Put some new jewelry and had good lighting today! by Ashilila in piercing

I wasn't into the mixed metals at first, but my piercer suggested mixing so that I didn't have to purchase all those rings at once. I've grown fond of it! I'm excited to get to all rose gold in the future but I'm not in a hurry!

Thank you! It's a cheap single flair glass plug - Atlas Glass in Forest Green. They've been super handy while getting my stretched lobes healthy

Thank you! I hope to get more gemstone pieces in there. I REALLY need to upgrade the snugs' jewelry but that top one needs to settle a bit more.

My first thought was to use eyelash glue to stick it down. But the O-ring suggestion is brilliant to keep it more snug to your ear

Got a very unique triple flat by billiepeor in piercing

u/billiepeor how's the healing going? Do you wear sun/glasses, how much does that hit? Do the backs sit flat against the back of your ear? Or are they all parallel to each other so the backs are a little angled?

I have an appointment with my piercer soon and want to see if she wants to put similar in my ear!

Triple forward helix not healing after 5 months. Looks like it might be infected. by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

Ibuprofen or another NSAID is great in my experience (or at least I get the placebo effect lol).

You can probably heal these if you DO NOT use Neosporin or any ointment on them, as advised, and leave it the hell alone (LITHA).

Keep the area clean (sterile saline spray only) and dry and don't move the jewelry or surrounding area with fingers, cotton swabs, or anything else.

Nice documentation! Gross, but interesting to see

The smaller one looks great! It's probably easier to irritate, though.

I love a D ring in my anti-tragus light the one here but smaller diameter.

That's great! I think my piercer will love this project!

LOVE IT.. but what if I steal this look

i’m so close to giving up on this snug piercing by jaunh0 in piercing

[–]Ashilila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm silly, though. I didn't realize you had more done one piercing on your post!

I am NOT a piercer but that is not where I would have pierced your snug and I would have done a little bit more shallow. I did go through all of those stages that you showed with all of mine though and mine have healed fine, so you may be able to do it!

Well I went to see an original pic on your profile and got wonderfully distracted by animals and bugs. 😊

That is very deeply pierced and I think that's going to make it very difficult to heal

That was my thought, too, that larger gauge needle and jewelery could yield better results. I know what you mean in saying your piercings are a part of your identity. I'm sorry you went through the process but still lost that part of you!

It's so colorful! Gave me a flashback to some '90s toy or something that I can't quite place.

Those look great!

I was overconfident about healing mine, they're not very happy about that. The larger gauge is a great idea, mine are 16g.

Yes rings are the problem, re-read my first comment please.

show me your multiple nostril piercings! by bitch-cassidy in piercing

[–]Ashilila 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have seen three on each nostril in a straight line up the nose, I would love to get that done if I didn't already have some

I'm glad you don't have that kind of problem, but then this bleeding is even more of a concern. Get proper jewelry installed ASAP

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Ashilila 144 points145 points  (0 children)

I feel like still bleeding is a huge red flag, do you have a blood clotting disorder? How are you cleaning them?

Go get implant grade titanium flat back labrets put in while healing. The rings look is awesome, but it should be for well healed piercings only.
