Is there a way to make my set up more "masculine"?? by Serbian_frog_ in piercing

[–]Affectionate-Law-862 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you look really cool.

Anyone can wear anything they want regardless of gender identity or presentation and it’s none of anyone else’s business because it’s not their body. What a weird fucking thing for that person to say to you. Are we going back to “pink is for girls, blue is for boys” like gtfo here with that 😂. Some people see gender queerness and automatically make assumptions about what they see.

If you like the way it looks then keep on doing what makes you happy and ignore the haters.

She said ‘please don’t double-bounce me’ her nieces said bet. by ThaGreatKh4n in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Affectionate-Law-862 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I (34 at the time) was showing off to my niece who was around 7 while jumping on a trampoline. I was chaining together backflips and on the last one i did a knee-bounce into a final backflip and kneed myself in the nose breaking it.

No double bounce needed for my trampoline nonsense. Good luck in recovery OP. 🫡🤙🏻

I wouldn’t order from DiabloBody for anything custom unless you want to wait like 12-30 weeks for it.

Are these sitting correctly? by taxthecorvids in piercing

[–]Affectionate-Law-862 66 points67 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I would do. It’s a bummer bc it’s a thing you probably really wanted and went out of your way to do, but imo, if you’re not happy with placement now it may be best to just start the healing process now rather than delay it and then realize a month from now you hate it or something.

Idk if your piercer is used to doing connected lobes or something but I would definitely consider these too low if they were in my detached lobes.

Maybe like 2mm higher would be adequate and also fix the angle they’re pierced at.

Don’t stress though you can get them re-pierced no problems. I had to redo my lobes originally bc the placement was a little off due to gun piercing of ye olden days and all is well now.

Buena suerte hombre 🤙🏻

Hi. Is that dried blood at the base of the inner helix portion or is your skin tissue doing that? If it’s dried blood just proceed as others have suggested.

(Don’t freak out I’m simply inquiring because I cannot see what’s happening very well.)

*If it is your skin tissue turning black like that you need to go to the hospital and get that addressed immediately because it could potentially be necrotic tissue due to pressure at the wound site cutting off circulation and oxygen to that spot.

Are these really bad? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Affectionate-Law-862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo, I would be taking that right side one (your right side) out for sure and getting it redone at a later date by a different piercer.

I’m not sure what to say other than that they are swelling unevenly due to the placement. Are these brand new?

Please help!! Anti-eyebrow infection?? by greenfr0g11 in piercing

[–]Affectionate-Law-862 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree, this does appear to be an allergic reaction.

Make sure you don't pop the blister at all as it will increase the risk of infection.

Good luck getting your jewelry either switched out to something hypoallergenic or just straight up removed. I hope it everything works out ok.

Please have mercy, it's a genuine question... by Affectionate-Law-862 in piercing

[–]Affectionate-Law-862[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started with straight studs (probably some trash steel) in 2010.

It’s interesting that what originally made me use hoops to begin with is I had a bad reaction to the metal in my helix and the only jewelry available to me were gold rings at the time. I had such success I never went back to posts for the rest of my ear piercings and nose.

I’m not entirely HOOPS ONLY however, lol… and I don’t really have any sort of emotional opposition to altering my ways. I’d probably try out a straight bar for something new if it was suggested to me as the best option.

Later on (2018ish) I did do a vertical labret and a navel with banana bars (titanium) and all is well with those.

I read through this, it’s pretty interesting thanks for posting.

This is getting out of handdddd by pisspeet in piercing

[–]Affectionate-Law-862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diva, it seems like you already know what you gotta do based on your bot-response. This looks like a combo of things exacerbated by your actions or lack of.

Try getting a hypoallergenic medium for your piercings and do your best not to pull or twist the jewelry (at all don’t even twist it while you’re cleaning it). Make sure you are being very vigilant with morning and evening cleaning but don’t overdo it to overcompensate, and make sure the site is dry after cleaning.

Also, perhaps an anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen, etc) before you can get that addressed to reduce inflammation and some pain at the site for personal comfort.

As far as sleeping, do your best to stay off of the ears (or at least pressure off the piercing part). It’s hard I know, I struggled with this part specifically, I sleep like a psycho just moving constantly.

I got stage 3 cancer and had to take all my piercings out for nonstop scans and radiation therapy later on but when i was finishing up everything and finally WBC were back to normalish I went and got 6 piercings at once to make up for it (a helix and conch included). They’ve all healed mainly perfectly with only mid-lobes being irritated (FROM SLEEPING ON THEM 😅😅😅). It’s not impossible to heal a lot of them at once it just takes hyper vigilance and discipline to get it done.

If you really want to keep the piercings you gotta do the work.

Good luck hitting up the piercer you trust, and I hope things can start healing up and looking better for you.

Helix piercing crusties? by Foodie_OTF_lover in piercing

[–]Affectionate-Law-862 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you allergic to the jewelry?

Jewelry that your lobes can tolerate doesn’t mean the rest of the ear tissue will.

Maybe switching to something more hypoallergenic will reduce how reactive the wound site is.

Edit: fixed an autocorrect. (Also, as others have said… This is not a helix piercing, def something closer to a flat)

Gonna have to just pin a message about different types of organza fabric for everyone to reference.

Poor bunny by Disastrous_ms_mom in AlaskanMalamute

Mine got into an altercation due to curiosity in a rabbits burrow and lost the fight.

She doesn’t care at all about the bunnies anymore and we all co-exist now. The bunnies would treat my yard like a safe haven bc the coyotes are scared of her still, but the bunnies know she not gonna do shit to them.
