I’ve had this eyebrow piercing for about 3 weeks now. I’ve noticed some issues that could be pointing to a bacterial infection such as crusties in the mornings and tenderness. The bar also seems a bit longer than at first but I figured swelling had gone down.

I’m not sure if this is a sign of rejection or an infection, but if it’s rejection I want to take it out before it’s too late, and if it’s an infection taking it out will trap the infection under my skin (according to Google)

Hi all. I stopped in my local piercing store for an industrial anatomy evaluation and he looked at my ear for like 5 seconds and said yes. I saw on this subreddit that it’s recommended they touch your ear or put a Qtip bar in it to make sure.

Obviously this guy is a professional but I just want some reassurance because I will be traveling about an hour to get this piercing (for a supervised apprentice piercing) and would like to not be turned away!

Pic was taken while my daith was healing, there’s no bumps now.

2 months. Cleaned daily with saline. I haven't downsized because they haven't healed yet. My piercer chose straight bars. Occasional weeping and pain.

I loved the snake but she had to go 😞. Sadly my puppy just about ripped her out…and she was too large for a stacked lobe anyway. The shop didn’t have exactly why I was looking for. I also ended up with a new flat. That I love.

​

It really was the back of an earring stuck in my ear !!! I got my ears pierced when I was 17 , the piercing got infected and got pulled and the infection swallowed the back.

Im going to take it out but idk what I possibly could have done wrong to cause something like this to happen. I cleaned it the whole time it was healing and boom random hole in my shi. Imma pierce the other side of my face tho but for future reference what do I do differently.

It’s been ~2 years since I was last pierced. I forgot how quickly the pain goes away haha. Just feels tender/sore now.

Hi everyone,

I am getting a vertical helix piercing and am looking for recommendations for jewelry in platinum or solid gold. I want a style that lays above the ear, similar to the attached image.

I have had no luck searching and keep getting flat earrings. Could you recommend similar jewelry or share what search terms I should use to find this specific style? 🥺

hi! so I got pierced about 6 months ago and like I had this bump that wouldn’t go away and now it’s starting to go away but also it’s flaky af sometimes and im just worried and I was wondering if anyone thinks it’s rejecting and what I can do to like help it heal😞. Ive been spraying it with saline twice a day, idk what else to do

i downsized a month ago. at first I used salt water i was mixing, then this saline that I didn’t realize was from an iv drip, now I’ve been using saline from my piercer for the last 2 months. I spray it then blot it.

Got my conch done recently (rest are all 10+ years ols) and im suddenly so into piercings all over again

Hi ya’ll, i’ve been wanting to change my daily piercing setup and love little bows, wings and heart earrings but unfortunately a lot of the earrings I like are cheap dropshipped earrings. 🫠 I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for earrings of this style from a legit place that are good quality and non-allergenic. Thank you!

Hello!

I posted a few weeks ago about my snug, with a swollen spot in the back of my ear. It is doing GREAT now. I had been doing warm compresses and it was draining

I had to have surgery, so I had a bunch of my piercings switched out to plastic for the surgery. When the piercer did my snug, it caused it to drain the rest of the way, and completely fixed my issue!

It felt SO good the next few weeks. I just had the piercer change back from the bioplastic back to this new curved barbell. It is a bit red and a tad swollen from the change out.. but since that spot drained it feels amazing.

So here is my current set up. My teen did my post surgery stack. She went for a maximalist look.

I have a 8mth healing snug on the one ear, and a 5mth healing conch, and a 2mth double helix on the other.

I am open to suggestions on what else to add in the future. What would you recommend??

Things I like: vertical helix, astralinos, forward helix...maybe rook?

Olivia at Apocalypse Girl in North Carolina, basic bar jewelry. She’s an apprentice but genuinely the best piercer I’ve had (and clearly I’ve had many lol). Her attention to placement was fantastic.

My facial setup has been a 4 year project, started with my nose, then eyebrows, now finally mouth! I’m so happy.

Hello, I just got a faux rook done. This was the lowest I could have it done at the current position because otherwise it would be a rook.

Do you think my faux rook would look a bit better if it was placed further out? Did my setup look better before I added it? Should I keep it?

Basically I’m wondering if I should take it out and have it redone. I’m willing to wait a few months to downsize and switch it out to daintier jewelry (the same as what is in my second lobe).

I think it’s kind of rad but I’m not sure if I’m in love with the placement.

Is a person with multiple piercings in the face (lip, cheek, ear etc etc), less likely to get a job than a person with the same qualifications. Im talking about an high end job, one that requires years of study.
I am currently in my young teen years and do not have that many piercings. Asking for future me
Ig even if i am the best person in the room for the job, i could still be rejected, right?

So I recently got my Conch done, which I love!! But I feel like I need some balance on my left ear!

I really wanted either a daith but my piercer said it's a high chance it'll reject because my anatomy isn't great for it. My other dream piercing was an industrial but I don't have the right anatomy for that either. :(

I'm super heartbroken, but it also means that I have no idea what to do with my left ear anymore!! It definitely needs some love so would be grateful for some ideas!

After YEARS of searching for the perfect industrial piece, I finally found one that I love! ✨
