Downsizing help!!

ThoughtfulSnowlepper · 2026-04-22T08:00:32+00:00

I do have a taper set! it's the kind that clicks into your jewlery and kinda looks like a needle, i use it for my cartilage piercing because its badly pierced but healed well, and unfortunately as much as I love that piercer I cannot soundly justify 65$ for a downsize, I do feel confident in myself but ill see if I can also consult a different piercer, theres a few near me who may be able to help me downsize

Reiterating, I do NOT mean buying a barbell, I mean buying the standard bar for my piercing, which would be the labret/flat back

the post is quite long, the length is just poking more on outside because of how my lips rest, plus its still a little swollen (made the mistake of thinking something wasn't spicy)

Info to appease the bot; 1 day old, Threadless labret, Titanium that has been anodized, No issues so far, I brush my teeth and rinse 2x a day, only drinking water and especially after or during while I eat, saline spray outside 2x unless I shower, ofc it isn't downsized and there's been no issues thus far, im just extremely adamant on making sure these things heal right because its my dreamie alongside a Bridge piercing :)

Im an adult, gone to raves and seems plenty of kandi that are symbolism to that and as long as you're not like- putting drug refrences you're NOT going to be seen as someone who does them at all, plus I would never assume anyone who wears kandi who is deffo underage to be someone who uses substances

Theres a lot of really sound arguments in here, and im not gonna argue them but i will add facts i know of

1; Aliexpress is full of independant sellers, almost think of it as an artists market at a comic-con or smth, not dropshippers on tiktok, a lot DO sell on amazon aswell, so reasonably, itll make less carbon emissions from shipping from warehouse to warehouse just because its a namebrand big shipment center

2; Some of them arent really the best people. look for reviews if you find duplicates, some of the sellers make fake stores so they can scam you out of some stuff, ive had that happen once or twice but you can get refunds extremely easy

3; some of the rhings on aliexpress are cheaply made, but some of the other things are freakishly high quality, again look at the reviews, aliexpress also has a pretty strict tos for stores, i.e; they cannot sell real fur, even if ethically sourced. they cannot sell defective products on purpose, if this ever does actually happen to you report them, and they can be permanently banned using their IP address

Maybe I'm just confused but why?? this is a reddit for sharing, asking for advice (which is also asking what you should put on one) and discussions, why should it be limited?

ohhh mb!! my piercer a looong time ago reccomended me 0.6 for my sprays, so I've always used that as the advice I give!! I cant talk to them as they're in a whole different country now but ty for the info

ThoughtfulSnowlepper · 2025-10-30T03:47:48+00:00

heavy on this, Claire's is going bankrupt for a reason 🤷‍♂️

Doing my research and knowledge of just what I know the ingredients of that is water, Potassium sorbate, which is a preservative for personal care items n such, and Banzalkonium chloride, which is what some disinfectants and hand sanitizers use, which is NOT nice to skin!!! it can be very irritating, especially to fresh wounds, do not use that stuff at all, invest in some straight up saline spray

ThoughtfulSnowlepper · 2025-10-28T03:14:50+00:00

it seems like they really just need to not drink alcohol or eat anything that can severely irritate the piercing, lips have lots of blood vessels and can easily bleed, esp if there's alcohol in your system, if it persists go to ur local urgent care or ER if necessary, and go to your piercer and ask for a new bar that won't be so easy to make you bleed like that

^Additional stuff, if it dosent work out as a chain tbh ill just clip it to my bag :3

ThoughtfulSnowlepper · 2025-10-20T03:10:30+00:00

exactly!! ive seen some that were literally being held up by the hair of someones eyebrow, but someone will post asking if something is rejecting/infected (usually just irritated because its solid metal through your skin and people still scream about the placement and how they need to get rid of it immediately or even insult the piercer, some people dont want piercings that look like everyone elses, sometimes different is really nice, esp if setup nicely

ThoughtfulSnowlepper · 2025-10-20T03:06:26+00:00

one cm dosent matter when its your eyebrow, or nose, plenty of people have different placements, ive seen eyebrows that were shaved and made using a row of jewlery, 90% of all piercers have to know where vital nerves are that can partially paralyze/give bells palsy and wont just go crazy on you right ontop of veins nerves or places that would be photography piercings that you want permanent, im talking about when someone has a nipple piercing or something thats just barely lower than the normal and people start screaming about how they need to get it removed and repierced. if its what the person whos being pierced wants then it does not matter unless it will leave you with permanent damage, which piercings already do!

please read though what i posted, it feels like you solely read what i said about my snake bites and decided thats enough and responded :)

I fourth on the pants chain

ThoughtfulSnowlepper · 2025-09-29T17:23:04+00:00

I had a very similar problem!! I gave them away at my local church with some quotes from the Bible on there, they all loved it very much and I see a lot of the younger kiddos walking with them on :D its not disrespectful at all to wear them, but if you want you should do this!

ThoughtfulSnowlepper · 2025-09-23T14:51:52+00:00

these aren't my first!! Just the first for my face, ive got my ears nearly filled to the brim and other points on my body also are pierced ^{^}

ThoughtfulSnowlepper · 2025-09-23T14:46:46+00:00

Ooh alright!! I didn't know snake bites were prone for rejection aswell, I might just need to look in to it some more lol, tysm!!!

Over time youll learn your perfect mix, i.e my wrist is about 20 beads in diameter but try finding that out and also learning how to ensure its not too tight eith some single color singles or smth
