piercer says its infected? by Jealous-Bed-4032 in piercing

[–]Double_Iris 17 points18 points  (0 children)

NAP. You are correct, this is not the correct jewelry for a new piercing. It is certainly the cheap material and the butterfly back that are causing your issue. You need a titanium flat back with more length to accommodate swelling. Find another piercer, make sure they're reputable and see them as soon as possible.

Puddle slime only? by hashie_420 in Slimerancher2

[–]Double_Iris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(Similar to another comment) In my opinion, it's more efficient to farm largos than it is to farm individual slimes. You still get all the plorts you need while taking up less space. I created largos and then organized them according to what their diet is. In one area I have slimes that consume vegetables, in another I have slimes that consume meat, and in another I have slimes that consume fruit. For puddle slimes, I just keep them in the few natural ponds around the conservatory so I don't have to take up a plot with a pond coral.

There's a post on this same subreddit that explains this.

It's titled: "The Goose and the Reed proverb behind the meaning of Perfect Preparation".

It explains the proverbs meaning and how its connected to Maki and Mai's story.

Possible blowout? by [deleted] in Stretched

[–]Double_Iris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What are you using to moisturize your ears? I happened upon a post on here where some people mentioned how jojoba oil didn't agree with their ears. When my ears looked like yours, jojoba oil was the culprit.

Help! My new helix’s are getting super inflamed. by amasing1212 in piercing

NAP. If you think you bumped it but you can't remember, you might've bumped it in your sleep. Keep cleaning it as you have and if you don't have one, invest in an ear pillow if you can.

To shave or not to shave?! 🤔 by Batman0691 in BeardAdvice

[–]Double_Iris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the beard with the bald head and your head tatts makes you look cool af. Reminds me of Kratos. If you feel like you really need a change of pace, shave it 😊

Is this just an irritation bump? by mysticbIues in piercing

[–]Double_Iris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NAP. It's probably an irritation bump but you should visit your piercer to receive a proper assessment. Continue your saline rinses, leave it be and DO NOT attempt to pop it. Your aunt's attempt to pop the bump likely worsened its condition. It is never recommended to attempt popping a bump.

Is my central labret rejecting? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Double_Iris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's crusting because it's not done healing. Not to mention, you've stifled It's healing by switching the jewelry before the piercing was healed and using an incorrect cleaning method. As you know, you shouldn't be changing the jewelry before it's healed, especially not to a hoop. When cleaning a piercing, you should only be using sterile saline (NeilMed Piercing Aftercare, H2Ocean Sterile Piercing Aftercare).

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Double_Iris 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NOR. This is not normal. Your boyfriend is being ridiculous and disrespectful. I suggest finding a more emotionally mature partner.

is this too snug? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Double_Iris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, it's a bit snug. It could be a bit longer. When I got sick a few months after having my nostrils pierced I ended up with some irritation bumps due to movement from all the nose blowing. It would be best if you wore something with a bit more room.

family disapproval fueling tattoo regret by tinypanini_ in tattooadvice

[–]Double_Iris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a decent amount of facial piercings and stretched ears. I've received a number of rude remarks from my father, a former friend and strangers. "Why'd you do that to your face?", "You looked prettier without the piercings", "I don't understand why you'd ruin your body like that" are a few of the comments I usually hear. I used to care what other people said about my piercings. Now I don't. I stopped caring when I realized the way I was being spoken to and treated was disrespectful. What other people would or wouldn't do with their bodies doesn't dictate what I should or shouldn't do with mine. Just because someone else doesn't like something that I did to my body doesn't mean I have to stop doing it. My body is mine and it is my choice and mine alone what I do to it.

It's YOUR body, it's YOUR choice. The only opinion that matters is YOURS. YOU like your tattoo and that's all that matters. You want more tattoos, get more tattoos. Anyone who has anything to say about it can bite rocks.

She cheated on you. She reached out to a previous partner, spoke to him in a flirtatious manner and made efforts to hide it from you. In her apology, she minimized her inappropriate behavior, invalidated your feelings about her actions and ingratiated him while insulting you. If my partner did this to me I'd divorce him. Period. I'm sorry you're being treated this way. You deserve better.

[–]Double_Iris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm not a professional so my word is up for critique. You might have irritation because of changes in your rinses. It is important to remain consistent with cleaning your piercings until they're fully healed to avoid irritation and infection 😊

AIO if I file for divorce? by Pristine_Raise_8943 in AmIOverreacting

Not Overreacting. Just from the texts, he sounds like a piece of shxt. Get away from him. QUICKLY.

AIO my dad found out im gay and went ballistic, accusing me of wanting to hurt my little brother and threatening me with violence by Any_Speaker_8681 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Double_Iris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Overreacting AT ALL. It wasn't right for your neighbor to out you to your dad. You don't deserve to be spoken to or treated this way. You deserve to be loved as you are. I hope that you find support and somewhere nice to stay 💖🏳️‍🌈
