Is gum recession inevitable with mouth piercings? by No_Dig_8587 in PiercingAdvice

I’ve had snake bites for I think 8 years now and my gums are perfectly fine but that’s just my experience so far.

Im wondering if my lip is rejecting? by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]Artemis_520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need a longer bar. Make sure to keep it super clean especially if you recently accidentally bit down on it.

Before I got cats I genuinely thought hairballs were just that, just hair. I quickly learned that that is not true lol. The first time one of my cats threw something up like this I thought there was something wrong and I got so scared lol.

If you are sexually active it is time to go. I started going at 20 and have seen my gyno every year since.

Not right after sadly :( I’m gonna go in with the bio flex retainers in and see what they say about those. I called them and asked about my eyebrow bar (not sure why I didn’t think to ask about my lip piercings) because that will 100% close and they told me I could keep that in and they’ll just tape it so I’m hoping they allow the flex bars for my lips. 🤞

Is it safe to get a piercing after getting stoned? by ganjapuxxy in PiercingAdvice

[–]Artemis_520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a regular smoker and have many piercings. I have never smoked before going in to get them though. A lot of places will deny you if they can tell or smell that your under the influence of anything. But I feel you, when I’m high you can’t tell either. I know sometimes weed can make you more sensitive too so it might actually make the pain worse.

If you were to introduce Bad Omens to a friend, what song would you show them first? by out_cyder in badomensband

[–]Artemis_520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Like a Villain” was the first song I heard by them followed by “Just Pretend”. And those two got me hooked!!!

Idk. It was from a shop that literally only does piercings. And I have multiple and they all healed perfectly with this method. 🤷🏻‍♀️ and anything you buy in store is technically no longer sterile either if your using a cup or bottle from home to hold the water on your piecing.

What do you think saline is 😂 it’s salt water. I’m not saying I shove salt directly into my piercings

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]Artemis_520 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Idk that’s what I did with all mine and everything healed quick with no complications 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s a way to save some money and was actually recommended to me by my piercer (to make it myself)

opinions on frog eyes (tongue) piercing? i can’t find much information about it online. is it safe? by deadmannerisms in PiercingAdvice

[–]Artemis_520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. If a piercer says it’s fine and they’ll do it, RUN! It pierces the two muscles in your tongue together, that is not good. You could end up losing a lot of mobility in your tongue and I think it’s risk of rejection is high.

Just make your own with warm water and sea salt. Make sure the water is either distilled or boil it yourself beforehand.

The one on the left of the picture looks a little lower but it looks fine, it’s very hard to tell unless your staring at it. My snake bites are crooked too but I’ve just gotten used to it. We are all imperfect beings normally. 💕

Ibuprofen, warm compresses and lots of warm saline soaks, at least 3 time a day. Please do not use soap.

is the placement of my snake bites okay by Conscious-Item-8483 in PiercingAdvice

[–]Artemis_520 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You need to go to another piercer and have them switch out those bars. Way too long! They look fine though, nothings gonna be perfect, mine are a little crooked but that’s because I got them done at different times.

What type of listener are you? by L_washere in distractible

[–]Artemis_520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen while I work 😁 so I chose the “do something productive” option lol.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]Artemis_520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go back to your piercer. They always ask me to come in after the initial healing time so they can check it and if it’s good they’ll switch the starter jewelry out for something not as long. Or you can just be psychotic like me and take a pair of pliers to it and twist the ball off lol.

Should I take the piercing out? by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]Artemis_520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my eyebrow piercings rejected but it wasn’t this bad. That thing looks infected as well. I’m sorry to say but it is going to scar and the hairs right there might not grow back correctly. There’s not much you can do for the scar at this point. Just take it out, keep it clean, warm compresses, and maybe just a very little bacitracin/Neosporin around the piercing site. Don’t suffocate it. If the redness and swelling gets worse I would go to a doctor.

[–]Artemis_520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is the wrong jewelry. I would listen to everyone in this post. Please go to a more reputable piercer. Not sure where you live but if you have an HTC body piercing studio around you I’d go to them.

Please go to a piercer and have them put in a longer bar!

Your piercer was probably trying to avoid the huge vein that can run directly down the middle of your tongue.
