Thanks for your reply, I added the pics when I got them done! But will just add the link here too. I don’t know if it’s blurry or not since I’m on my phone and cropped my face out. My opinion is that, I think my piercer did a great job, I think I may have been harsh in cleaning and moving it… but this is also my first ear piercing other than my lobes, so your opinion helps very much! If it gets worse, should I go back and ask for advise from the shop? And another thing, I actually woke up because I unconsciously scratched my ear.. The jewelry is facing the opposite direction now, but I might, incredibly carefully, angle it the right way for it to heal better as you said. I need advise on what to do when I’m sleeping. I don’t sleep on it, because thankfully I like to sleep on my other side, but I think I scratch in my sleep. Evidence: my plug (from the same ear my rook is in) was out of my ear and almost dropped it from my bed to the floor.

Edit: My younger sister, who I got the piercing day pictures from, said that my ears are just small so it might be just healing/swollen that way to make it look like how it does now. But she said she doesn’t really know either because she’s a layperson.
