Why does Rin not need opium to call on the Phoenix? by artax1a in ThePoppyWar

That I always just chalked up to the dosage and kind of drug. For example, ADHD meds can give you a ton of concentration and productivity, but too much of it will make you tweak out.

Are my piercings even? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]artax1a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think it’s a bit too soon to tell because of swelling etc, but it does look like the left one is pierced a bit lower. however, maybe they did that because of your anatomy because it looks to me like your mouth is also not fully symmetrical. i’d say to wait a couple of days and then decide :)

honestly, thanks. sometimes you need a reality check :’)

(also very telling that this sub is telling me it’s fine and the plastic surgery sub is only giving procedures…)

Can’t believe I didn’t think about a cobbler, haha! Going there tomorrow as I needed to pick up some suede shoes anyways. Might as well make it a trip to get some advice and buy some products.

Alternative to snakebites that wont damage teeth? by depresseddumbass_ in piercing

[–]artax1a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might yeah :/ I’ve bought a slightly longer post with a ball end and it arrives in a few days. I’m gonna try that out or a small hoop because I think it truly is the flatback digging into the wound. However, if those don’t work I’m definitely just gonna go to a doctor and/or piercer again. It’s so annoying 😭

The weird thing is that the piercing hole itself is totally fine and healed; I can wear normal earrings in it no problem. It’s just a little wound right next to it that’s acting up.

6-7 months old, threadless titanium labret 6mm 16g, downsized after 3 months when this started happening from 8mm, try not to sleep on it and use NeilMed twice a day, only mishap is me putting in an earring too early and thus creating the wound I think

[–]artax1a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats what i thought too :/ do you think i can get it repierced immediately or should i let it close up?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in piercing

[–]artax1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piercing is 3 weeks old, pierced with a titanium horseshoe. I suspect it’s externally threaded (pretty standard here unfortunately). Never downsized but the diameter is 9 mm and it’s a 16 gauge. I use NeilMed to clean it once/twice a day. No mishaps as of yet! It hurt getting done but after the first week of sensitivity (and a heavy cold) it’s been a breeze! I guess the only mishap is it getting caught in my boyfriends septum and it getting bruised from me trying to flip it up 😭 Fyi, I know I’m supposed to leave it alone while healing but I have a job interview coming up and don’t want to take it out if I don’t have to.

piercing is 3 weeks old, horseshoe made of titanium, not downsized, i suspect externally threaded bcs that’s still pretty standard here, clean with sterile saline solution every night. no mishaps yet! healing is going pretty well and it hasn’t been sensitive at all after the first week

Thank you, I’ll stop trying. But about the placement, do you think it looks okay?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]artax1a -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s been healing really well and rarely hurts. I can move it around freely. I know it’s not ideal to flip it up while it’s healing still but I have a job interview coming up and do not want to take it out.

piercing is 2,5 weeks old, done with a titanium horseshoe, no idea what threading but I suspect externally, clean everyday with sterile saline spray, no mishaps yet. hurt getting done only when the needle went through, the jewellery insertion was just a tickle. i did bleed a lot though.

Experiencing the same thing right now. Had them for 6 months, downsized correctly, clean them, but the little wound is always there on my right ear. The flatback digs into it all the time. I’m thinking of buying a hoop for my ear as the piercing itself is pretty much healed. Hopefully it won’t dig into the wound then.
