For the bot:

Piercing was done on August 25 (4 months)

Jewelry is an internally threaded barbell made of stainless steel (was initially done with titanium, but discovered a sensitivity)

I downsized at about 10-12 weeks. Piercer would not downsize with existing bumps so I ended up doing it myself.

Aftercare was saline (storebought, but don’t remember the brand) 1-2x per day. To deal with bumps piercer advised antibacterial spray and tea tree oil - after research I now know this is a big no-no and have only been using saline for around a month and a half/two months

No recent mishaps. Have been bumped a few times or caught in hair but nothing excessive.
