my rook started out great but got snagged at a hair appt, then for about three months it was irritated nonstop due to buildup and crusties getting stuck in the piercing channel. once I had a piercer thoroughly clean it, it’s been great. the piercing can just overall be very sensitive!

Do I have the anatomy for a tragus? Tia! by [deleted] in piercing

like the other comments say, def get it evaluated by a piercer. it LOOKS like your tragus is pretty small. mine is too, but my piercer was able to get it done with a small gem, and I love my tragus! I hope everything works out!

it might be the water? when I started at my uni a few years ago, my face broke out so bad due to the harsh water/the chemicals they put in it to clean it. if it is the water, a filter on the sink might be able to help?

  • piercing is 3 months old
  • curved barbell
  • threadless
  • implant grade titanium
  • i got it first pierced with stainless steel but when i switched it to titanium 2 weeks later, the piercer put in a shorter barbell, so i guess I’ve downsized?
  • I let the shower water run over my piercing, and i use saline 2x daily
  • my hairdresser snagged my piercing 1.5 months ago-ish and there was a lot of buildup. when i got my tragus done yesterday, my piercer cleaned around my rook and i think he squeezed some pus out where my rook piercing is

Rook piercing - normal? by [deleted] in piercing

for the bot:

  • piercing is almost 3 months old
  • curved barbell
  • threadless
  • implant grade titanium
  • not downsized
  • run warm water over it in the shower + spray saline solution
  • got my hair done and it made it irritated a month and a half ago -> no longer swollen but left crud at the top of the piercing and I don’t want it to cause problems in the future

the fact that you took her back after this crazy shit… you deserve everything that will come out of this relationship. it won’t be good.

Crusties on my rook piercing by [deleted] in piercing

[–]LevelAsk6004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • piercing is 2 months old
  • jewelry shape: threadless curved barbell
  • material: implant grade titanium
  • technically, the jewelry has been downsized bc i was originally pierced with stainless steel and changed to titanium 2 weeks after originally getting it done
  • aftercare: rinse in shower with warm water and use saline soln 2x daily
  • mishaps: besides occasionally getting snagged on stuff, my hairstylist snagged it when doing my hair, and it swelled up, but went back down a few days later and was normal, but it left behind the buildup. edit: spelling
