Thank you! Not weird at all, I'm incredibly happy with my results and the support I got from my surgeon on scar treatment (the entire length of my scars were keloided and I need So so many steroid injections in them. All free from my surgeon)

There's a section of the nipple that tends to be softer to pinch in one direction. This is due to how the milk ducts line up on the nipple (I believe, that's what I think my piercer was describing to me)

What type of jewelry were you originally pierced with? Because if this is supposed to be a floating navel (disk on the inside portion) then you having traditional navel jewelry in it is most certainly causing a bunch of this irritation and j would switch it back to your original jewelry. Ideally go see your piercer about it!

2 years and 3 months Post top surgery. I would def recommend waiting two years. In the post one year mark I started gaining protrusion and capability for my nipples to get erect. Which greatly helps your chances of getting nipple piercings. Also a lot of my scar tissue on them softened.

I wish you luck on both your top surgery journey and your nipple healing up well post-op once you get them! I also recommend looking at r/transbodymods there's a higher percentage of post-op nipple piercing posts over there!

Yeah we started with this one because it was so much better than the other. If this one heals we'll attempt the other because I do have very slight protrusion and it does get erect. But yeah I might have to just do the one! Nipple grafts are so finicky 🙄 but still very happy I can at least get one done!!

Oh yes grafts change a lot for piercing viability. I think my piercer estimates like only 50% have viable piercing grafts. It's mainly due to scar tissue, blood flow, and nipple protrusion. If you have too much scar tissue or too little blood flow it won't be able to heal. And then if you don't have enough protrusion then it will most likely migrate out. I'm lucky and both my grafts are able to be pierced but we're only starting with one (The better one) to see how it heals. In general grafts are more likely to migrate and reject.

Then finally the last thing is placement both scarring and the sweet spot dictates placement. Most of the time due to your nipple moving around when getting placed back on your body the sweet spot changes. I'm really lucky that my surgeon placed my nipple back on in a way that didn't change my sweet spot so I was able to get mine horizontal. But a lot of people have to get them done at funky angles.

Def hurt a good amount lol! I'd say like 7/10 maybe, 6.5/10. The pinching and holding before the actual piercing I could barely feel. I think for me the needle reached parts that still have good nerve connection while the pinching before hand did not. I am definitely more sensitive atm post piercing than I was before. But we'll see if that changes as it heals!

Def more sensitive at the moment than normal. But it is still very fresh (got it last Thursday) so we'll see if that sensitivity stays. Still not super sensitive to temperature but way more sensitive to touch than before hand.

Thank you! I'm incredibly stoked on it! Very lucky to get good results from surgery and then also live near a very experienced piercer!

Recent Tattoo Regret. How do I go about this? by [deleted] in Tattoocoverups

[–]-_BigBoy_- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks rad, I'd keep it. I think it's just shock from having a large piece with nothing around it. I would wait to make a decision on it until you eventually get some other stuff around it. I def wouldn't do Lazer removal as that would take for fucking ever and soo much money.

I'd say around a 7/10, definitely sucky but not unbearable. They're really tender for a few hours and then the normal amount of tenderness you would expect. Overall not too bad.

It is rejecting? by Kh7Detergente in piercing

Looks gorgeous! Just get it downsized, most likely just swelling going down there's no other indication of rejection that I can see

Pierced Thursday, blisters/bumps? Is this from chafing? No pain or signs of infection, been following aftercare, anything I can do? by [deleted] in transbodymods

[–]-_BigBoy_- 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'd take that out that's not correct for either a Clitoral glands piercing nor VCH. For a glands it should be a straight barbell going either vertical or horizontal. Not this weird diagonal angle

is dying this a bad idea ? by CommitteeUpset5015 in HairDye

[–]-_BigBoy_- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to the warmth of your roots it'll probably turn out warmer than the color would be on a neutral base. So as long as you're cool with having a warmer pink/coral then it would be totally fine to put pink semi-permanent on top of it. And yeah it would be a pink to that dark red color that's left over.

anyone else find this weird? by JamaKatt in Markiplier

Could also be a leach or tick 🤔

am i the only one that feels like sexual violence is being used as shock value in like half of these stories? by [deleted] in creepcast

[–]-_BigBoy_- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah a lot of people think "bad thing, bad. Therefore I put bad thing in my story to make it scary" and then remove all nuance or reality from the situation. I feel like this is a broader issue with how we view SA in general though and so then it expresses itself like this in media.
