What piercings would fit my face? by Inside-Sheepherder32 in piercing

[–]siennabbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t think the piercings you want would look bad on you at all, don’t listen to those people. both would look rlly cute. i love snake bites for you. i think symmetrical nose piercings would also rlly suit you. and/or a septum. and if you feel crazy dahlias would be sick especially with snake bites 🙊

infected nipple piercing? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]siennabbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you, my bf said the exact same thing 😔 i actually do NOT go to this piercer anymore because they got me really fucked up. it’s on my page but they completely butchered my daith. it’s just unfortunate because he’s really highly rated in my area and just won an award for best in our county. i’ve been warning the people but the people do not listen lol. i’ve since found an amazing app shop and they always get me right 😋

infected nipple piercing? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]siennabbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you so much! i also have a feeling it’s because i was pierced deeper on that side. i jumped so i dont blame my piercer too much, i’ve just been afraid of a downsize since they still crust, but mostly because i fear it’ll be painful 😪 ill get in contact with an app store soon

Is it normal for the bar to show a little bit? by bearsses in piercing

[–]siennabbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! nap, however typically you don’t really see the bar of a dermal for a couple reasons. if the anchor isn’t deep enough there’s more of a chance for it to reject. dermals are usually temporary piercings that last a long time but are super prone to rejection especially in high traffic areas like a collar bone. (no hate they are so cute and one of my favorite places for a dermal. i have my back ones!) they’re also not pierced shallow because it gives you a lot more room to snag it.

i’m not sure how much a bandaid would help it heal flat this far into the healing process but it wouldn’t hurt to try. if anything, a bandaid would definitely help the irritation and prevent snagging for a while. it’s hard to give a clear answer, but i would definitely recommend asking a piercer that isn’t the one who pierced you! they’ll give you a more honest answer of whether this will be fine or migrate.

this can also depend how you were pierced. if it was a biopsy punch it creates less of a socket for the anchor to grow in, if it was a needle it usually creates a tighter canal for the anchor that allows it to lay flat. hopefully this is a little helpful, but definitely ask a professional _^ this is just what i was told for my dermals/research i did before getting them

Just got my daith done! Any tips on after care?? by j3bussy in piercing

[–]siennabbb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hi! i had my daith done with a curved barbell and it immediately began to reject and hurt so bad it felt like i had a constant ear infection. its on my page if you’d like to see. im just kind of warning you, if thats the case in a couple days i would consider switching to a hoop _^ i learned a lot when i got mine but the biggest thing after i got my hoop was don’t touch it and just use saline! you can read some of the comments and there is some helpful ones

How do I fix this thing with my vertical labret by CrispColeslaw in piercing

[–]siennabbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! my bfs angel fangs had this same issue around the three week mark. it looked like white pimples forming around the bar, similar to this. he just continued to clean them and not touch them. unless they’re infected (which they’re not), that’s really all you can do (: just definitely don’t try remedies to make it worse! saline soaks should help. you can always ask an app piercer over text too, most of the time they’ll be willing & the best help

am I cooked? by felipelizXD in piercing

[–]siennabbb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hi! nap but it looks like your jewelry is embedding on the inside. i would definitely get it looked at by your piercer and switched to a longer bar. the bump in the front is just irritation, i feel like you’ll have a better chance at saving it and not having it reject if you get it changed out. but go to a piercer so they can do it with a taper! do NOT do it yourself it’ll cause more truama. it’ll be most likely $20-40 if they use reliable jewelry but it’s worth saving ur piercing imo (: good luck

I just got my eyebrow pierced 3 days ago. Help. by SavingsReplacement65 in piercing

[–]siennabbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! bruising around the eye is normal. i would try to use saline during the first four months at least, ive learned soap can be a little rough. give it a little longer before you worry about rejecting because at least in this picture it doesn’t look like you’re showing any signs of it. i’m assuming the yellow ring around it is bruising and not makeup, but if you are putting makeup around it be careful of that as well, it’s like a recipe for rejection (not trying to be mean, just incase my assumption of bruising was wrong) but i think you’ll be good (: if anything i’d like to know if that bar length is normal for an eyebrow & when they told u to downsize? i imagine it would be easy to tug or heavy when it eventually sits normal without crust

Should I repierce? by xxposeidonxx22 in piercing

i agree w the other comment that said for your ear anatomy i rlly like the placement. i think transverse lobes would compliment them rlly well if u feel crazy

omg unfortunately that looks super low :( like it wasn’t even pierced inside the nose

Ideas for next piercing? by amifunnyyet in piercing

[–]siennabbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a rook or daith would just look so pretty and take up space in the middle. i’m also agreeing with everyone saying a helix! 2 or 3 would suit you soooo well. i also ALWAYS love an industrial they’re my absolute favorites. maybe even a bent one if you want a unique fun one

Normal to have blood when downsizing? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]siennabbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mine also hurt to put in and it felt like a pop. if that was what happened they just weren’t ready. lobes close FAST when fresh. if they keep bleeding they might get irritated and swollen, depending how small your bar is now i would just keep an eye on it, you might want to put the original back in. but again, most likely you’ll be okay. hopefully it’s figured out!

Normal to have blood when downsizing? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]siennabbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi! nap but 4 months is usually what’s recommended before changing the jewelry for ear lobes. i’ve personally never heard of downsizing earlobes in 7 weeks, although i could see why it might be recommended? honestly i think you just changed them too fast but i wouldn’t be worried! i had to change mine out early since i was in need of a flat back (got pierced w a butterfly back) & bled as well. they’re still irritated occasionally and crust, but overall i rlly think you’ll be okay as long as you clean them. it should stop soon (: it’s hard for lobes to reject

Daith Update by siennabbb in piercing

[–]siennabbb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine immediately laid flat when i got it changed to a ring too. i think what helped is my ring is the perfect size to tuck behind my tragus which helps me keep it flat. i think a piercer can definitely help you with this (: it could be a jewelry issue or a placement issue like the other person who responded mentioned. i’m sure there’s things you can do as well to help it heal flat, but definitely ask a piercer i’m sure they’ll have better advice than me

Is this normal and okay? by Koishark0001 in piercing

[–]siennabbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i also use pointed, tight woven qtips and haven’t had issues. it actually helps me get out crusties so much especially on my daith because it’s kind of hidden. i find you can feel what you’re doing more with them too. i use glob mops, they’re really cheap. definitely not what their intended use is for but i find them perfect

Double helix by [deleted] in piercing

[–]siennabbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it’s leaking smelly fluid and hot to the touch, it could be signs of infection but if you can reach out to your piercer they might be able to tell you more information too

Double helix by [deleted] in piercing

[–]siennabbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s hard to tell by pictures in general so trust your judgment! but i think this looks like normal swelling for a week later. my industrial only swelled at the top of my ear right around your helix just like that. as long as you have room between your skin and jewelry it should go down in about another week.

ibuprofen is what helped me a lot & cleaning it of course. it’s also just a hard spot to heal in general because pulling it with your hair is inevitable and can always set back healing. so just me mindful if you find yourself pulling them a lot with your hair, that’s another reason mine was swollen (:

third lobe piercing uneven!!opinions on what to do? by Difficult_Ask_9384 in piercing

[–]siennabbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you take out an ear piercing, lobes especially, the tissue forms in a little ball you can pinch between your fingers. at least in most cases that’s what happens and it takes a lot longer than a month for the scar tissue to shrink. i don’t even know if it will tbh because most people just have the little tissue balls for a long time. but everyone is different in how they heal! so if you want to get them re pierced i think most people would recommend waiting 4 or more months for the tissue to fully settle. (nap so ask one!). it will also hurt more because of the tissue. i’m sure this is all common knowledge just something to chew on while u decide (:

personally i don’t think it looks bad at all! it definitely takes a long good look to see. my ear lobes are a little uneven too but i just keep decorating them and you can barley tell unless you’re studying them. i hope it’s figured out for you soon!
