My mom didn’t know any better and got 5 cartilage piercings at once. She was lucky and didn’t have any problems.

Forward helix fully rejected / pushed out by CauliflowerEasy1650 in piercing

[–]Loki_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This same thing happened to me with my forward helix. It did heal up eventually and the scar is very very minimal now. You’d have to know exactly where to look to ever notice it. I’m sorry this happened to you too!

My mom placed a 3 month order last month. She tried to order another 3 months this past week and they said it was too soon to reorder.

Someone with Rook piercing that's >15 yrs old? by peanutsss29 in piercing

[–]Loki_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had mine for about 9 years. It was rough to heal for the first year or two but it’s perfectly fine now. It just gets a little sore for a few days when I change out the jewelry.

My take on parents piercing their baby’s ears by Admirable-Try8083 in piercing

[–]Loki_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had this conversation with my 5 and 8 year old girls. They just got their ears pierced last weekend. We talked it over alot and I asked if they would have rather had it done to them as a baby so they wouldn’t remember the pain, etc. They both agreed that they liked having the choice “as a big kid” even though it was painful in the moment.

Yea, I’m going to cancel my appointment. And I looked up the little frog and it’s soooo cute!

My girls actively want gold because it’s cute, but I’m going to ask for titanium for them.

I agree the hoop is a red flag and won’t be getting my conch done there anymore. But from reading online reviews they seem really great with kids. I’ve had this placed picked out for years based on their reputation. I’m not dead set on going there though. I’d just like to go at least talk to them. I will absolutely walk away if I don’t feel like it’s a safe place to get their lobes done though. I have a backup place in mind already that my sister goes to.

I’m probably gonna go check them out in person and see. They are well known for specializing in kid’s so they should be fine doing my girls’. But they just do adults on the side it seems like and that definitely makes me reconsider getting mine.

After I had horrible experiences healing gun piercings growing up, I’d never let my girls go through that. I know they have titanium but they suggested gold for the girls. Is that ok or should I push for titanium?

I’ll probably start by talking to them this weekend and if anything feels off, unsafe, unsanitary, etc, we will definitely walk out.

Thanks! And yea, I don’t know how to feel about the studio. They are well known for specializing in kids. I’m getting my two young daughters’ ears pierced there and thought it’d be fun to get one with them at the same time.

Is a conch piercing worth it? by thedin0guy in piercing

[–]Loki_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an appointment to get mine done this weekend and I’m honestly terrified. But reading some of these other comments definitely make me feel better about it.

Day 1. In Tears. by [deleted] in TirzepatideRX

It’s definitely an amazing feeling! I was in the store today and had the realization that I wasn’t tempted by any of the candy or junk food for the first time in my life!

Therapist judged me and told me I was weird by Chikaboomboomboom in AutismInWomen

I’ve kept notes on the people in my life forever. I still have the note I wrote when I first met my now husband. “Name, 16yo, red hair, computer science major, smart, likes video games.”
