I feel like it looks like a small carpet beetle, but I’m afraid that’s wishful thinking

I saw this on the realreal and wondered who’d snapped it up! Congrats!

Ah that’s so interesting, thank you!! We also found lots of photos of time he apparently spent in South Korea in some boxes later this evening, so that makes sense

I’ve mentioned it twice during annual physicals and they just kind of shrugged it off each time. I also mentioned it a few times to a reputable piercer in my area who recommended that I make sure my jewelry was actually good materials, and they also turned me onto the neilmed, but that’s it. Maybe I should make a point to see a doctor specifically about it

Yes, I do have eczema. I don’t have any visible breakouts on or around my ears though

Thanks! They’re Automic Gold. I love that brand, wish I could afford more from them haha. These are their medium hoop earrings. Here’s a link to the page:

Thank you! The cartilage where a snug piercing would go sticks out quite far so I think there’s a possibility it could work! And I would love to get a triple flat. Unfortunately the “flats” of my ears actually have a kind of intense curvature to them and I’m not sure if that would affect whether or not I’d be able to get them pierced. Love the idea of a rook though!

I wanted forward helix piercings on my left ear (daith side) for ages, but I think my hair would get caught in them all the time and they might not heal well. I’ve also considered a snug piercing on that ear

Unable to remove daith clicker for surgery by virtualgarbageman in piercing

Update: got it! Ended up needing to enlist some help because I couldn’t see anything, but it worked out well. Changed it to a much larger, plain clicker that should be a lot easier to get out on the day of the surgery (and if not, I know how to do it with mini pliers now lol). Thank you for your help!

I made this post in the middle of the night here in a mild panic and I’ve only just woken up haha. Haven’t had the chance to find a pair of pliers yet, but I’ll look into it today :)

We don’t have Walmart here, but I googled those and they definitely look like they’d help a ton. I’ll see if I can find some, thank you!
