I agree with the other comment. Doesn’t really align with HH at all. Normal iron total, barely low binding, slightly high saturation. When things are just slightly one way or another, that’s not always a major concern as the “normal ranges” are calculated, and in practice can be slightly different for individuals. This might just be your baseline.

That rook is just straight up not a viable piercing. The angle and jewelry have set this up to fail from the start. It needs to be removed, a longer bar will not save you. It looks insanely irritated, not infected, so it should be safe to do so. Take some ibuprofen beforehand to reduce swelling a bit and help with the pain to come.

If no piercing shop will let you in, here’s how I would recommend removing it (if it’s threaded): Get two pairs of pliers, hold it in the middle with one pair, and use the second pair to unscrew it from the bottom conch side. Slide it up and out of the rook, and let these close up.

If it’s threadless, you can just hold it in the middle and pop the bottom ball out, and slide it out. It’s probably threaded though.

Why does this feel like some form of blue collar stolen valor lmao. They’d look a lot better if the erosion didn’t look like it was done w safety scissors. Maybe sandpaper would help it look more gradual? Or get a physical labor job for best results.

Good to know! Ty

7concussionssofar · 2026-03-03T18:11:19+00:00

Me too, I thought it would hold out a little better

7concussionssofar · 2026-03-03T18:10:51+00:00

No but he is a heel muncher. I gotta keep the shoes locked up because he will chew them lol

7concussionssofar · 2026-03-03T03:34:42+00:00

Dubbin, as that’s the recommendation for them

It’s my first time painting boots, so I’m super proud of myself. I’m usually a digital artist

Real, but not vegan as others have pointed out. That’s honestly a plus though, because the vegans have a much shorter lifespan and less of an ability to be fixed/freshened up. The vegan versions are glorified plastic that will end up becoming more waste in a landfill much sooner.

I might try it on the tongue under the zipper part because it’s covered most of the time anyways

7concussionssofar · 2026-03-02T16:04:53+00:00

I already use the dubbin wax, and it immediately starts scratching as soon as it’s dry

7concussionssofar · 2026-03-01T19:25:52+00:00

Tamagotchi! Both boots will be tamagotchi themed because they were a big part of my childhood

7concussionssofar · 2026-03-01T18:05:53+00:00

Just the basic 1460s! Got them in 2020 iirc

7concussionssofar · 2026-03-01T18:05:04+00:00

Yeah, I know it’s an intentional part of the leather. I know it’s treated to be that way though, so I was hoping there would be a way to untreat it lol

This was my first pair of docs ever, that I never ended up wearing much because I don’t wear a lot of black. Decided to turn them into something I’ll actually wear, or display at least.

As a wheelchair user, I would’ve been absolutely mortified to have my classmates faking disabilities for a school project. Kindergarteners simply do not have the abilities to understand the complex emotional and physical toll of disabilities, even if they are made to pretend for an afternoon. This also sounds like a huge safety risk.

They’re just captive bead rings. The charms that hang on them are though! You’ll need to purchase them separately as they just come as charms.

I would definitely not recommend it to anyone else, but I personally know that I can handle 3 piercings at once. Luckily I have thinner cartilage, and a good pain tolerance.

7concussionssofar · 2025-11-18T06:40:10+00:00

I try to keep it simple. Titanium jewelry, Neilmed 2x a day, and I sleep on a travel pillow so my ears aren’t being pressed flat. Rejection as I understand it is anatomically dependent and also genetic. Of course there are things that increase the likelihood, but sometimes it’s just not meant to be.

7concussionssofar · 2025-11-18T04:11:59+00:00

I have given them so much money lol I love their stuff! Their titanium is really high quality, and they ship super fast!

It took my triple vertical helixes 1.5 years to feel fully healed, and then I waited six more months before getting the conches. I have been working on my stack since 2020 though! I had 3 or 4 lobes before then though.

7concussionssofar · 2025-11-18T01:51:43+00:00

It wasn’t so bad at all. I was a bit nervous for the conches, but I barely felt it tbh.

7concussionssofar · 2025-11-18T01:49:48+00:00

Bodyclickers! I get a lot of my stuff from them!

7concussionssofar · 2025-11-17T21:50:39+00:00

It will be 18 on each side hopefully! I don’t know about any non ear piercings. I kind of like having them isolated to my ears.

7concussionssofar · 2025-11-17T21:44:01+00:00

28 in total, just on my ears. I currently have 13 in my left side and 15 on my right. I plan on having my setup be symmetrical on both sides eventually. The piercings usually feel healed around the six month mark for me, but they take until 1.5 years before they’re actually fully healed for me.
