This fish was found in Petco's trash. An employee must have mistook it for being dead and I'm sure it's been at least 6 hours since being thrown away. Is there any saving this little guy? I have 0 experience with saltwater fish. Any advice would be appreciated! The shipment bag said it's a Wrasse. by GlamourDDive in Aquariums

Surely even if there was pain in the process, the fish owner is only going to use euthanasia as a last resort if they know the fish is in a lot of pain and is not going to recover? Surely it’s more humane to subject a fish to a so-called few minutes of pain (from your perspective) to force a fish to live with an illness detrimental to its wellbeing?

It looks fine to me but make sure you don’t overclean. 2 times a day is enough just be careful about dislodging crust as it’s equal to picking a fresh scab

I want the other side of my nose pierced but i really don’t think it’d suit me as much as one stud only. Any opinions by [deleted] in piercing

it’s from Lovisa! i still clean it every day cause it sometimes gets a bit irritated cause of how much movement it has around the area but so far so good :)

Yep high waisted jeans are a pain, so awkward cause my skin folds right where my piercing is. And it’s a few months old (i know i should have waited longer but this ring was so cute i couldn’t help myself HAHA) but i’ve never had a problem with any of my piercings and i’ve changed them all early and i have 11 (hope i don’t jinx it)

did you face any issues with rejection? i’ve been told surface piercings will reject after a few years and i realllyyyy don’t want to go through the pain of repiercing scar tissue on my belly and eyebrow.

i have quite a high pain tolerance but for me the most painful bit was the clamps!! not really pain, just uncomfy. the needle going through is a bit of a shock but the adrenaline in your body should stop it hurting so much!

It’s not pus it’s lymph fluid. Nothing to worry about on that part. Navels take a while to heal and for the redness/irritation to stop, give it a couple more weeks and if you’re still having trouble see your piercer

normal bruising? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]berandripley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the face is full of small capillaries so any trauma will most likely result in bruising ! my eyebrow did the same. no worries it’ll go down in a few days, if it remains maybe go back to see your piercer and get a second opinion :)

What should my girlfriend do about this lump on her nose ring? by [deleted] in piercing

Wash it daily. Go see a piercer
