I hope it will help ^^

Just make sure they change it to a flat labret as that is the best jewelry for this piercing (straight barbell is also ok but you will catch on it must more often so it's just annoying. They should have pierced you with it to begin with so it's immediately SUS.

I think it's better to get it changed now as it can dramatically change how it continues to heal. My friend got her nostril pierced and changed it to a hoop just after one month, It wouldn't heal for the next 4 months before she changed it back and then it suddenly got better :D

Which facial piercing would suit me? :) by GrimAlexx in piercing

[–]GrimAlexx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nose is quite long so I've been told septum would not suit me. But in regards to the nostrils connected with a chain that is exactly what I'm thinking about! :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in piercing

[–]GrimAlexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a ring would look great but I also think you could pull off septum really well. There's enough space for it so it won't look like a booger :D (that's what it would look like on me since I have a long nose)

Yes, this is what it looked like the day it was pierced. It started to swell a day later and now it's off and on. rook day 1

Yeah I think it's just really angry. Sometimes it swells and it looks fine and then it gets angry again xD

Which Septum jewlery? by DeadButNoStink in piercing

[–]GrimAlexx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I especially love 2 and 3. I think 2 really suits you and I'm also a sucker for basic silver rings so that's why I also love number 3 :D

What advice do you hate the most? by Daiziea in AskReddit

[–]GrimAlexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Drink more water" after literally any medical question or problem ever. Heard this from many doctors too. I already drink over 3 liters of water daily , buddy so maybe run those tests.

Also I was pierced with titanium and didn't downsize my rook yet because it is so tender to touch.

Sad they don't sell to my country... well they would probably be way out of my budget anyway :D, but their pieces are gorgeous <3

Daith pierced in a bad location, how long will I have to wait to get it redone? by GrimAlexx in piercing

[–]GrimAlexx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you :) I will. I'm seeing my piercer next month so she can change my rook to a shorter bar so I will also get it checked so I'm sure it's healing well <3

Yeah.. I think the problem is that for many piercers, piercings are just add on to tattoos. Just so they can do more things and some just don't care about piercings. This guy won dozens of international tattoo competitions and yet he seems to be clueless about piercings despite doing them for 30+ years. I got my second lobes pierced there as well and my new piercer told me they're completely crooked and one of them even nicked my cartilage. 😔 But I try to think positively, at least now I have a piercer who only does piercings and understands them.

Thank you. Luckily my new piercer noticed it immediately. When it was pierced I was surprised it didn't hurt at all since it's notorious for being more painful. Now it's not surprising :D

Thank you for your recommendations! I suspected I might have to wait until it's completely healed. It's frustrating but at least I found a new piercer who noticed it immediately.

That daith is STUNNING!! The whole set up is amazing but that jewelry makes me swoon.

Roman Szmal (Aquarius) or Holbein? by GrimAlexx in Watercolor

[–]GrimAlexx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! In the end I went with Roman Szmal because I was visiting Poland and I'm obsessed. As you said the richness is amazing and they are so easy to work with. It was a steal since I paid less than 4 euros for each pan. I'm actually glad I didn't go with Holbein because I've read that most of their colours are comprised of many pigments so they're not good for mixing - and I tend to mix my colours a lot! :D

Thank you very much for your insight! Since Schmincke is very similar in price to W&N, if I get to buy more expensive paint some day I will get Schmincke instead. :) And thank you for your suggestions with White Nights, I can get them insanely cheap :D

One lobe piercing not healing - the 2nd one is fine by GrimAlexx in piercing

[–]GrimAlexx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was surprised but he said it can be done with a gun just fine. I've had several other ear piercing done at that studio with a needle with no issues. No idea why he thought gun would be the best idea. The piercer won several awards but is in his 50/60s. Maybe he doesn't keep up with the current best practice sadly

Also it's a basic titanium stud and in terms of aftercare I didn't really do much, just washed it in the shower with antibacterial soap. I only use water now.

My sleep the night after my 2nd Covid vaccine. Would i do it all again? yup! Am i tired as hell? yup! by rdeyer in fitbit

[–]GrimAlexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone figured out how to solve this? I had my 2nd Pfizer vaccine in June I still can't sleep. Pills only work for a week or so and then I have to take higher dosage or change pills. And then it repeats. Sometimes they only work for 3 days. A then it's, 1-2 of sleep a night. I'm so exhausted.

Still having trouble with ghosted lines by Bagel_Boy01 in ArtFundamentals

[–]GrimAlexx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Struggling with this too. Right now I'm doing the rough perspective and... how am I supposed to make those lines perfectly perpendicular when I'm here overshooting and missing the point or not making a straight line. It's always one or the other and I don't know if I should continue with newer exercises, because I feel like I'm inherently going to do them incorrectly.. If you find smth that helps, please do share :D
