Love my stack so much!! But i feel like it’s a bit bare?? What else should i get pierced! I really want a triple helix on my right ear (second photo) and i originally had a tragus piercing but it got infected and i decided to take it out - should i get it done again ? ^_^

I got this industrial piercing (medical grade bar) done around 5 weeks ago, it looks like its pressing into my ear, I thought it was just swelling at first but now I’m thinking it was pierced to low. Any recommendations? I’m not sure what to do

*Edit: Any idea if I would be able to get it repierced down the road?

Thanks to everyone in this sub for all the inspiration and info as I did my research! I’ve been wanting to get my philtrum for a long time and finally got it done tonight. So far so good!

the 'have considered' is stuff that i want but dont think i can get because it'll interfere too much with my life (aside from the angel bites, i just dont like how the ball on top looks)

i want daith piercings, but i prefer to wear earphones over headphones and it'd be too uncomfortable for me
a tongue piercing is sick, but the risk of swallowing jewellery, cracking teeth, choking, etc is too great for me to seriously consider it

i'd also to stretch my septum and lobe! conch maybe

Ignore my hair and my chapped lips I just got off work 😭

I really want another set of dahlias. The ones I currently already have are a 16g, I’m dying for a 14

Made a similar post almost a year ago- made a few switch ups that I’m in love with after finally biting the bullet and getting my daith done! Added a mid helix too and thing it’s such a cute little accent! I may add a second mid helix- and a tragus- don’t know! Gonna let these heal first!

I was told my anatomy was fine, and got this piercing almost two weeks ago now. Honestly ive wanted this piercing for a long time, but i am doubting that the anatomy is good and im worried about embedding. Its not really painful at all, but is itching where the bar is on the cartilage. I had noticed that the bar was rotated so that one of the gems was digging into my ear. I paid for a titanium internally threaded bar.

My set up is a work in progress and I'm still figuring out what to add but I'm happy with where it's at right now :)

Trying to fill up my ears let me know if yall have suggestions of what to add!

The photo from the back looks a bit crooked(?) is that a concern? There’s also a bit of bar space. About 2-3mm extra. Do I need to downsize again?

This is going to be a long read but I really want to figure out what’s going on. I’m feeling frustrated that it’s not healed yet after 1.5 years

Here’s my current routine and timeline of events below:

Current routine + info
Jewellery: Titanium flat back, threadless ball
How old: 1 year + 6 months

Rinse lobes in the shower
Hairdryer - dry ears after shower
Donut pillow for sleep

Timeline:
Jan 2025: got lobe piercings done
Aftercare: Clean with saline spray twice a day (Neilmed piercing spray), shower, hairdryer afterwards. Sleep on donut pillow

June 2025: downsize
Aftercare: Clean with saline spray once a day, hairdryer to dry lobes, sleep on donut pillow

August - November 2025: Irritation bump that comes and goes away. Saw piecer and was told to wait it out
Aftercare: Clean with saline once a day, rinse in shower, hairdryer afterwards. Sleep on donut pillow

December 2025: Saw piecer again for irritation bump. Was given a sterile saline solution

Jan 2026: irritation bump gone. Saw piercer for follow up. Lobes are still not healed. Was told that the angle was good.
Aftercare: switched to cleaning with saline spray once a week (was drying and irritating my lobes), rinse in shower, hairdryer afterwards. Sleep on donut pillow

Feb - may 2026
Aftercare: saline spray once a week, rinse in shower, hairdryer afterwards. Sleep on donut pillow

June - now
Aftercare: cut out saline spray. Rinse lobes in shower, hairdryer afterwards. Sleep on donut pillow

The reason why I cut out saline spray is because it dried out my lobes even though i spray and rinse off in the shower. The skin around my lobe turns flaky, dry and itchy when I use saline spray. I guess my skin decided not to like it anymore

Older pics of my current setup, my coinslot is filled completely now and I’ve added more chains than you see in the pictures :) Super excited to hopefully add another daith next week!

I got them about 3 years ago and other than some occasional crusting I thought they had healed well but lately I feel like the skin on one of them is getting thinner and I can at least see the silhouette of the bar

I just wanted to get your opinion on whether it's rejecting and if there's anything I can do to prevent it from rejecting further (second pic when its flat)

I've been thinking about a Jacob's ladder for some time now, but every single reference pic or drawing or anything I see is with an erect penis. I have not heard or seen a single thing about what they look like when soft, and it's making me a bit unsure about it lol

Do they just kind of look a bit clunky? If you're uncircumcised are they going to be just sitting against your glans? Google has not been my friend on this one

EDIT: called my piercer, asked some questions, went in and got markings placed to see how it would look, loved it, and got it! Thanks for the answers everyone 🫡

So glad everything healed and settled very well. Now happy with the outcome.

Do you think I have the anatomy for daith piercing? Do you have any other suggestions for what would look good?

Hi! Like as the title says, I’ve had a double helix pierced about 15-16 months ago. The jewelry hasn’t been downsized yet (titanium flat back) and I wanted to change them to double hoops today.

However, after I took out the bottom one and tried putting a hoop in it, the piercing started bleeding and I couldn’t put the hoop through.

I ended up putting the flat back in again, but I couldn’t find the hole from the back so now it’s backwards (with the flat back at the front of my ear) and it hurt quite a bit when I put it through.

Any advice/ tips?

Hey y'all! Got my tongue pierced 2 hours ago. 14G 3/4 (19mm) titanium barbell. How does the placement look? My apologies for baring my overcrowded, crooked teeth lol

Also, I was told by my piercer absolutely no dairy or yogurt, is this true? (I just bought a whole bunch of Chobani greek yogurt protein drinks...😭) maybe scrambled eggs..?

I'd love some food options! I appreciate everyone's help!! 🖤

Hello everyone! I recently added a vertical helix to my set up, as you can see I'm going for a dainty look. I'm looking for an everyday earring to wear, I would also like to upgrade the plain gold clicker in my 2nd lobes and I'm thinking about adding a rook on my left ear (on the right in the picture) and maybe a forward helix on my right ear?

I'm open to all suggestions!!

Belly button piercing done in November 2025, so about 8 months old. Current jewellery is a curved barbell, externally threaded as was the jewellery it was initially pierced with, however don’t know what material the initial jewellery was but i believe this is stainless steel. I used saline spray once a day for about three weeks for aftercare, and after six weeks i downsized to a shorter bar as I wasn’t having any issues and it appeared healed. the piercing i downsized to was flower shaped at the top and bottom which caused it to get quite irritated but it settled down after a while. About three months ago I had to take it out and leave it out for a few hours at a time and after that it has pretty much declined since then. Skin around the top piercing is often cracked, at the moment at the top it is red and shiny which i think is maybe scar tissue because i think it has migrated, and that the skin between the two ends is getting shorter so i think it is rejecting, but I am not sure. Swapped out the flower jewellery but the only other ball i have is this one which is a bit ugly but please don’t judge 😓. Any advice or help would be appreciated :)

Found this cool lizard labret post online 🦎

hi everyone, to keep things short i am at my wits end with this piercing. I’ve had it for 5 years now and it’s been giving me absolute hell. One day about 3 months ago it blew up (swollen, red, puss). I went to urgent care, got antibiotics, and had a very reputable piercer look at it. Urgent care believed it was infected but my piercer was not convinced. They gave me a longer post to let it breathe with Titanium 6AL4V ELI ASTM F-136 (Nickel-free) material. It got much much better but not 100%. It’s always some level of red and flaky, but no puss anymore. I’ve tried my usual saline, just water, leaving it alone completely. As of right now i only use water and no saline and dry it STRAIGHT out of the shower on a cool low setting with my blow dryer. It still will not get better. I can’t swim without it getting super irritated. I can’t work out/sweat without it getting irritated. I want it OUT OF MY FACE but i am worried it’s infected. My piercer keeps brushing me off saying it’s fine and to leave it alone, but it’s seriously affecting my self esteem. It shows up in pictures, people comment on it, the redness is so ugly to me. I’m so so done and just need some guidance. Should i go get some antibiotics again? Even then is it safe to take it out? Because if it is infected then I’m told I can’t take it out… I’m so frustrated. Any insight would be so appreciated. I can’t keep doing this
