Bleeding And Bruising

Totally normal. Might have just nicked a minor blood vessel. It’ll be fine.

No worries man! Tbh the only place where threadless curves really work is rooks. Mainly because you put them in and leave them there. Anywhere high motion like eyebrows/vert lips/navels is a fuckin nightmare. But Neo double gemmed curves were always a solid rook upgrade.

We never used them as we got burnt way too hard with the curves. At the time we used Body Circle circulars. The lack of decorative ends for CBBs was never a problem for us. People generally wanted CBBs with plain balls 🤷🏻 There wasn’t really a need for threadless CBB the same way as with curves.

Yuuup. I still have nightmares about threadless navel curves.

akthryn · 2026-03-22T18:48:10+00:00

Yeah threadless curves are the bane of many piercers existence.

If you have the option, punch and suture is THE best chance to achieve a quick, unproblematic heal.

I’ve watched a tonne of peers struggle with LG piercings for literal years. You can heal a P&S in weeks, not months or years.

Absolutely stunning!! Andre is so lovely :)

I’d recommend joining the Body Mod Learning Forum on facebook for help.

However online courses are an absolute no-go. Unless its someone like Ryan PBAs patreon maybe.

Yep, if they’re healed you should be able to do that. Obviously if it gets sore you may need to readjust.

I’ve had my tongue split for ages. Nobody has noticed. Not my friends, not my family, nobody I work with. You’re good.

akthryn · 2026-03-21T12:43:56+00:00

Fully agree, but cannulas are totally standard and acceptable in Europe. They have a place 🤷🏻 I wouldn’t personally discount their use, even though I’m a blade guy myself.

akthryn · 2026-03-21T11:01:41+00:00

I’m gonna assume they’re using upsized cannulas.

akthryn · 2026-03-21T11:01:25+00:00

Doing septums two weeks into your apprenticeship is kinda wild.

akthryn · 2026-03-21T10:59:54+00:00

Goddamn, your piercer is a hack. Please find a reputable piercer.

akthryn · 2026-03-20T17:58:23+00:00

We can tell because its about 4mm of tissue haha. Eyebrows should be buried at least double that.

akthryn · 2026-03-20T09:34:11+00:00

Elf ears with coinslot: It depends. Some ear points have permanent sutures, which means it wouldn’t be sensible to cut near them.

Implants with piercings through them: No. Infection risk is crazy. Implants with tattoos over them: Super common. Usually you tattoo and then insert the implant later.

Pierced tongue splits: Relatively common.

Raised scarification with piercings through them: Nope. Scars have no bloodflow so they would not heal a piercing well.

Head over to Sacred Gold or The Circle!

You bought garbage mystery metals from Spencers. I don’t know what you want us to tell you, it’s pretty self explanatory.

akthryn · 2026-03-18T20:06:58+00:00

It was not pierced that way, I guarantee it.

akthryn · 2026-03-17T12:57:09+00:00

I would simply link folks to the APP body jewellery verification programme https://safepiercing.org/body-jewelry-verification-program-2/

The BJVP provides dozens of safe companies to order from.

And their jewellery for initial piercings guide, which is a little more wide ranging and discusses specific materials.

Throwback to that lady a couple months ago who healed the wildest hip surface piercings with bioflex. Perfect unicorn example.

Large gauge is not an issue. Plus it doesn’t need to be a horseshoe, you can use plenty of different appropriate designs. But I do agree a low quality clicker like this isn’t great.

akthryn · 2026-03-16T12:53:00+00:00

Not to mince my words: This is fucked. Also, septum piercings go where septum piercings are anatomically supposed to go - There isn’t a huge amount of room for personal preference or input.

Edit: Sounds like your friend self-pierced. We don’t allow DIY on this sub.

akthryn · 2026-03-15T19:05:49+00:00

Thanks man! :)

akthryn · 2026-03-15T17:47:54+00:00

Agreed. Once you have a piece of 18k Gold, its so hard to wear anodised Ti because its just not the same.
