Can anyone tell me if the last rung on my ladder will need to be redone? Going to finish it in a few months but I want to know if I should get the last rung redone.

How do they look? I’m worried they might be crooked but it could just be swelling since I got them today. My piercer did them freehand with a needle (no clamp).

This is me. Blue is existing, purple is something I would like to get, and pink is something I'm considering/maybe not.

I'd like to know about people's advice and experiences with helix and industrial piercings, but I'm particularly interested in what you have to say about the nose piercings.

Pain isn't really a concern for me as I tolerate it pretty well, but my nose is very tickly. Also I'd love to hear from people with facial hair regarding piercings around the moustashular area.

Thanks guys.

Finally added another piercing to my left ear. Now my ears look a bit more balanced, haha. Pretty simple setup, but I like the minimalist look on myself! So happy with it but wish me luck on the healing!

the piercing is about a week and a half old with an internally threaded titanium barbell, has not been downsized.

for context, this was a pretty brutal piercing process. the first bar my piercer used had a factory mistake so the threads were fucked up on one side, which took her over 30 min of messing with it to realize, and then i had to have a brand new bar put in. i ended with my ear being insanely swollen, red, and in a lot of pain on day of.

i took ibuprofen for a day or two to keep the swelling under control, and have been rinsing twice daily with sterile saline spray followed by rinsing with clean water (and clean hands of course).

the pain isn’t too bad, but i’m really worried about how swollen it is and the pus coming from it — i’ve obviously healed several cartilage piercings before and know some goop is normal, but i’m not sure if this is more yellow and more of it than usual and i’ve definitely never had swelling this bad. was wondering if it might be infected, or if it’s probably just significant swelling from the added trauma of my messed up piercing process?

(ps i know right now the bar is touching the flat of my ear, i swear when it’s not swollen i have clearance there 😭)

(edited to make it easier to read)

I am obsessed with some pictures of this piece but not all of them. Is it really this variable? I’m so scared to order online bc am i gonna get something clear, blue, or green?

Does anyone have this specific piece in their setup?

I got an industrial piercing yesterday. The piercer said I have the perfect anatomy but the bar is sitting flat against my ear and I'm not sure if it's because it's swollen cause it was only pierced yesterday.

The conch was on my bucket list for some time, and I’m so happy that it barely hurt!

Just got double nostril piercings today. When am I able to move the piercings so they aren’t sticking out?

NOT MY PIC!! Does anyone have experience with a double mid helix? What's the healing process like? These would be my 8th & 9th ear piercings!

I have wanted a second daith and something new on my left ear for eons! I decided to go with a helix and I wish I had done it sooner! Can’t wait to do more on the other side once this heals what do you guys think? I just got it down a few hours ago.

Heyy I'm contemplating adding a new piercing on my ears and I really fell in love with the tragus and the rook. I will end up getting both I think but I just really really want to hear your experiences with these piercings!

I particularly heard issues with the healing from these two? That the tragus was sometimes easier ect ect

Hey everyone. This is my first post here so if i am doing something wrong i am so sorry please let me know.

I have always been insecure of my ear shape, so i always avoided piercings. It is a bit prominent and pointy at top, looks kinda weird. I want to know what piercings will compliment my ear shape. I dont want to hide or emphasise anything, just what would fit me the best. Thanks in advance

Wanted that piercing for almost 10 years now. But it never came. But now with my face tats I figured it’s finally time and I LOVE how I look with it. I‘ll probably go a size bigger when it’s healed, depends how I look with it. But I’m happy either way ✨

Hi I got this eyebrow piercing in mid August. There was an issue with getting the bottom piece of the jewelry in and the piercer ended up pushing on my face really hard and bruising it. Fast-forward to today I decided to very carefully pluck my eyebrows because it is not nearly as tender as it used to be when I saw this lump. I didn't mess with it and just continued tweezing my eyebrows when I noticed that the lump started bleeding so I sprayed some saline on a Q-tip and tried to clean it and my piercing. I don't usually use a Q-tip on my piercing, I've got some pressurized saline spray and I always make sure to rinse it really well in the shower. What's weird is the like red part that's extruding doesn't hurt really to touch and I can kind of squeeze it and it seems to protrude. Is this a cyst ? is this a keloid? I'm really scared

Mostly love this piercing so much. I’m wondering about general thoughts on placement. Does it look okay? I can get a little OCD - gonna withhold my thoughts so as to not bias you. Might switch to a ring in the future might not. Thanks in advance 💛

I got this rook at the end of September 2025, at the same time as my flat here, and it’s still not healed. I believe the piercing is a curved barbell made of implant grade titanium, and the bar has not been downsized or changed at all since it was pierced. The irritation bump waxes and wanes. I clean it 1-2x per day with fine spray saline mist, let water rinse over it in the shower, and occasionally clean out crusties with Q tips. I avoid sleeping on it but I don’t own a piercing pillow so I usually put claw clips on the same side of my head so I don’t roll onto it. However, I still occasionally sleep on it or bump it. Any care tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there,

I'm an ear-only piercee but i have six in each. I like asymmetry and geometric shapes - current things pictured just for example. I change up quite a lot but generally try to be quirky without trying to be something i'm not.

I never planned to have more than two in each, but I just kept wanting more. I now have six in each, and for some reason 7 each feels more... I dont know, more of a finished story? So the question is, firstly, do people feel a 7th is a good idea, and if so, which of the options below do we think is best?

By the way in case pics aren't clear, current piercings are:

Left ear: Lower lobe, upper lobe, outer lobe, conch, tragus, front helix.

Right ear: Lobe, outer lobe, outer-outer lobe, daith, flat, helix.

Note the lobes are deliberately asymmetric so there's a bit of a gap between the innermost piercing on the right ear so that it's in between where the lobe and outer lobes are on the left ear.

Currently i really like the way a small snug hoop looks, but I am worried about the pain. My cartilage is super thick there, way thicker than my helix cartridge, and those two took over a year to heal and were super painful for a short period.

If I were to get a snug, do people think it would look better on the right, behind the daith hoop, or on the left, where I could put it above the conch whether i have an orbital or stud in there. Would that look good, or too busy?

I know the left ear has nothing high up, but I just dont know what I'd put in a hidden helix - don't feel like a delicate dangling thing would fit with my other earrings, and I dont know if a spike there would really register.

So basically, question is - if a snug piercing is bearable - should I do a left ear snug above the conch and a new inner lobe on the right ear, or a right ear snug behind the daith, along with either a hidden helix or another outer lobe on the left?

Thoughts appreciated. Thank you .

got this exactly 4 weeks ago. started bruising on like day 2. its gone down overtime but it’s still obviously there. I went to my piercer today and asked about it and he said it’s because I’m really low on iron. which, my doctor says I’m not anemic but am just barely there. is this still normal though? he said physically it looks fine and there’s nothing else wrong with it.

care info: I clean it twice a day, spraying saline solution on it and using a q-tip (per piercers recommendation) around each ball every time I clean it. sleep with a bandaid raised above it (also piercers recommendation) which helps me from rubbing it in my sleep.

If you have been dealing with a piercing bump, I just wanted to let you know that it does get better with LITHA. The first picture is taken a month ago, and the second one is taken today. Still not fully gone but I have had a massive progress.

(Piercing is 2.5 months old, titanium labret, will downsize this week, LITHA, cleaning with just water)

As the title says, I just got it pierced today and I’m not sure if it looks off.

I got my septum pierced after wearing a fake one for years. Now, I already know that the placement isn’t perfect and it should have been closer to the tip. Is it so far off that I should have it redone? Or does it look okay enough to keep it?
