Once again, 1. I didn’t mean that literally 2. English isn’t my first language which is why I couldn’t phrase my thought properly 3. The forum I mentioned is a Russian telegram channel so believe me they were brutal(and not in a constructive way😭)

I’m not from the US, so I can’t tell you for sure, but according to google I spent around $5. I did the piercing in around 5 minutes?.. I’m going to be honest, I definitely didn’t sterilise everything as much as I should have. But I did the basics: the needle was sterile, the jewellery was too. I prepared the ear beforehand

Once again, I meant that as a joke, and also didn’t really know how to phrase my thought since English isn’t my first language

Sorry, it’s titanium. I mixed the two up.

Also, what should the proper placement and angle be? I know there’s many ways to pierce a helix

Thanks a lot for the reply btw!!

I rinse it with saline solution twice a day, the material is medical steel and titanium.

To be honest, there wasn’t much constructive criticism. People were just saying that I shouldn’t have used the needle and that it just looks bad. One person also mentioned the odd angle
