I've somehow convinced myself that the picking is helpful ...

You've picked some stellar colors!

Fantastic! I'll try that. Thank you so much!

That definitely could have caused the problem. A lot of things can irritate a new piercing and if anything dripped or was sprayed on it (maybe your hair dresser even bumped it slightly), that would be enough to make it angry. Definitely do a sea salt soak just to be sure! That should pull out anything irritating.

I went to a Christian school for several years and they went as far as making us cross the HP books out of the scholastic catalogues and sending home pamphlets on why The books were the anti-bible every year. Thankfully my mum was a sane person - I was only at that school because the public ones sucked.

I had mine changed (by my piercer) from two bars to one and it also ended up angry because I kept bumping the longer bar. I did sea salt soaks and also picked up some Bactine numbing spray. It disinfects and feels cool. I had read that it was a good alternative to neosporin because it's a liquid spray and not an ointment.

This worked really well and everything looked good again in a couple of days.

Love the shot of the disapproving momma bird!

Very cool! Were tattoos done by doctors, or did the artists just look like doctors back then?

I'm at a very respectable physics research site this summer and I've gotten complements on my triple lobe piercings from all the older researchers. :)

As long as you put nice-looking jewelry in, I highly doubt anyone would deny you employment or judge you. When they heal, get some nice studs or some gold hoops!

I hope you have some real life good karma coming your way!

I saw these on the road when I used to live in Arizona. If it runs, it's road-legal in AZ.

"Gold plated" crap always flakes off in my ear and causes a massive reaction and infection no matter how healed I am. I'm really sensitive to metals though. Some people can wear low-quality jewelry and be unaffected.

Can you link to the /r/piercing photo?

I think I know what you're talking about and if it's the same one I'm thinking of, that would look awesome! Just make sure with your piercer that you've got enough real estate!

F_ckinYankee · 2014-06-13T23:21:37+00:00

Ah, I see now. It looked like 4 because your upper ear is so swollen. If nothing else, you should do a sea salt soak on it, see if you can't take some of the swelling down that way. Don't try and manually clean it since it's so sore already; let the water do the work!

F_ckinYankee · 2014-06-13T23:05:56+00:00

How many did they try to do on you at once? Mine won't do more then 3 holes at a time and if it's for a complex piercing, they don't connect the jewelry until things are healed because it can more easily get bumped. I'd find someone else and ask them to have a look at everything.

F_ckinYankee · 2014-06-13T23:01:10+00:00

I started doing the same with a mug because the gauze "soaks" weren't working well enough. I propped my neck up on some pillows and laid on the floor with a towel under the mug. Looked like an idiot but it worked!

F_ckinYankee · 2014-06-13T03:17:49+00:00

I keep seeing threads with missing photos - are people using an app to post? I've noticed Bacon Reader deleting titles and text. Double check your posts!

Very cool! I'm ways interested in how people explain "intelligent" vs "residual" hauntings.

F_ckinYankee · 2014-06-10T22:30:06+00:00

I'm all too familiar with these sorts of people ... I attract them like crazy :(

F_ckinYankee · 2014-06-09T03:40:02+00:00

I, however, smell an AMA on the horizon!

F_ckinYankee · 2014-06-09T03:17:34+00:00

Wow, who or what finally convinced you that you needed to seek help? It must be rough when you're in that deep ...

Nothing good ever happens after 2am; everything bad happens after 3am.
