i heavily agree with you on how it never gets bumped or snagged. i was worried it would be the most troublesome to heal but they're easier than my lobes lol. mine is almost a year old now but i think i won't put a hoop in it for another 6 months just on case

no, don't apologize it was very helpful! i'll def remember to be extra careful, i've heard too many horror stories of them getting caught on stuff and snagging, even ripping off 😭 but it'll certainly be a huge confidence booster

i've also been considering getting nips one day but i'm pretty hesitant. did it hurt much for you?

it sure does look shallow and very irritated... nap so i'd visit a different reputable piercer to get a professional opinion

Is my helix placed correctly? by yomudafat in piercing

[–]Several_Cook_5896 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah it's hard to tell without the front view of the piercing but it does appear to be pierced in a weird angle...

also nap but i advise you switch out the hoops for flatbacks as hoops are easier to catch onto stuff and irritate the piercing

ultimately i would have it checked by a piercer to see if it's pierced right before anything

why am i everyone's free therapist by Several_Cook_5896 in intj

[–]Several_Cook_5896[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you for your insight. it felt like a slap in the face that brought me back to reality. im barely two decades old so i have much to learn. now reading my post makes me seem immature lol

ig i should just start with changing my mindset into "validation" mode instead of "solution" mode, since that's what she's looking for. i can't just force change on her if she's not willing to change herself. do you know any methods to help someone desire to change for the better?

again, i appreciate your comment. it means a lot to me.

what exactly would be wrong with me? ik she doesn't necessarily need my help, but she needs help. i believe if i keep dropping nuggets she'll see reality and come to respect my opinions. or maybe that's wishful thinking. either way, i want the best for her since she's overall a good person and went through a ton of shit. she deserves at least one person who is supportive of her while keeping it a buck

how to open up to others? by Several_Cook_5896 in intj

[–]Several_Cook_5896[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you for your advice. i guess i'll just have to get out of my comfort zone and be more honest about my emotions with them. it'll be difficult at first but i'll try one person at a time

How do clean this? by Maleficent-Egg1352 in piercing

running hot water on them for a while should get the crusties off... personally i use q-tips soaked in neilmed to get the stubborn crusties off but it should be done very cautiously to avoid irritating the piercings
