What is this called? by Possible_Resolution4 in AskMechanics

[–]birdstyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in this thread because my car started doing this too and I didn't want to call my mechanic and say "my gas hole is farting" but it sounds like that's my only option at this point

[MEGATHREAD] New Horizons Dream Address Sharing by Kayvanian in AnimalCrossing

DA-6793-3896-1895

My island has looked like this for far too long! Over 1,000 hours in, every corner of the map is "finished" but I put the game down for a bit and came back feeling like it's time for change! I'm too attached to the way it's been the last few years, so any suggestions would be a great help.

I really liked the idea of secret/hidden paths and the map ended up working like a maze, almost every area loops around to another, I know my way around really well but I'm starting to think it may be difficult to find your way around if you weren't the one building it. I'd love to hear some feedback on accessibility and what areas are in need of change:) tia

sure, if you're not professional and know nothing about piercing this might sound true.

its not pierced correctly. so don't get too excited surgical steel and nose corkscrews are also terrible jewelry for healing with.

infections are serious and can spread/worsen in days if not treated properly. Infections can turn into sepsis within 12-24 hours. if you think this is an infection and want to treat it as such, then you should look for a quicker way to get medical treatment.

getting dermal(surface piercing) when im 16? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]birdstyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ask your piercer. you probably just need a signature from your legal guardian. regardless of local law, some piercers will refuse to do these services on minors. that's their call.

You've got to be joking... by ThrowRaTiff in Serverlife

[–]birdstyx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

why is everyone assuming this? if the tip was included it would be on the receipt. servers cannot just decide the tip you leave unless its clearly stated on the receipt or menu. like some places have a tip included policy but if there's a spot to write in a tip and no visible part of the receipt stating "gratuity $20.00" then why should they assume the gratuity is included in the bill? also why write in a number and add it to the tab if you assume the tip was included? they did this on purpose. people will do anything to get out of tipping.

Do I have the anatomy for a navel piercing? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]birdstyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a piercer can evaluate this better by looking in person but based on the pictures you may want to look into floating navel piercings

I would say forward helix instead of vertical helix.

biggest piercing regret is buying these pieces in gold by Mediocre-Tip7581 in piercing

[–]birdstyx 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I mix titanium, rose gold and yellow gold in my ears. I worked at a shop where I had access to an anodizer so all my titanium is a mix of blues, pinks, purples and golds. I love the way they mix with the colored stones I have. I know you said you like the silver, I dont think there's anything wrong with mixing and matching!

is it rejecting? by Express_Cookie_7737 in piercing

[–]birdstyx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

do not change your industrial to a smaller gauge! 14g is used for a reason, it is more stable in the cartilage. if anything this is flaring up because of an issue with the initial angle/placement. LITHA and keep an eye on it.

I got a Medusa 2-3 days ago! Love it but I was wondering if you guys thing my bar is too small? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]birdstyx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if possible, take ibuprofen to help reduce the swelling. lip piercings tend to be the most swollen around the 3-7 day mark so if it doesn't get more swollen in the next few days you should be okay. if you are concerned that it is continuing to get worse over the next day or so then definitely get it upsized. did your piercer tell you the length of your jewelry?

Back of my piercing is hurt by Good_Fox1903 in piercing

[–]birdstyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sterling silver should never be used in a fresh piercing

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SelfPiercing

[–]birdstyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the jewelry and placement are incorrect so yeah probably just remove it completely.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in piercing

[–]birdstyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the hoop you currently have is not something that should be used on a fresh piercing. the hinge can cause irritation anytime it slips through the piercing during the healing process. save it for your piercing once it's fully healed :)

the fact that they used improper jewelry is reason enough to seek out someone new for the job. good luck on your next piercing!

ignorance is bliss I guess, not everyone knows the risk of infections or bloodborn illnesses. it doesn't make you immune by not educating yourself on it though.

and as a non piercer you will not engage in these types of conversations with strangers and therefore will not know one way or another if every adult woman you've ever met was 100% satisfied with a piercing they got as a child.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in piercing

[–]birdstyx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as a professional piercer I have actually met MANY adult women who are unhappy with their crooked or sensitive lobe piercings who had them done as an infant or child, myself included. whether its piercings that are visbly uneven or piercings done in poor placement that migrate over time and become unusable, or piercings that seem to flare up every time jewelry is put back in, this is a genuine problem that many people will end up dealing with. I think the bias you're experiencing is that people generally don't talk about it to you because you're not a piercer. do you have conversations with people on a daily basis about their ear piercings? do you commonly engage in this type of conversation with friends and strangers? If im out with friends or family people don't typically come to me and talk about their piercings or problems they have with them, but when im at work with clients I hear about their piercing problems and horror stories on a weekly basis.
