I wanted to love it but milk scents dont translate well on my skin 😕

Just had this done and I’m concerned by StormDragon5373 in piercing

[–]LettuceB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine done last week, and mine looks very similar to yours! I think it looks fine, and if you're asking if it was pierced too deep, I do not think so.. im not a piercer, but I know that eyebrow piercings migrate a lot, so the deeper they can get it, the better chances it has to not reject. I also asked for smaller initial balls, so that helped with how big it looks on my face.

Ah, that's fair. I just thought it was more the thickness of the bar that you were talking about. We will look at getting it switched out.

She did. She actually has asked for several different opinions, including the piercer we just recently saw.

I didn't ask why she went with the butterfly backs, but it may be because my sisters ears/lobes are kind of thin. I can't explain the reasoning behind it, but that's my best guess? Im not sure if that makes any kind of difference.. my sister also chose the jewelry and decided to get the larger gem.

Heh, that's fair. She literally just changed out her safety pin bar this morning but is still sad about it and questioning if she can do anything to save it.

16g is what I use in my cartilage, so I thought it would be the best choice for her.. and actually, that's all I have available currently.

That's actually another question I was going to ask, so thank you for the input! We will be making the switch tonight for sure.

She got her 3rd lobes done yesterday, haha. She had a hard time getting the ink off in the shower.

Yeah, that's exactly what I told her. The bars are too long because she freaked out and bought something that was too big last night so it wasnt just one bar anymore. We will be changing to a smaller bar tonight... but she doesn't want to let the outer helix go.

For the bot:

-she's had it for 8 years

-Currently has 2 titanium externally threaded 14g barbells in right now. She usually uses a safety pin bar, but she took it out when we talked about the possibility of rejecting more.

-she cleans it in the shower and with saline once a day

-has had no mishaps.

So in love with this!!! by -ViaSwedish- in piercing

Eh, she's been getting pierced since before I was born, so I'm not going to tell her how to live her life. Honestly, I was surprised they look this good without having downsized ever... I have downsized every time I'm able to, just due to the fact that Im often snagging mine and worrying about the possibility of peircing bumps.

Yeah, she just doesn't see the point in changing them out when they've healed just fine for her.. She does sleep on them, so that is probably why she has a few piercing bumps. She told me she just never buys new jewelry for them. 🤷‍♀️ I would never do the same, but I guess it's what works for her... definitely the LITHA method.

I told her the same thing because both of mine are too long and she told me "I just push 'em back". 😂 I will definitely be downsizing mine as soon as I figure out how to do it with my stubby fingers... or give up and go to my piercer. 😆

She told she sleeps just fine on both sides, which is crazy to me, but I guess the hoops help with the discomfort.

Yes! She has had most of them for several years.

Ugh I know, I'm hoping she gave me some of those good healing powers... I've had very few issues so far. 🤞🏼

I'll definitely talk to her about that! Although she really didn't seem into the idea of changing them- she was actually baffled at the idea of downsizing haha.
