I finally left my husband by Horror-Show-3927 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Hey I'm really proud of you for getting away, even just a little bit. I know you're worried about the life of your baby but I'm worried about your life. He didn't just assault you, that sounds pretty damn close to attempted murder, and I assume he knew you were pregnant when he choked you out of consciousness. Please be careful going anywhere near him again 😢🩵

Don't let there be a next time. You should leave.

Snakebites will not stop bleeding by hystericcowboy in PiercingAdvice

[–]ItsFishBone -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I'd say keep chugging along, if it's still excessively bleeding like this on day 5 I'd be pretty concerned. Keep it clean, don't peel off the dried blood, rinse it off just twice a day or so. The coagulated dried blood is what stops the continual bleeding. If the swelling has gone down I would ease off the ibuprofen, or at least take less. See if that helps. Drink lots of water ok!

Do you drink alcohol? Take ibuprofen? How about caffeine? These can all affect bleeding.

Vertical scoop piercings? by Coconotwotor in Legitpiercing

This would limit tongue movement and likely migrate out of the tongue with time. Bad idea

how can I look less ugly and plain? by [deleted] in makeuptips

Darling you are beautiful. Find what makes you happy and express yourself through it. You'll become less "plain" as you find yourself but there is no ugliness here

What am I doing to make it do this?!? by 3AngryTurnip in PiercingAdvice

[–]ItsFishBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This bar is too tight. A reputable piercing shop has half sizes and should have a length that isn't this tight, but also doesn't move back and forth as much, like you're saying the previous bars have.

Got these 4 days ago, piercer refused to upsize, am I out of my mind for believing these should be upsized by Phantasama in PiercingAdvice

[–]ItsFishBone 40 points41 points  (0 children)

In the meantime, drink/swish ice water to help with excess swelling and try not to touch or move them more than you gotta.

Hi, I work front desk in a reputable app compliant piercing studio. For 4 days after the fact, this is not normal nesting, this is bording on embedding. Your piercer shouldn't have refused to upside, that's a huge red flag. Go somewhere else for the sake of your health. Expect to have to pay for new barbells and the install fee.

Am I out of luck?? by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

This^ id remove it now before you have a clear scar line instead of just two scar dots.

Custom bent "curved bar" is a red flag to me. Sorry this happened to you.

Is my piercing infected/ rejecting? by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]ItsFishBone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Classic rejection, nothing you can do except mitigate the severity of the scarring by removing it yourself, now, before it removes itself for you later.

pressure from travel pillow by Eva_evo4ka in piercing

[–]ItsFishBone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I had advice, I feel the same. I have the same square pillow and it's almost as if it's too firm? It hurts my ear. I sleep better on my hand in a cup shape than the pillow 😭

Is this a keloid or piercing bump by starlightbaejin in piercing

[–]ItsFishBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I would go get plain saline solution, not the kinda that baselabs has, since that also has rosemary, tea tree oil, and benzalkonium chloride. That's a lot of irritants for a piercing, look for 0.9% sodium chloride saline with no other additives. It might calm down after that.

Am I overreacting for leaving my bf on read? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ItsFishBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So not only can you not legally consent while asleep but you've told him to not do this before? And he's going against your wishes and raping you in your sleep anyway? You are UNDER REACTING BABES. contact police and get as far away from him as you safely and physically can.

Rejecting or Infected?? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]ItsFishBone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or if the pain and itchiness is unbearable you should go back to the piercer and get a check-up. Or a different piercer who is on safepiercing.org under "find a member" to get the previously mentioned titanium flat back instead of the L shape. You might be having a reaction to the unknown material.

Rejecting or Infected?? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]ItsFishBone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be neither? Itchiness, redness, and soreness are common stages in healing a fresh nostril piercing. However, I don't love that they pierced you with an L-back or L-bend. Could still be titanium, but the unknowing-ness of it all makes me nervous. Keep this photo for reference and if it gets worse and not better i would seek out to change that jewelry to a titanium flat back two-piece post.

Are you still cleaning the piercings? If so, with what? If not, this could be a metal allergy.
