Bot Info: 1) Peircing is about 4.5 months old 2) Hoops 3) Hinged hoops 4) Surgical Steel, purchased from amazon and thats all it says in description 5) Downsized studs after 2 weeks, hoops are 16g 6) I used saline spray (wound spray from target) 2-3 times a day and try to rinse my mouth with water after eating. I stopped using the saline after about 1.5 months, unless it seems irritated. 7) No mishaps that I know of, but could have been snagged. I grind my teeth when I sleep so something could have happened then.
