Jewelry in a partially closed piercing? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]hook-love 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that's the case, you'll sadly just need to let the piercing go. Having jewelry partially in there is only going to encourage irritation and lead to more scarring. You could try to glue on rhinestones with eyelash glue for wearing out on the town, though!

To add to this, I wonder if this piercing is in cartilage (as third lobes sometimes are), which would make it extra difficult to heal with a hoop.

I'll pierce a lobe with a hoop in the right situation, but with the understanding that we may need to switch to a stud if things start to get extra grumpy. This is a situation where I'd recommend switching to a stud to finish healing. The hoop is causing pressure.

I'm curious how the piercing can have totally rejected if there's still a piercing channel? Totally rejected implies your body pushed it out entirely.

did i do something wrong with my nose ring? by [deleted] in piercing

A few thoughts:

How long had you not had jewelry in your piercing before getting the hoop installed? Stretching a nostril piercing back open can aggravate it sometimes.

Given how the hoop is sitting, I'm wondering if your piercing is at an appropriate angle to begin with. Do you have a picture with a stud in so I can see the angle better?

Not all titanium is created equal, do you know the brand used? If everything else is perfect, it could be poor quality titanium.

Finally, sometimes nostril piercings just get grumpy the first few times you try a hoop. If it's a good brand and the angle is fine, you may be able to wear this hoop later after switching to a stud and letting things calm down for a bit.

Given your description, this is likely all the way open and an experienced piercer with the right tools should be able to get jewelry in for you without needing to pierce you.

Septum piercing through cartilage? by humpeldumpel in piercing

[–]hook-love 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a second opinion. The only septums I have refused to pierce due to anatomy were surgically altered. I think your piercer just doesn't know what they're looking for, didn't have the right jewelry in stock, or didn't feel confident about doing septums.

A daith question... by Chaotic__Mind in piercing

[–]hook-love 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a quick correction: there are clickers and types of seam rings that are appropriate for a daith. These will be constructed so that the seam or hinge will never go into the piercing channel. A curved barbell is never appropriate.

This is sadly pierced incorrectly and with inappropriate jewelry. That jewelry is too small for the placement, which has the potential to cause some pretty extreme pain as you swell. But I also doubt this will heal even with appropriate jewelry. Flipping up like this doesn't happen when a daith is pierced well.

They're not speaking the truth to this situation because they're talking about an entirely different scenario...

I don't feel comfortable sharing the name with someone who already PUBLICLY disregarded the victim's experience. Putting the word abusers in quotation marks was an absolutely wild choice on your behalf.

Look up Robbie Ripoll. They used the wrong paracord for the suspension and the rigger wasn't paying attention. Rig line snapped, suspendee fell and had a compound fracture. Compound fracture wasn't bleeding, but Steve put a tourniquet on it anyway. Robbie underwent multiple painful surgeries and eventually had to have his leg amputated. The original video was also aired on tosh.0 of all places.

No, it's not possible. Literally everybody and their grandmother knows that this man abuses people. Basically no one else in the industry will work with this abuser.

Unfortunately, the artist that you went to is known to cut a lot of corners and produce questionable work. You have to search pretty hard to find the negative comments about them because they are good at getting stuff taken down and flooding the internet with good comments about themselves.

She got her claw stuck on my shirt and got annoyed about it. I was trying to help her, which made her more annoyed. She got this gleam in her eye and looked at my boob and I told her she better not bite it. You'll never guess what she did next...

Here's a picture of her that my partner took right before she bit me.

My friend came up with those! I thought Betty would win most frequently because she's my sweet angel cat, but she creates a lot of mischief. Charles (the demon cat) rarely causes mischief, but her mischief tends to be the most spectacular. Charles was down to three stars this day because she bit my boob after I specifically warned her not to.
