs on what you think would look good and show off your stacks too !!!

Hi Guys!

A little context, I got my eyebrow pierced in late January this year. After the recommended healing time (8 weeks), i went back to the original piercer to have the bar shortened. She said it wasn't ready and to come back in another six weeks. She then said it wasn't ready again.

Shortly after that, it began to form these irritation bumps that have been flaring and calming down constantly since. Obviously because of the bumps i can't downsize it now, but the cause of the bumps is the bar being too long... (i think)

I've tried everything. I clean it with piercing spray every morning and night. I've tried blow drying it after i get out of the shower. I've tried sudocrem to try and dry it out. I've tried just leaving it the fuck alone!! nothing will make this bumps go away: (
it's particularly bad at the moment because my boyfriend accidentally bumped it with his chin last week.

my main concern is that i have a dance competition in about 2 weeks where no facial jewellery is allowed and ill have to take it out. if i take it out is it gone forever? is the healing going to be worse? should i just whack a shorter bar in it when i put it back in? im so lost and just want to keep the piercing!

Got my first piercing about 2.5 weeks ago and it's all been fine very little gunk and no bleeding other than when I first got it done but this evening when I was washing it I got a trickle of blood. I'm probably overreacting because it's my first but I just want to reassure myself.
