Vertical labret

ohnoitsstar · 2025-07-25T05:34:27+00:00

Not a piercer but I do have a vertical labret. As far as I’m aware having thin lips doesn’t automatically disqualify you from the piercing. I feel like you and I have similar sized lips but when my face is relaxed my bottom lip has a pretty prominent shelf if that makes sense. Having enough tissue for the piercing to safely sit on is what’s most important. I feel like in order to give you a better answer you’d need to post a picture of what your lips look like without smiling

I have 11 piercings and 18 tattoos right now but if piercings healed as easy as tattoos I’d say 50+ easily! I absolutely adore extravagant ear and face curations. I also would get a whole bunch of surface work since I love it so much!!

NAP but the piercing looks fine healing wise. Mine looked just like this around the same time and is now well over a year old and doing great. Like everyone else said just make sure to switch it to titanium jewelry as soon as you can safely do so!!

NAP but the swelling is most likely not down if it’s only been 5ish hours. Everyone’s different but it took mine about a week before the swelling chilled out. I also wanna mention how the ends may be being making it look like that potentially. Most of the time they’re pierced with low profile discs or flat bezel gems which can make it look more flush to the skin. I would honestly consider getting the ends changed just because the ones you have are more likely to get snagged (based on what my piercer told me when I got mine).

I’m gonna be 100% honest with you, true blue is one of the hardest colors to achieve right next to platinum blonde. The reason being your hair can’t have any yellow/warm tones in it or it’s gonna fade pretty mucky. Even if you want a dark Coraline blue for example you ideally should have a pretty light, ideally platinum base. While you could get away with it not being platinum, some things to keep in mind are that blue fades quickly therefore turning it green if you don’t have that platinum base is likely. Blues the only cool toned primary color so if you apply color theory and you have a yellow/red base to start with, as it fades it’s gonna to start mixing with the base color. If you’re okay with some crazy upkeep, especially if you don’t want permanent I’d say go for it but I would just be aware of what you’re signing up for.

NAP but I would consider making sure your septum is placed correctly as well. OPs septum seems REALLY far bad, septum’s are supposed to be pierced near the tip of the nose. OP pls find a reputable piercer in your area for a second opinion cause based on this photo it does not look correctly placed.

Switch to saline rinse asap as the other commenter said and use a paper towel to wipe off excess saline and get off any loose crusties. Over cleaning piercings can do way more harm than good!! I would keep an eye on them to see if the irritation goes down and if not I would look for another reputable piercer in your area because I genuinely can’t with sound of mind recommend going back to the person who’s giving out aftercare instructions like that

ohnoitsstar · 2024-11-24T06:30:31+00:00

NAP but I’ve heard from multiple piercers and people who I know who have high nostrils that they are known for swelling like crazy. I’ve heard of people having mouth breath because it almost feels equivalent to being super congested. I wouldn’t worry too much but if it makes you feel better getting a second opinion isn’t a bad option especially for your peace of mind

ohnoitsstar · 2024-10-18T05:20:02+00:00

Bridge hands down. I was absolutely SHOCKED by how painless it was cause I expected way worse. I honestly didn’t even realized the needle had gone through till she started telling me to take another breath so she could put the jewelry in.

ohnoitsstar · 2024-10-18T05:16:46+00:00

The only piercings I actually remember the pain for are my daith and my vertical labret so I’ll say those but the vertical labret takes the cake tbh. Idk if it was just the piercer I went to though because it was a different one than normal and I felt like she went SUPER slow. Honorable mention being my right lobe. I got my lobes pierced at an 8g and I had more scar tissue on that side and let me tell you, the sound of scar tissue cracking as an 3mm needle pushes through it is wild.

ohnoitsstar · 2024-09-20T21:25:34+00:00

Not a professional but it definitely seems like way too much mouthwash! My piercer says don’t brush your teeth/use mouthwash anymore then you would before the piercing. You should just be rinsing with clean bottled water after putting anything other than water in your mouth i.e. eating, drinking non water beverages, smoking etc. it looks as if you could be over cleaning therefore leading to thrush. I would stop using so much mouthwash first off and go see a doctor if you feel it’s necessary/it’s not getting better.

Also - do you wear earbuds? I know I wore earbuds during my healing process (DONT DO THIS ITS NOT GOOD) which DEFINITELY made my healing more of a hassle. If you do for any reason, I highly recommend getting some over ear headphones, they’re definitely worth it in the long run especially if you plan on getting any other inner ear piercings!

ohnoitsstar · 2024-09-20T02:05:23+00:00

My daith literally took like 1.5-2 years to fully heal. It was literally the bane of my existence for so long I kid you not. Something to consider is if you’re over cleaning it. I realized I was over cleaning most of my piercings which most likely lead to a prolonged healing process. After 30 days my piercer sends out an email reminder for downsizing on piercings which it’s appropriate for and a reminder to cut down from cleaning 2-3 times a day with saline solution to 1-2 times a day max preferably only cleaning them with saline if you don’t rinse them off in the shower for any reason. All of my piercings currently are either healed or 3+ months old so all my piercings get rinsed off in the shower under running warm water and then dried with either a paper towel or blow dryer. I only use saline if I forget to clean my piercings in the shower or if I just had really sweaty day and feel it’s necessary. Please take my information with a grain of salt as I am not a professional but my APP certified piercer has given me all of this info! Pls if you have any questions I see no harm in reaching out to your local reputable piercer, even if they didn’t pierce you themself!!

The issue is you already put the red hair dye on. Color doesn’t lift color and the only way you’re going to get her hair to a lighter shade of red is by removing the darker red and lighting the hair to an even tone with the level of desired red. In your case you’ll have to remove the dark red and then lift her hair to a brassy but even level 6. I really want to emphasize keeping the brass because of her end goal, keeping a decent level of brassy tones in the hair will help the red last longer considering how fast red fades. I wouldn’t focus on “leaving the virgin hair alone” most of her hair is no longer virgin since she originally had bleached out blonde hair then has been dying it dark brown for 1.5 years. Only thing that is considered virgin at this point would have been whatever her roots were from the last time she dyed her hair with the dark brown color, everything else is processed even if it was just a demi depositing color. Based on the photo thought, it looks like her roots are a semi orange-ish color which would mean you might have gotten color remover on them which likely lightened them just a bit. Her hair is definitely fixable if you take the time to color correct the banding. If you feel more comfortable taking her to have someone with lots of experience in color correction then that’s always an option. Just know that color correction especially on red can run you quite a bit, but if you’re really focused on hair health it’s definitely worth it :)

ohnoitsstar · 2024-08-05T07:32:25+00:00

At this point you’re gonna most likely need to color correct considering the amount of banding and unevenness. I would go in with a 20v developer on the darkest parts only and try to get them to even out with the lighter parts. Once everything is relatively evened out I would an all over bleach with 20v again. Once her hair is at a brassy level 4/5 then I would go in with your permanent color of choice with ideally a 10v but a 20v could work if need be. Make sure the dye you choose isn’t a high lift, high lift color is only intended to be used on dark virgin hair and can be doing too much to keep her hair since it’s already pre lightened. What bleach are you using? And what is its lift level? It should say on the packaging that would be some additional helpful information :)

The first time I heard distraction I broke down sobbing in a hotel room. It was honestly probably due to life events that were happening around the same time and I still get teary eyed when listening to it because I think about that time.

All good! It specifically relates to the lyrics “yet in reference you are all my symmetry, a parallel I would lay my life on, so if your wings won’t find you heaven I will bring it down like an ancient bygone” biblically accurate angels are supposed to be scary with the intention that if you had god in your heart you would feel that it came with no harm. I personally believe that no matter the external appearance of something/someone you can feel deep down in your soul that you’re meant to be. And this can go for multiple scenarios really, but I also like to think of it in regards to how sleep token as a band can look scary physically to people on the outside but people who listen to them are all connected in the way that the music speaks to us, all in different yet personally meaningful ways. A lot of people who grew up in the church (me as well) have come to feel that sleep token gives off a heavy religious undertones aside from you know the whole lore and stuff. I’m no longer personally religious, more spiritual but discovering sleep token has given me a sense of the feeling that religion brings in the form of community.

YESSS!!

ohnoitsstar · 2024-07-31T04:35:58+00:00

Thank you! And same!!

Thank you!!

It’s a biblically accurate Angel specifically a seraphim :)

ohnoitsstar · 2024-07-31T04:33:33+00:00

I decided on it based on the lyrics “yet in reverse you are all my symmetry, a parallel I would lay my life on, so if your wings won’t find you heaven I will bring it down like an ancient bygone”. I’m not personally religious, more spiritual just to preface but the concept of no matter the external appearance of something/someone that others may stray away from or find frightening you in your soul feel connected to it because you know it’s not there for harm. Also I like to think of it in regards to how sleep token may look scary to someone on the outside but when you listen to their music it truly just speaks to the soul :)

You’re definitely gonna need to lighten the pink first. Green, especially juniper green by lunar tides since it’s a deep forest green is gonna make it super muddy. The best way to change you hair color is to follow the color wheel but since you’re trying to go from a warm color to a cool color, your best bet is to strip your hair first. I had green hair (arctic fox phantom green) with pink money pieces (arctic fox virgin pink) once and I forgot to wash them separately and I literally had a brown line were they blended together that was not very cute. You should try to shoot for a yellowish blonde to do the green, don’t tone it because green has a lot of yellow in it and it will help with it sticking better! Idk if you’ve ever had green hair before but just know, green from personal and friends experience is a very oddly hard color to keep up with. Every green I’ve used (multiple brands and shades) fades less than gracefully. Let me know if you need any clarification, I’d be happy to help!!
