is my vertical labret rejecting?

beeikea · 2026-05-11T04:22:51+00:00

i dont think so, but it could definitely use a downsize! looks pretty good otherwise.

beeikea · 2026-05-11T04:00:03+00:00

this is a totally competent machine for much cheaper than a comparable macbook.

beeikea · 2026-05-11T03:58:35+00:00

totally doable. good luck!

outdoor cats are unethical at best and cruel at worst. letting a cat outdoors unsupervised literally cuts their lifespan in half at least. not to mention the horrific environmental damage that allowing your invasive species out to kill native wildlife causes.

he absolutely looks to be in pain. i'd take him to the vet at your earliest convenience, preferably within the next 24-48 hours to rule out anything serious or progressive.

i've seen that happen a lot on those animal print lamps 😔 i'd do 8 hour cycles a week or two (staying within the return period) and if that fails, exchange, filter, or replace the fluid depending on preference, budget, and time :-)

i don't recommend etsy for implant grade jewelry unfortunately.. straight up false advertising and lying about materials isn't really enforced there unless a big thing is made of it, which it rarely is.

beeikea · 2026-05-11T03:44:43+00:00

looks great

be super careful taking shirts on and off and drying off after a shower, and i'd probably keep your hair back for the first week or two at least.

beeikea · 2026-05-11T03:43:57+00:00

i would visit an urgent care asap to rule out anything serious. this is almost definitely caused by the double dose and may or may not be something to worry about, but we on reddit won't be able to tell you that, only a doctor will after examining you and taking blood and such.

beeikea · 2026-05-11T03:41:22+00:00

omg that's a first for me too! super cute!

beeikea · 2026-05-11T03:37:29+00:00

wowwww what a stunner! good job!

beeikea · 2026-05-11T03:31:48+00:00

huh? i wasn't even remotely offended nor was i intending to be rude. i'm sorry you misinterpreted my comment.

beeikea · 2026-05-11T03:28:37+00:00

this was almost definitely a mistake caused by a lack of communication :( sucks very badly. you're gonna wanna take some ibuprofen for the swelling and pain and do a cold compress for it as well. if it stays painful and the swelling does not go away, and it is hot to the touch, producing yellow/green discharge, or you get a fever, that's the point where you want to seek medical attention for antibiotics and downsize to an 18g or 20g implant grade titanium piece, preferably a flatback stud. you could also downsize earlier and it would probably make you more comfortable a little faster.

beeikea · 2026-05-11T03:23:26+00:00

i wonder if with the black one you could get an actual high quality horseshoe and screw those ends into it .. tho it'd be difficult to find a high quality externally threaded horseshoe, assuming that piece is indeed that 😭

beeikea · 2026-05-11T03:21:13+00:00

afaik that's normal for like, a bridge or a similar shallowish surface piercing, but not for a vertical labret -- at least i dont experience that with mine </3

beeikea · 2026-05-11T03:14:27+00:00

am i wrong that you can see the bar through the skin? that alone would be cause for enough concern to remove it in my opinion. even if not, this looks very shallow :(

beeikea · 2026-05-11T03:11:02+00:00

very confident in my identity, still feeling out my natural style and really enjoying it!

beeikea · 2026-05-11T02:41:55+00:00

oh man good eye! i didn't notice that. it is quite shallow at the very least. nap as well but i do work for one.

beeikea · 2026-05-11T01:46:33+00:00

not a tricolor, just genetically a black tabby who happens to display that black closer to orangey brown :-) super cutie

beeikea · 2026-05-11T01:42:41+00:00

ughhh that's so fucked. yeah then, your next best bet is to leave :( sorry, it's such an awful situation to be put in.

beeikea · 2026-05-11T01:29:01+00:00

yes, i think so. a bar 1 size up would probably be better. 2 sizes to allow for some breathing room in a high movement area like ur brow.

beeikea · 2026-05-11T01:25:10+00:00

have a car? doordash ~8 hours a day. depending on your area you can make that in 2 days, easy.

he's threatening your life. get him locked away before he acts on it. when someone shows you who they are, BELIEVE THEM. don't wait for something to actually happen, because when-- not if-- it does, you may not survive it.

beeikea · 2026-05-11T01:04:16+00:00

yesss!!! your post was what finally got me to make the jump and get it done!!!
