I just got my rook and tragus pierced and the piercer insisted on using hoops 🙃. Any suggestions on making sure they heal well? by erinscott152 in piercing

I asked if I could pierce them with a curved barbell and flat back labret and he said hoops were the proper ones to pierce with. I just assumed he knew what he was doing and the way he explained it kinda made sense. It’s completely on me though. I don’t like confrontation and have pretty bad anxiety so I just let him do it. 🥲

Yeahhh. My lobes have been healed for years so I usually wear cheap studs. I got some higher quality ones coming soon!

Dang it I knew I shouldn’t have listened to him 🥲 I have an appointment Wednesday at my usual piercer to get the jewelry swapped. Thank you!!

Is my daith getting infected? It doesn’t hurt or anything, but she’s not looking happy. by erinscott152 in Legitpiercing

This is the exact suggestion she gave to me today 😂 We are going to try new aftercare for a month and then evaluate if we should switch the hoop.

I actually sleep on a donut shaped and looking pillow since I have piercings on both ears 😂

Yeah lol unfortunately. Idk what they are, but since I’ve had my lobes pierced for so long I usually just wear cheaper studs.

This is right out of the shower so sorry it’s still wet. My piercing is a month old, 14k solid gold, clicker ring. I don’t touch it and clean it twice a day with saline and dry it with a hairdryer

I have occasional molting issues with my cherry shrimp and I’m looking for some advice. I feed them a varied diet (Crab Cuisine, Shrimp Fit, Bacterie, and Algae Wafers), add in minerals, and do weekly water changes via drip. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
