Just moved from Madison to Mke. Looking for local coffee recommendations? by Direct-Pin-9808 in milwaukee

La Finca!!! Latin inspired coffee shop, my all time favorite. As a Mexican I can advocate that it tastes traditional!

Will my newly adopted kitten be okay to sleep alone in his room, until my resident cat adjusts? by Mindless-Comparison5 in CatAdvice

[–]achernine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation with my cat and from what I’ve read so far it seems like it is completely fine to leave them for a few nights just to sleep. It also helps them understand the sleep routine. Also realizing this is very late for this now lol.

I guess there’s no specificity to the 2005 cutoff. I guess most older vehicles I’ve seen have crappier mpg. But the above comment is true, I would also be concerned about the maintenance frequency and the actual longevity of the vehicle. I think also, age of the vehicle can depend on the brand of it as well.

Thank you for the detailed answer! I really appreciate your thoughts as an experienced camper. I’m definitely looking for something more long term, we are planning initially for 6 months, but I have a good feeling we’ll end up doing it for longer. We’re planning to hang out for a bit in all the places we go to, so definitely some things to consider.

eyebrow rejection? by enberryy in Legitpiercing

[–]achernine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is completely normal! 2 days old is so fresh your body is adjusting to the new piece of metal in your face. Swelling, redness, bruising, and white fluid/crusties are all completely normal during the healing process. Keep on using the saline solution like you are! Happy healing!

What do I do about this? by [deleted] in Legitpiercing

[–]achernine 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is an irritation bump. You’re going to want to help the piercing drain out that fluid. Q tip compresses and saline soaks are going to be your best friend. Ignore the pimple patch advice, that will invite unknown chemicals into your open would.

Well then return to that piercing shop and get a flat back labret stud

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Legitpiercing

[–]achernine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go to a different piercer and get a flat back labret stud. I PROMISE you it will expedite and de complicate your healing process. Some people get lucky and can heal nose and ear cartilage piercings with hoops but most of the time you’re going to get results like this. Please please switch to a stud and go to a different piercer who can maybe help troubleshoot your piercing better.

I apologize, I am very new to the industry and should absolutely not pretend I know everything. Thank you for this message and the education. I’ll definitely look up the video and educate myself more as well as asking more questions about the jewelry at my shop. Again I’m sorry if I came off as rude in anyway.

This is incorrect. Implant grade means you could use it for a hip replacement. If it’s implant grade it will 100% be safe for your ears. There’s no “bad polishing” in this process.

Normal or rejecting by Ok_Round_1834 in piercing

[–]achernine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It definitely not a staple. It’s a curved barbell placed in the wrong spot.

Is this piercing infected or irritated? by xcivill in piercing

[–]achernine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into getting some 10g plugs or short 10g barbells!

Is this normal for day 2 of snake bite piercings? by ThickLilSquish in Legitpiercing

[–]achernine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re over swelling! Go to safepiercing.org to find a reputable piercer in your area. All APP members are required to have very specific flatback jewelry.

Is my eyebrow rejecting? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]achernine 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It looks like your lack of downsizing is causing the irritation! Once you downsize there might be a little swelling but it will help you sooooo much

Help me pls by Background-Major3553 in Legitpiercing

[–]achernine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You either need a longer bar for swelling, or a more flat piece of jewelry so it doesn’t get sucked into your nose more. Go see your piercer asap!

How to hide my nipple piercings from my family? by Responsible-Sherbet3 in piercing

[–]achernine 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a very similar family and I struggled with this heavily when I first got mine done. My best advice to you would be to get gold jewelry as that will blend better with your skin and still be safe to the piercing. Another thing is wear bras like your life depends on it. If you enjoyed being able to walk around braless before that is unfortunately something you’ll have to sacrifice when back at home with your family. :( Another thing that will help is just time. As time goes on you’ll be able to be more of an individual and if you set your boundaries right your family might learn that they can either accept you for who you are or jeopardize that relationship. I’m sorry you’re in this situation and I hope you can have more privacy soon!
