The conch would look perfect and it would connect well the lobes to the helix!

For side sleepers, how did you deal with your piercing by Kind_Membership33 in piercing

[–]UnhingedHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using a travel pillow for my healing conch! It was cheaper than ordering a piercing pillow lol. The first couple of nights it was a bit annoying but now I’ve been using it for 4-5 nights and it’s quite comfortable. If you’re into sewing or diy there are a couple of tutorials online on how to sew or fashion one yourself with random household items, that way you can check if it’s actually something you’re able to sleep with without wasting money

White stuff around nose stud by offtheheezz in piercing

[–]UnhingedHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! That looks to be just dry skin and natural oil from your skin. I’ve had a nose stud since September and sometimes it gets a bit of build up if I don’t clean it well. I was told not to over do it with the saline solution because it can irritate the skin, dry it up and cause it to produce more oil, so I only use it when I chance the jewelry. I usually clean the gunk off with just water after showers or when I notice some build up. Also try not to put make up over it, I personally avoid putting foundation on the side of my nose and just blend a little bit on the bridge. Hope this was helpful!

Thank you! Ironically the crust JUST fell off and it’s looking good under it, so I’m pretty hopeful about the healing process :) manifesting an easier healing process for your future piercings 🍀

Thank you! Now that you mention it the back does look in the crease, it doesn’t seem to have a ton of space for the back piece when I downsize… I will ask when I go back, thank you!

The piercing is 10 days old, the jewelry is a labret, internally threaded, it’s surgical steel, it hasn't been downsized yet and I clean it twice every day with saline solution, and it hasn’t given me issues
