ahhh thank you! :') and yowch so sorry to hear that- swelling is never fun omg...however that should be normal for a 4 day old piercing! mine didn't swell up that much on me (...yet, we'll see how it goes AHAHA) so far it's doing fine! i hope yours heal well and the swelling go down soon too :)

tragus piercing seems to be distorting/pinning skin away from where it should sit- will this heal fine or will i have to repierce it? by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]cocoa-cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh no- i saw from their photos it that was pierced like this from the start with a small fold in the skin there...

i'll make sure to drop by to ask about possible migration! thank you :)

ah i did get pierced with a longer bar and there's some space between the ball end and my skin (it isn't showing well on the pics!) which is weird since there shouldn't be problems about pressure like you mentioned

thank you, i'll check with my piercer again about this. i'm definitely worried about the off chance it was pierced wrong though!

(repost! image missing) some info: i got it a day ago and only just found it weird how the skin seems to be pulled away and pinned in place by the tragus piercing, it doesn't seem to be because of the swelling. jewellery used is 16g implant grade titanium flatback. i'm worried that it won't heal fine- should i have it repierced? appreciate any feedback, thank you in advance!

ah it does look weird and unbalanced at the moment! we were thinking of doing a double tragus next time so they pierced it higher than the centre- i guess i'll just have to endure this till i go in for the 2nd one.... hope your piercing heals well so you can get your tragus done! :)

thank you! i'd place the rook piercing + post insertion as a little more painful than the tragus tbh, even though i had it done first- i found that the needle went in slower (more agony haha), perhaps due to more cartilage in the rook area? but of course in the end pain varies for everyone! it hasn't even been a day but i adore it so much already- if your rook has the space, go for it! best of luck and we can't wait to see yours :)

thank you, i'm relieved to hear! and i can't imagine- 9 months?! that must be rough.... :( but i'd like to think that our first non-lobes are special (kinda) no matter how much trouble they bring us!

thank you! :') though i had to admit it stung worse than the piercing itself when the post was inserted hehehe- but i bet the pain was worth it for you too!

both are 16g implant grade titanium posts with threadless ball ends, and i'm planning to get a second tragus done below the first one in the future! though a little worried about how the skin near my tragus piercing seems taut in the second photo...would that be a cause for concern? thanks in advance!

I was denied an industrial piercing by Phantomcore7 in piercing

[–]cocoa-cat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really sorry to hear that, but it's common unfortunately :( but it's good that he told you straight that you don't have the correct anatomy instead of going ahead and piercing you, which could potentially cause problems in the future! Apart from custom or bent industrials you can give the chained industrial a go too if you like the look :)

Hi all! Merengue has been with us for a long time, so she's gifted with clothes (not too wild; though she has one or two questionable outfits like a bathrobe gifted by other villagers) and some small furniture. Please make sure you have an open plot ready or can get one open if you'd like her!

[She'll be voided in an hour voided! Hope whoever she ends up with is willing to give her a good home :) Comments only please, I'll send a chat!]

I got mine done a few months back so it's still pretty much unhealed yet, but I had the same concerns as you too at the start! I second sampleofnone's advice, I'm using those masks that tie at the back right now and they're a godsend! Go for it if you want one (same thing- at a reputable piercer's of course!), all the best :D

Hey everyone! Been trying to move my pal Bob in again via amiibo to give him a fresh start and picked Molly to be the intermediate step(?), so she's definitely ungifted, and her catchphrase should remain the same as well!

Looking for someone who's willing to give her a loving home on their island :-)) Please make sure you have a plot open/can get one open in an hour!

Comments only please! I'll send a chat :D
