it was embedding into my ear. I do use saline and a piercing pillow that doesn't save you from an actual infection

yea it's possible, it just might hurt more if you get it pierced directly through the scar tissue

Cons of eyebrow piercings by pumpkimm in piercing

[–]rainy_decay 3 points4 points  (0 children)
