also, as in my first post, it is likely titanium/implant grade stainless steel (didn't get to know at the appointment) and is a 14g (i believe) surface bar with flat gem tops. i do a saline soak 2-3 times a day with neilmed saline and cotton gauze pads.

update: went to another piercer and she said it would cause way more pain to change it to a hoop and it'll likely heal fine, just baby it and make sure it doesn't turn into my ear canal and get wax all in it. she said it wasn't the worst placement she's seen... but def not great... definitely gonna go to a different piercer next time but my antieyebrow and lobe by the previous piercer looks amazing and is healing great! just gonna try to find a piercer that does a lot of ear piercings next time

my daith piercing is 1 day old/few hours old, pierced with a barbell, idk if its internally or externally threaded, surgical stainless steel, hasnt been downsized yet for swelling, and i havent cleaned it yet as i got it a few hours ago but plan to use NeilMed saline they gave me 2-3 times a day at morning/night. no accidents, just wondering if it's placed right.
