Done by a fantastic apprentice nearing the end of her apprenticeship. I previously had a christina and was super bummed to retire it, so I’m very pleased to have some stuff going on again :)

I know it's pretty ballsy to plan for this many piercings (especially since they'll all take many months to heal) but hey, it's something to look forward to 😅

Ps. these are just rough sketches of all the piercings I'm planning on getting and I still have to check if I have the right anatomy for some of them. I only have 4 lobe piercings atm

Update on my new setup. The only ones that i want to change now are my double tragus.

Overall a pretty buttoned up person and a corporate attorney but wanted to throw a bit of spice into my look. Already thinking about what to replace the small stud with!

I see a ton of helixes (a helix seems to be the ‘gateway’ cartilage ear piercing!) but far fewer flats.

Was just wondering why that might be? AFAIK helixes don’t heal any easier.

Is it maybe because lots of people want to wear hoops and you can’t wear one with a flat? A general aesthetic trend?

Interested to hear any thoughts 🙂

The greys are coming in 🙃

Feeling sad. I had to temporarily retire my daith over the weekend.

I had it pierced in February, with a 16gauge white gold piece. I questioned the clicker/hinge, but was told since the ring had a varying depth, the seam couldn't pass thru the piercing hole.

No major issues besides an irritation bump that lasted maybe all of a week. But then I started to feel like it was weighing heavy on the upper portion of my ear. I had it looked at several times by my pierced, reassured that everything was healing fine. But it still felt heavy, so in September we changed to a titanium CBR.

I feel like I might have waited too long to advocate for myself, because barely a month later it was starting to visable tear, and I had it taken out.

My piercer is confident that we can repierce in a few months after it heals, going with a bigger gage and larger diameter ring. But I'm still sad right now.

But then I'm also debating if this is just a sign to get my 3rds and conch done while I wait.

Pictures are from when it was first done, changed to CBR, and taken out.

I got my eyebrow pierced 5 days ago, the piercer messed up on the first attempt after the jewelry didn't follow through after the needle. So he re pierced through the same hole and got it on the second attempt. 2 days later I had to go back because the bar he used was too short so they swapped it out with a longer bar and now it seems a bit irritated. What would you guys suggest? Doesn't seem to be infected just irritated and swollen.

* titanium curve barbell

* I believe external threaded

*Hasn't been downsized, I had it up sized 2 days after pierced bc of swelling

* I spray twice a day with saline wash

I know my ear set up is pretty basic but I'm really happy with how it looks and all of my current jewelry pieces.

(I know that my forward helixes and daith are really irritated at the moment but the 3 of them are only about a month old at this time so I'm working on getting them under control.)

The piercer wasn’t able to put it through the first time so he repierced it and it ended up looking like this. Not sure if this will cause issues in the future too.

Hello guys how does my piercing look? I just downsized it and I am working really hard just to do the correct care and really make sure it doesn’t reject is it looking in good condition?

i really really want one but I’m scared I might not have enough of a “ridge” to pierce through which I read can lead to rejection. but also I feel like there is a decent amount of skin I can pinch.. the ridge looks small but I think it can be pierced like further back? idk. If I don’t have the anatomy what r some alternatives?

EDIT: I’ve gotten them pierced yesterday so swelling is still there

So my left nipple is rather asymmetrical/uneven (?), one side of it is slanted abit, whereas my right nipple is more even.

Just wanted to know if the placement for my left nipple actually correct and located at the base of the nipple? It’s abit difficult to tell due to the asymmetry and I’m afraid that it might’ve been pierced through my areola (but I don’t reallly think so)

Hey, I Need a Little help with my next piercings. On the left ear I have a Helix that I usually wear wird a Ring. I was thibking about a hidden helix and a conch or maybe triple mid helix on my right ear. But on the left I‘m Not sure. I love rook or a daith. Andy suggestions or ideas? :)

Hi!

I've had a septum piercing since 2020 that I absolutely love, it was done by a certified professional and I kinda had a tough time getting it to heal but ended up healing completely by 2021 and had no problems ever since.

I had to take the jewelry out of it two weeks ago because I had a rhinoplasty done. Before the procedure I asked my surgeon if it was feasible to keep it and he said he'd try, and after surgery he said he managed to not disturb it at all so I was hopeful I'd be able to put jewelry in again eventually but now I'm scared it may close while the tissue heals.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

Hi all! Went and decided to get my first piercing on Sunday, and I've been having some doubts. I really enjoy how my septum piercing looks on me, but I'm worried that the piercer might've missed the mark after I found that I'm not able to hide it in my nostrils. It might also be a little crooked! I've read that it should also be hugging the tip of my nose.

Looking for some general opinions before I consult a different piercer.

hi all,

got my floating navel over 2 years ago and it has never fully calmed down. every morning i wake up to sticky red/brown crust, and it leaks on and off all day so i'm cleaning it constantly. it also smells, which has made me weirdly self conscious around my boyfriend.

today i was swapping the jewelry and noticed a few things:
•the piercing looks really deep in my navel
•small black bump at the front
•the gem is crooked
•lots of darkening around the gem

pics attached. i really don't want to take it out because i'm scared of the scar, but i also can't keep doing this forever. is this migration, infection, bad jewelry, or all of the above? any advice appreciated

edits for mod:
it’s around 2 years old and the jewelry is implant grade titanium. it’s threaded gem and care routine is saline solution.

I got a side labret piercing done with a horseshoe-shaped ring (which I later learned wasn't the ideal choice). It swelled up significantly, so I went to a different professional to have it switched to a straight barbell.

The problem is, it’s crooked! Essentially, the piercing is positioned lower than usual (what’s known as a "low labret"), but the inner part—when I close my mouth—lightly touches the top of my lower teeth/the base of my upper teeth. My mouth is currently swollen, so it’s hard to tell if this is its permanent placement, but I’m certain it’s sitting at a diagonal. The question is: should I try to let it heal, given that the horseshoe (which i would use later) jewelry doesn't actually press against any of my teeth? Or should I just take it out? I don’t mind how it looks from the outside

Hi all!! So I got my daith pierced with a ring about 2 months ago, and it has been a rough journey. I originally got it to help with migraines, but I feel like it’s almost been more trouble than it’s worth. I’m not sure what the original size is, but I haven’t downsized at all. I’ve been getting a ton of piercing bumps, but I’ve been doing my best to wash it with saline/warm water in the shower, keeping it dry, and not laying on it (while I’m conscious), but I feel like it just hurts every other week. Is it infected, or can i just take it out and let the hole close up? Or is it worth it to take the journey to let it heal? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

My new vertical labret piercing has a bump and I feel like I’ve tried everything I’ve seen suggested on similar posts but it’s just getting bigger and worse! Would love some advice from a piercer if possible bc the one I went to in my town isn’t great. I leave it alone besides spraying saline piercing spray on it 1-2 times a day and gently removing the gunk.

- it was pierced mid-August 2026
- jewellery is titanium, externally threaded, barbell(?)
- I got it downsized two weeks later but a couple weeks after that I got a bump on my actual lip so I changed it to the longer bar and that one went away but there’s now one on my chin.

Is it because the bar is too long? I feel like I can’t downsize it again because there’s no room with the bump there.

And yes I know it’s slightly off centre 😭 TIA

Got my vertical labret about 6 weeks ago and had it downsized by the piercer (I believe she said it was 3/4??? Idk) does it look too low? I just put in an 8mm and it was too long. My lips crusty cuz I always pick at it lol. Anyway the bar that’s in the first picture is the one she gave me and it fits perfect —looking for advice for good jewelry recs and what size that’s smaller than 8mm would be recommended. Second photo is the new one that I hate lol

I got my eyebrow pierced last year in April and its been great in its initial healing until about early this year. It started getting super irritated randomly and then will be relatively okay again. Just now it got a little itchy and red and it's starting to sag alittle. I'm wondering if it'd be best to go back to my piercer to see what I can do/if its salvageable, or if it's time to take it out.
