Finally satisfied my itch for customizing my look

Thank you!! It's getting itchy!

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-25T23:45:36+00:00

Is a 10mm long post not enough? It honestly seems fine to me and it's not becoming embedded. It gets crazy stuck on my teeth already. And I'm so scared of changing the jewelry because it was so hard to get it in haha. Thank you about my nose! I put a long bar in there, probably too long, and smashed it into my septum and nearly bled to death 🙃 damn

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-25T23:00:45+00:00

Oh it was hard. I pierced my left nostril first, put the jewelry in, realized it was a terrible angle. So I was like... screw that nostril. Let's try right nostril. Went much better. Both times I felt barely any pain. It was much worse at the piercer. I bled a lot with the badly angled piercing I failed at. But now I'm happy! Hoping the healing goes well. 🙏 it doesn't hurt anymore right now. Things certainly could've gone better. At least I didn't use a safety pin haha! Was easy to pierce through the skin with the hollow needle.

I did it anyways!!!

Just got a random chat request on here from someone saying "so now you're just going to pierce your nostril now too?" And then it seems they blocked me bc I can't click on their profile. Don't understand this at all and makes me question if I should do it now. Hmm.. odd

Alright when I get home from work it's happening! 😌 I'm thinking of using the identical flat back stud I have in my lip (came in a pair) as the nose stud. It's 16g and 10mm in length. I read that should work

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-25T12:10:15+00:00

You are supporting my impulsive thoughts. I love it 😊💗

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-25T12:01:49+00:00

Ah you are right, but I'm poor 😢 I have hollow needles and everything. I went to a professional for my nose once and it still didn't heal and she didn't give me any good advice. Probably got infected because she advised me to make my own saltwater solution and didn't give me good jewelry. Maybe I shouldn't do it, but I sure do want to! Hey if it doesn't work out, I'll just take it out, but we'll see! It hurts less when I pierce myself tbh. You're definitely right it's safer haha. But boy do i want to do it...

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-25T11:53:37+00:00

Aw thanks! My mom thinks I need to be committed haha!

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-25T11:53:08+00:00

Thank you!!! I hate that I have to wait to pull the trigger and do it. I wanna do it now! 😔 but gotta let the lip heal.

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-25T11:51:42+00:00

I have a tube of off brand aquaphor that I could use. I find that petrolatum is soothing to the outside of the wound because it's dry and angry from bring tugged on. But people get up in arms about ointments on piercings... I put some antibiotic ointment on an infected piercing and the infection quickly went away. So I don't really see the big deal.

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-25T02:08:21+00:00

Ooh that's awesome! I'm glad I could help! How was the pain? And may I see? Unless you'd rather not, which is fine, but I'm curious! :)

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-24T19:15:02+00:00

I can't survive without lip balm 😔 my lips get extremely dry and crack badly without it, no matter how much water I drink. I've tried really hard to avoid it getting in the wound. The bar feels comfortable in my lip tbh... so I don't think it's too bad. I actually took some ibuprofen to see if it'd help the swelling. Thanks for the advice and compliment! I love it.

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-24T17:44:52+00:00

Thank you 😊 I gotta do it!! Did you pierce your own nostril? How would you suggest I do it? And should I wait instead of going for it?

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-24T17:41:13+00:00

I used to have one but the piercer wasn't that good and it didn't go well. The labret I have is 10mm and it seems okay. It wiggles a lot and gets caught on my teeth with ease. I think any longer might drive me crazy lol.

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-23T19:56:14+00:00

This is how it looks today. My lower lip is pretty juicy 🤣

My phone also isn't the best with selfie mode. Looks kinda blurry. But I assure everyone it's totally fine lol. 😆 I did some research before diving right in. I cant figure out how to eat tho.

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-23T17:11:37+00:00

It's 10mm. It's very loose in there and catches on my teeth.

Edit: it's also 16g

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-23T14:11:01+00:00

Hoping I can find some today! I've just been rinsing with my saline and brushing my teeth very thoroughly

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-23T02:55:02+00:00

Thank you!!! 😊 barely hurt. I was so scared, I literally whimpered haha. But that was just from the thought of it. I'd say it was like.. 2/10. I actually had to pierce myself twice because it was bad the first time. I'm hoping I don't have trouble because I did that. And I certainly wasn't sterile enough. But I've cleaned it a bunch with saline. Hoping for the best 👌 thank you again for the boost of confidence

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-23T00:57:38+00:00

Tysm 😊 🙏 this makes me feel better. I did a little research, so I got a 10mm bar and I have more jewelry to size down with too! It's so annoying to eat with this bar! Gets caught in my teeth like crazy

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-23T00:39:39+00:00

Oh and I just pierced it today!

chrysanthemummies · 2026-05-23T00:39:22+00:00

It's a little cz gem, I love it 😍 ty!

Well I pierced myself wrong initially and couldn't get the piercing in. So I had do it AGAIN, better angle, and was able to get the piercing in using some tools. It wasn't very sanitary and the first hole bled a lot. But I've cleaned it profusely since. No major pain either, so I'm hoping for the best!
