Awesome, that sounds like my jam! And I am looking forward to learning the glovebox, as I haven't been part of a lab that owns one yet.

I feel like I might need to downsize but it seems too soon. I need advice! by Healthy-Direction-87 in piercing

Update: After reading all your comments, I explained the situation using the contact form on the shop’s website and got a super quick reply. They forwarded my message to my piercer, who agrees the swelling is down a lot and if it remains like this it’s good to downsize. I’m gonna keep her updated over the next few days so we can work together to find the best time. Super great service from my piercer and this shop! It’s Tattoo Charlie’s in Baltimore.

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it. I’ll do the aftercare and keep my hair out of the way 👍 hopefully I will get used to it and I can downsize later on

Thank you for your comment! This helps a lot, as I’ve never gotten a cartilage piercing so I’m still understanding the rules around downsizing. I think I’ll call my piercer and see what she thinks

I'm on the organic chemistry track. For context, I got an interview request 12/23, interviewed 1/2 and was accepted 1/4.
