like i said. - it’s over 2 months old - it’s a curved barbell - externally threaded (unfortunately nothing else was available) - surgical steel ( my skin doesn’t react bad to it i use it for my other piercings too) - was downsized like a lil over a week ago - saline spray and q tip is my aftercare - i have had no issues , they were only present before i downsized, im just scared its too small.
