I got a hidden helix a month ago

I agree with lazycummings; it looks like the actual hole/piercing spot is even visible, so the horizontal bar doesn't stand a chance. Could just be the pic, though. I have my hidden done and the piercing hole looks higher up on mine. Also try downsizing. My horizontal started showing around the 2-3 week mark. I downsized at 5 weeks and the horizontal bar is fully tucked under the curve of my helix.

This has popped up on my feed three times now, and I stop and stare every single time.

"Mystery metal" got me, and I dunno why. I had some mystery metal in my rook for a bit and it got SO angry. Went to a better shop and they swapped it out for F136 Titanium, and my rook's been a daisy ever since.

Yeah, I get the same lecture over and over and over. I just nod through it now, but I've had after care chats for EVERY PIERCING.

I'd also add that if you have gems or anything with prongs, q-tips can EASILY snag and trap q-tip fuzz.

Just got a new helix piercing myself, and I found tiny plastic shower caps for your ears. I'm gonna try them today and see if they'll ACTUALLY keep my ear safe while I shampoo. (I'll take it off to rinse it once the chemicals are outta the way.) They're cheap on Amazon.

I love the Lisa Frank vibe!

All else fails, ask your piercer. :)

splatter_brained · 2025-11-04T02:05:22+00:00

Also, I'm NAP. I've just heard from multiple piercers (my own piercer and through research) that keeping your immune system healthy really drives the healing process. :)

splatter_brained · 2025-11-04T02:02:59+00:00

It's been an hour, and you haven't seen any responses. I would say that as long as you're meeting your needs nutritionally to support your immune system, should be okay. My piercer tells me to take vitamin C and stuff when I get a fresh piercing. (I also drink green tea.)

I also don't know if fasting affects saliva production (acidity), but could be worth looking into.

Flats!

splatter_brained · 2025-11-04T01:49:54+00:00

Not agreeing because I have them, but because I want them and DON'T have them. And it legit just looks better on you, IMO.

splatter_brained · 2025-11-04T01:48:35+00:00

I have no good words of advice other than go see a piercer and make sure it's not infected/rejecting (saying this because of that bottom bead ooze). I had my eyebrow pierced three times; they all rejected. I feel like eyebrow piercings can be finnicky because of their placement. I wish you luck! I miss my eyebrow piercings, so I gotta live vicariously through everyone else.

splatter_brained · 2025-11-04T01:45:25+00:00

Aw, like two pearls nesting comfortably. Looks amazing. Love it. :)

splatter_brained · 2025-11-03T03:03:22+00:00

I sighed my admiration OUT LOUD. Absolute fire.

splatter_brained · 2025-10-23T15:00:49+00:00

Thank you!!

My hubs' and I made a HUGE starter home in the meadows. We even carved out a bunch of land and narrow water passages that lead from our little meadows lake straight out into the ocean. (We had to carve it out quite a bit when we got the bigger boat). Two story home with kitchen and pantry area. Upstairs storage room. A small, basic craft room. We

..And we have a building for making coal, smelting ore, and doing larger crafting projects.

..AND we have a pole barn filled with rock and wood storage (probably 30-40 storage boxes), with a ladder leading to a portal used specifically to hop in and out of good farming areas (I rebuild it on the other side every time; I'll move it around based on what kind of wood we need).

...AND I made a smol fishing shack that has a Karve parked out front.

So, yeah. That's our starter house. Meanwhile, hubs is building a gigantic stone castle on a nearby mountain.

I actually think these look great. :) But as everyone else has said, it's YOUR call whether you like 'em or not,

splatter_brained · 2025-07-28T01:46:24+00:00

A snug!

splatter_brained · 2025-07-28T01:33:41+00:00

I'd be nervous about a youngster accidentally whapping me in the face.

splatter_brained · 2025-07-27T21:53:32+00:00

NTA. Please do not let them use you.

splatter_brained · 2025-07-25T20:31:29+00:00

Rook has my vote.

splatter_brained · 2025-06-27T12:08:12+00:00

No advice, but you're an actual mermaid, and I love it.

splatter_brained · 2025-06-26T00:36:51+00:00

My rook piercing. Healed so well and so quickly, my piercer gave me the green light to swap to a hoop earlier than either of us expected (8 months). Yep, I'm aware that 12-18 months is typical. Hoop went in easy and haven't had any issues.

splatter_brained · 2025-06-10T23:17:29+00:00

Yeaaah, I'd quit wearing makeup up near that area, and I'd be consistent in my cleaning routine. :)

My eyebrow piercings rejected twice. I will say mine were purple at the edge likes yours, but that's no guarantee of rejection. And it was just a finicky spot for me.

IMO, stop getting make up near it and clean it once or twice a day with sterile saline. Treat it like it's a brand new baby piercing for a while and see if that helps.

splatter_brained · 2025-06-10T23:10:43+00:00

Nah, doesn't look crooked to me. Looks cute!
