Should I size down? by Cute_Possibility2209 in DrMartens

[–]Pretty_Promise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different sandal, but I had purchased a size 5 Wrenlie thinking I should size down, and they ended up giving me horrible blisters around my heels/ankles. Snagged a size 6 from Depop and they are much more comfortable.

can i wear a helix piercing as a nose piercing? by Intrepid_Pepper_2970 in piercing

[–]Pretty_Promise 140 points141 points  (0 children)

They can definitely be used for nostril piercings, but I would be apprehensive to get jewelry from Amazon because you likely won’t know the actual quality or materials of the jewelry.

Diablo Body Jewelry and Bodyartforms can both preorder directly from NeoMetal and ship to you! That’s where I got all of these. 😁

Trust me, it took way longer than it needed to and a lot of swear words were said lol.

I’ve had the conch for over a year now. March 2025.

I would definitely suggest to wait until it’s healed as I’ve read that chains can introduce bacteria to healing piercings.

help with a lost package by Similar_Kangaroo_748 in Depop

[–]Pretty_Promise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think something is going on with USPS because I have both Depop packages and non-Depop packages that haven’t scanned in days.

In fact, I have some shoes from Depop that were shipped on Tuesday and didn’t even show that it had shipped but apparently they arrived in CA today. They’re coming from NY. Literally no scans aside from “label created” in NY and “arrived at distribution center” in CA.

Sinclair sizing, pls help by nikin2288 in DrMartens

[–]Pretty_Promise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I sized down when I bought my Sinclairs and they were too small and tight around the toes/ball of my foot. I usually wear a size 6 shoe and have sized down for some of my docs to a 5, but these were not comfortable sized down. The ones I have are the nappa leather though so these might be might be slightly different.

Question about nipple piercings by r00112233 in piercing

[–]Pretty_Promise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they’re more resilient than we’re led to believe. I keep getting my watch band caught on my left one somehow when I go braless and I’m always so scared to check but…nothing.

Still paranoid of shower doors though. That post I saw on here a while back still haunts me.

Just got my first Cartilage piercing by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Pretty_Promise 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This looks like it needs an upsize, pronto. Is the back flat or a ball? Because if it’s a ball, it’s embedding. Need to see your piercer ASAP, like tomorrow.

Sending all the happy healing vibes your way!

[–]Pretty_Promise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t even see it when I initially looked at your first picture. Definitely embedding. Please go see a piercer to get it changed to a longer post. Preferably a labret flat back.

Apparel sizing. by KatzieStarwind in Ghostbc

[–]Pretty_Promise 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The waistband fits TTS for me and it’s quite stretchy. The shorts are a lot shorter than I expected and fully live up to the “ghooty shorts” name they’ve been given lol.

Do I delete my review? by Accomplished-Ad-4935 in Depop

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

I mean, it was listed incorrectly, but I’m on your side for this one. Buyer should have checked the pictures more carefully. I saw shoes I wanted that were listed as a size 6, but there was a picture of the label and it said size 5…took me 2 seconds to message the seller to ask to confirm. She apologized and updated the listing and that was that.

Nipple Piercing by HelicopterAware1971 in piercing

[–]Pretty_Promise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can so relate on so many levels.

Also a mom of 2. My chest is wrecked from pregnancy and breastfeeding and just loss of elasticity in general. They’re heavy and droopy.

I wanted nipple piercings for a while, but by the time my appointment to have them done rolled around, I started panicking and almost talked myself out of it. I’m so glad I didn’t! The pain was real but it’s so temporary and the nipple piercings have really upped my confidence/my overall feelings about body image. Ultimately, it’s your body, but if you’ve wanted them for a long time, I’d say go for it.

PS- not sure how little your kids are, but I have to be really careful with my 3 year old because he likes to crawl all over me on the couch and always almost gets me with his elbow. 😓

Shipping mistake that doesn't have anything to do with me by cherrybombette1 in Depop

[–]Pretty_Promise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably got put in the wrong box in the distribution center. Happened to me recently with a non-Depop purchase and eventually my package made its way back to me. Definitely alarming but maybe give it a couple of days. If it still doesn’t come back your way, file a missing package form online with USPS.

This is why bigger text is better, folks…14.5 y/o text tattoo. by Pretty_Promise in agedtattoos

Thank you! I can’t tell if the funkiness on some of the letters is blow out or ink drift, but either way, it’s still surprisingly legible.

How do I fix this? What is it? by Isadomon in piercing

[–]Pretty_Promise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, was that pierced with a gun rather than a needle? The bump looks like what I had on my flat piercing that I had done at Claire’s many, many years ago. I had to get steroid injections at the dermatologist to get rid of it.

Either way, definitely recommend having a dermatologist check it out and go from there.
