[@im_squid]

I’ve had my 3rd ear piercings about a week ago, and whenever I lie on a pillow sideways, they push back so when I wake up they’re stuck and I have to push them back through again, its like the whole stud just goes through my ear..

[@ThePiercingOutlet]

Maybe the stud is too small? This is why I don't like 2mm studs because they can go right through your ear.

[@pxdden6664]

I got mine like 5 days ago too and I also have bumps behind them because of my hair pulling on them (I hope this is normal??), what was the general healing process for you guys? (Dice it’s been a year since y’all got them)

[@stwheel]

Christine - congratulations on your new ear piercing! Curious what motivated you to get a new ear piercing. Did you make a video of the piercing? Also, curious whether you opted for a needle piercing, or did you go Piercing Pagoda where you used to pierce ears yourself? That would be instructive for those of us considering where to go for the best experience of ear piercing. Hope your healing has been successful and that you're enjoying your newly pierced ears.

[@RylieCollins]

Hello! I’m not Christine but I just wanted to say when trying to find a reputable piercing place opt for a place that uses needles and not guns. Guns can shatter your cartilage as they use blunt force to shove earring through your ear. Piercing guns are also more prone to infection because it’s impossible to sanitize a piercing gun. Good luck and happy piercing! :)

[@ClemTigers281]

Finally decided to get my lobes pierced after delaying it for some time. I got them done Saturday night around 6:30. They don't hurt. The pain was gone the same night when I got them pierced. I went to Walmart and bought the NeilMed Wound Wash Sterile Saline Solution spray. I used it twice yesterday and did my first cleaning for today. They still look a little red and swollen. Which I assume is normal since it literally just got them done. I sleep on my back. Make sure I'm really careful with them. However, I did notice on the right side when I go to pat dry really gently after using the saline solution there was tiny almost unrecognizable bits of blood. Other than that I love my piercings and cant wait to take this jewelry out for the one I really want.

[@emmanuellao2248]

Finally someone mentioned itching because I'm feeling it. My helix started swelling 3 days after piercing but its not serious temperature is cool and its not red just showing bruising. The first day it was just red. I have been cleaning 2 a day, I'm praying the swelling goes down after two days 🙏. I think it's angry because the back was slightly poked during cleaning 😅.

Remember: if u did the piercing earlier this same day and its throbbing, chances are your hair got caught on it and irritated. It doesnt instantly mean its infected. (Its me, I may be delulu, but i genuinely believe it is natural for it to hurt after a strand of my hair just got caught on it

[@barhoque]

@@yours1ana I know late reply When healing your piercings, use either stainless steel or titanium because they keep from retaining moisture. Generally, don’t remove your piercing(s) in 4 weeks, in order for it to heal a bit. Even the 4 week mark you can change piercings to smaller rings because swelling is less likely to show up, don’t let your piercings stay without something in them because they can heal over the holes and you’ll have to re-pierce them. Generally, the 3 month mark is recommended to be healed but it can be longer, like 6 months to a year.

My first ear piercing is 56 years old! My second holes are 45 years old. I did the first ones myself. They are fine. (to this day) My seconds I got done at Claire's with a gun. They also turned out fine. I let them go back together & I just opened them back up. One of them the earring went right through, but the other one I had to reopen , because the back of it closed up. But for the most part, the piercing is still there. I was able to put in earrings. Only the one needs to re-heal. I can't stand studs, so I put hoops in them. When I pierced the first holes, I put in hoops .after a few days with thread in them from the needle I pierced them with. Back in the day, that's how it was done. They didn't have Claire's in the Mall for probably another 10 or 15 years. I burned the end of the needle & then cleaned it with alcohol. I tried the H@ Ocean & didn't really like it .It didn't feel good like alcohol. I like alcohol better. It feels so good when I put it on & it does really work good for me. So, What ever works best for the individual, I say.

[@itsavaestelle]

Usually cleaning should get rid of infection bumps, keloids aren’t that common and shouldn’t appear and is worst case scenario. Here my tips on how I got my bumps to go away… 1. I avoided taking off and on my mask when I’m outside, the tugging irritates it. 2. Not touching them, especially when you’re outside. 3. Cleaning them at the very least twice a week 4. Changing my earrings to at least stainless steel, anything less will usually irritate ears. 5. If you can buy the right jewellery, yes it can be expensive but it’s worth it! 6. Make a salt mix (mix hot water and Himalayan salt til desolated and apply to area)

The artist said: it will be ok as long as it's NOT INFECTED so your piercing is ok.. 🥰 This year is your HEALING TIME so you CAN TOUCH IT NEXT YEAR! 😂

hey can anyone help? i recently (6 days ago) got my double piercing in my ear done with a copper wire and the guy just twisted it and left it in like a little hoop. he said to remove it after 1 week. so the one week mark is almost here and idk what to do because 1. i learned that apparantly copper is a rly bad metal for piercing (so does that mean that I should take it out asap at the one week mark and replace it w gold studs?) 2. i also learned that taking out the earrings too early can cause irritation and infection (so should i leave the copper wires in for another week or two?). also here r what my ears have been like the past few days. day 1: constant pain, not rly and blood, i didnt wash it at all. day 2: shootting pain every minute, some black stuff forming in the hole, i didnt wash it at all. day 3: little pain all the time but more when touched, i washed it with water and dried with a towel. day 4: still lots of pain when i touch it and some just in general, notice that when i woke up there was some dried blood on both, washed/picked off the dried blood with just water, one ear was fine, the other ear began Dripping blood after i cleaned it so idk what that was abt. day 5/6: again dried blood, more this time, washed/picked it off with saline nielmed wound wash and a q tip, pain is mostly gone, it doesnt hurt in general unless i press on it or accidentally move the hoops(copper wires). *so the question is, do i remove and replace the copper wires with gold studs tmrw or should i just leave the copper wires in for a couple more days? and if i do replace it, how would i do it as to not irritate or cause infection?*

I don't have any of these Problems and i left my ear pericing without an earrings and it didn't closed it looks like the pericing that i got when i was a baby from the front but from the back it looks a little bit red and it hurts from the back when the earring reach tha back of the hole it hurts there is no blood i don't why in my country there's no pericier so idk who to ask

[@labkhand92]

I had the worst experience cuz I had allergy to Nickel in the earrings I used in my newly pierced helix. I never had allergy to any sort of material but these new ones suddenly become allergic. So my piercings bleed for 3 weeks and I had no clue how bad is the condition of my ear. Now after two weeks it's healing gradually, but the skin is still red 🤗

[@geeitsaangie]

Thats terrible! If your piercer recommended those I would be careful! Good piercers avoid anything that might cause an allergy. A way this can be prevented is by verifying that the jewelry is made of good material and is approved.

[@Electrovolutiona]

I'm really grateful, i just got my first Helix (15 years back i got the target earing gun treatment for my lobes) My piercer went over my ear and adjusted where he'd put it in because there was a vein in the original spot. It hurts like hell when i touch it and is still sore a week later, my ear is a little red but i bump it so many times in a day i'm not surprised. no swelling, 0 blood even when he did it. it's all been great so far. but when he said 8 months to heal i was shocked. WHAT i was attacked by a dog and that took 6 WEEKS. WHAT DO YOU MEAN 8 MONTHS BEFORE I CAN EVEN CHANGE JEWLERY!?!?!? Well, next time i go i'm going to see if i can get the other two helix on that side done at the same time because i'm NOT waiting for this one to heal all the way before getting the ones next to it (if my piercer thinks it's a good idea) I want 2 piercings on one lobe, 3 on the other, 2 helix on one side, 3 on the other, and maybe a tragus if i am feeling particularly self loathing one day. Plus my lip, nose and brow. I've waited 20 years to get the piercings i will suffer whatever pain to get them.

I got my upper lobes pierced in February this year. It started to swell and redden after 5 days even after taking all the precautions. I went to a doctor and took some antibiotics. It healed at first and then after a few days it again started to swell. I had studs in my new piercings and it felt like they were cutting off the blood circulation, also they were metal studs. I switched the studs with silver hoops and in few days the swelling started to go down. A month passed and it had healed the swelling and all but out of nowhere my piercings got infected again. Pus started to ooze out and i went to the doctor again. He prescribed me antibiotics and the infection went away in a few days. But now my piercings have started to hurt and swell again. I went to a different doctor and took another round of antibiotics but the swelling is not going down and it feels like the hoops are also irritating my piercings. So i took them out and left them bare. I dont know what to do and am very close to just closing them off. What should I do?
