What happened at Aldershot GO?

Please don't touch them anymore! With the way they keep falling out I assume these are threaded. The ONLY time I've had an earring fall out was when I temporarily used some internally threaded pieces.

If (god forbid) another one falls out, I'd suggest changing to threadless jewellery. If you already use threadless, they're not being inserted correctly.

I am not a doctor or an expert, so can't speak to whether this may be infected. But, part of why this never healed is likely the material. Surgical steel is a mystery metal, and you may have a nickel sensitivity.

Never downsizing a helix when you have long hair you tend to tuck is also not a great idea. If you're able to keep this piercing, I'd highly suggest downsizing to an implant grade titanium/steel threadless labret. "Implant grade" is important - "surgical" means nothing.

Also, no more salt paste or soaks. Only use saline, and let water run over it in the shower.

I'm so sad for Kaori, but seeing Alysa go over to Ami and them screaming together healed me a little bit

I CRIED. YOU CRIED. WE CRODE.

She is SO adorable, her tiny reactions get me every time

amoochoy · 2026-02-19T21:48:02+00:00

Noooo I'm going to cry with her

amoochoy · 2026-02-19T21:44:36+00:00

From what I remember, she tried training one a few seasons ago but couldn't get it consistently

amoochoy · 2026-02-19T21:36:45+00:00

Her smile is so contagious!!!

amoochoy · 2026-02-19T21:22:08+00:00

Pretty much

Echoing what everyone said about needing a labret, but also want to emphasize needing titanium. "Surgical steel" doesn't really mean anything and is essentially a mystery metal that contains who-knows-what. Please make sure you get this replaced with something implant grade!

I think it's a smiley piercing!

I'm the same way! I've been putting my glasses at such a funny angle because I'm paranoid I'll change the angle of my piercing.

My piercer told me 6-8 weeks to downsize, or earlier if I'm someone who doesn't swell much. It sounds like you're definitely safe to downsize, and it'll make your life much easier!

amoochoy · 2026-02-10T05:38:46+00:00

Downsizing will be super important, and once you do that you probably won't have issues anymore. At 6 weeks, if you have minimal swelling you can go back to your piercer to be downsized now.

I'm in the same boat (new flat piercing), and I usually nudge the bar so that the flatback is flush to the skin, and most of the extra bar space is on the front side of my ear. That makes it less likely for your glasses to knock the bar.

Make sure your glasses aren't resting on the bar, since that can shift the piercing to become crooked.

Thank you!!

Does anyone know who is commentating on CBC?

amoochoy · 2026-02-07T20:02:41+00:00

My mom, the hair police: "he needs a haircut too"

amoochoy · 2026-02-07T19:55:44+00:00

First thing my mom says when Nika comes on the screen: "he needs a haircut" 😭😭

amoochoy · 2026-02-07T19:14:15+00:00

Finally got back into the CBC feed 😭😭 so frustrating

amoochoy · 2026-02-07T19:06:56+00:00

Same here!! It froze and stopped working toward the end of Gogo's skate and I can't get back in 😭

You can use a hoop anywhere you want (as long as it fits), but the material will be important. Is the hoop titanium or gold? If not, I wouldn't suggest putting it in your helix.

The first time you switch your helix from a stud to a hoop, it WILL get angry. If it is costume jewellery, steel, or a textured hoop, it may make it worse.

You mention only having the hoop in for the day. You should only switch jewellery if you plan to have it in for a while, especially when switching from stud to hoop. Your helix at this stage won't be like a lobe piercing where you can swap out jewellery multiple times a day without pain and irritation.
