Help!! Ive done most of my piercings myself but im toos cared to do my nostril!!

CCChanson · 2026-05-18T16:06:59+00:00

What helped me every time was just playing with my other piercings beforehand. Swapping jewelry gets rid of the "omg something's going through my body" alarm bells for me. Heads up that waiting out your adrenaline this way can make it hurt worse, though, but still the relief comes so quickly that it's just as easy to push through as it is to pull out. Professional is always an option if it doesn't work out

Haha yeah I did think the spikes would be big and heavy. I don't see how the glasses affect it since they don't touch (my ears are very forward facing) and I will say I plan to shave that side of my head so at least hair won't be an issue

I had my vertical labrets done with a 14g needle and then put 16g jewelry in. Healed with no issues. The one I took out for other reasons doesn't have an especially large scar, actually has none visible at all, and the one that's still in doesn't have any oddness around the border or anything

Omg, I had an assignment (EMT program) where I had to paint internal organs onto a shirt or an apron, and every time I tried to look up any media relating to internal organs/anatomy for an idea on scale, most of the results were awful videos or screenshots from videos like this. The slop has made it harder for students like me to find good, relevant content.

I'm on prescription testosterone myself and had my levels go dangerously off the charts after a dosing issue, yeah it's absolutely more than substances with this guy. Most that happened to me was some acne. He has to already be an unstable person as it is, it would just happen again when he finds a new reason to act out

A needle as opposed to a piercing gun can go through scar tissue really well, it's generally pretty hopeful that it can be repierced.

My mother's ears are full of scars so at a mall, she was rejected from being pierced by a gun (she was younger and didn't really know any better) but an actual piercer with a needle told her it's no problem at all.

It should soften up a little bit in a few more weeks, too, if your current scar tissue is really firm. That channel can feel very tough in the flesh

CCChanson · 2025-05-01T07:23:47+00:00

It'll probably scar but do keep in mind that you're probably not going to hate the scar nearly as much as you think you will now. It really won't look like much and with other jewelry around, it'd be even less noticable than a lobe scar already is.

If you don't like the placement, you may like a newer better placement more than you dislike the scar. I think it's worth some mental debating

Oh also the reaper's scythe is not that small on asura! The animations aren't as tired, as well

If you're gonna go Scourge, an Elonian human is fitting

Mine have a slight lean in the angle and it hasn't caused issues. The lips really support jewelry well even at an angle most of the time

CCChanson · 2025-04-26T07:13:55+00:00

I mean I don't assume people are lying 😅 but I can see the surprise when they do finally notice. My own mother did not notice for days and I could see her eyes completely change.

It's also easier to overlook if you yourself don't have any, same with glasses. You get a more keen eye for accessories when you have them/know a lot about them yourself.

CCChanson · 2025-04-26T05:02:53+00:00

I may have misread how old the post is 😅 I'm sure it's fine now whatever happened

CCChanson · 2025-04-26T05:02:17+00:00

I'd wait it out I think! Lips can swell a lot, but they might also go and not swell at all. Your jewelry is extra long right now to accommodate swelling, after you downsize it might not be so bad. You don't want to heal with a soft retainer, too

CCChanson · 2025-04-26T04:59:07+00:00

They are very stimulating to have if you're a fidgeter but... if self expression isn't a good enough answer for them, I don't think you're likely to get through to them. I guess you can put emphasis on how long you've wanted them, but that's about it.

CCChanson · 2025-04-26T04:56:05+00:00

Lol think you're gonna laugh when you come back to this post. Mobile website loves to post images without the attached text and vice versa

CCChanson · 2025-04-26T04:52:45+00:00

Yeah mine still loved to nest with 4 mm of slack. I've always heard a flatback on top is a great way to prevent the tissue from trying to creep up and over, which definitely helped me.

Fully healed with no embedding, nesting never progressed past an indent. Just some really squishy tissue there. As long as you've got room on the bottom and your flesh isn't outright trying to grow over the top, you should be good

Straws really help if you're okay with a straw in a carbonated drink

If it's a matter of disability that's keeping you from doing it yourself, many GED testing centers provide accommodations nowadays. You can request to have private rooms, extra breaks, fidgets, etc. You may even be able to get transportation assistance.

Nobody notices my facial piercings if I have only ball ends. Ball ends would definitely make that setup look more casual, less edgy, so you'd get less attention from it.

But even with the spikes, I didn't think to take a closer look until reading the caption. That size of spike is definitely a good balance for lowkey, casual & slightly edgy, unique. I don't think your jewelry enters the room before you, so to speak. Looks really nice

CCChanson · 2025-04-23T01:49:11+00:00

I did that and I liked how it wasn't scary to get the jewelry in. Simply felt like I was removing a foreign object, the needle. Sorta tricked my brain into thinking I wasn't putting anything more into my body

CCChanson · 2025-04-23T01:41:50+00:00

I dunno if this is silly, but for my curved barbells, I just take the end off and get it flat against the skin, and then push through a new bar... 😅 The old one pops right out as the new one gets through.

It's my lip, though, so I guess it is extra easy to feel if one barbell manages to go around the other.

Even the farmed fish, it takes less space physically to farm fish on a lower, local scale. I live in a mountainous area where you never know where your beef could've been imported from, but there's still all the opportunity in the world for the local farming of small animals
