This is rejecting huh? :(

1st pic is today, 2nd pic is july but the jewelry was not pushed all the way to the bottom so i cant really tell. I am worried if i take it out now that it was infected, but worried if i wait itll push through my skin. Do i go to a piercer or a doctor first?

19F I got my nipples/VCH done in the same session!!!

Okay, I still genuinely cannot believe I actually fucking did this 😭 I went in and got both nipples AND my VCH pierced in one session, and every time I get naked and look in the mirror I have this little “holy shit, those are actually mine” moment.

I’m not even going to pretend my reasons were completely innocent either 😂 I wanted them because I thought they looked sexy as hell, I wanted to feel hotter naked, and eventually—once everything is completely healed—I absolutely plan on enjoying the fun side of having them. The confidence boost alone has already been fucking ridiculous.

The appointment itself though… GIRL. Getting all three at once meant there really wasn’t much point in being modest. I was basically completely naked on the table, nipples out, legs apart, trying to act like this was a totally normal way to spend my afternoon 😭

The nipples were awkward enough, but having someone working that closely around my vagina to properly place a VCH was a whole different level of “well, I guess we’re acquainted now” 😂 Obviously it was completely professional, but there is no dignified way to lie there while somebody is examining, positioning, marking, cleaning, and generally fiddling around down there so they can pierce you correctly.

And then suddenly it was DONE.

Now I genuinely cannot stop looking at myself. I’ll get out of the shower, catch myself naked in the mirror, see the jewelry on my nipples and then look down and see that tiny piece of jewelry on my VCH and just think, WHAT THE FUCK, I ACTUALLY DID THAT.

There’s something ridiculously sexy about seeing my body like this now. It’s still completely surreal knowing I willingly let someone put three holes through some extremely sensitive real estate 😂 They hurt like absolute HELL getting done, they’re obviously hands-off while they’re healing, and I’m being really careful with them—but I already feel so much hotter and more confident.

So yes, I got them because I wanted them for myself. And yes, I also got them because eventually I want them to be fun. Both things can be true 😏

I’d LOVE to hear from other girls with nipple and/or VCH piercings. Did you also spend the first few days constantly checking yourself out in the mirror because you couldn’t believe you’d actually done it? I wish I could share them here, but I don’t wanna get my account banned. 😂

Girls and genuine piercing conversation welcome. Creepy dudes interpreting this as permission to send me sexual DMs: absolutely fucking not.

Getting two nose piercings tomorrow. Tipping advice?

The total cost is $50, which includes the jewelry, piercing, etc. I want to tip them, but I’m unsure what should be the correct amount! I’m getting two nose piercings (one on either side). Any advice?

is my navel piercing straight?

1 day old navel piercing! my friends and piercer and family are assuring me it is and it only looks off because of my body hair and the shape of my bellybutton, but i cant help but think it’s slanted and pierced incorrectly :/ i was also told i didn’t have the correct anatomy because the shelf “went flat” when i laid down at a previous piercer, but this piercer said it would be fine. i’m really nervous any feedback is appreciated😅 i’m also autistic so i tend to overthink things like this a lot but i genuinely can’t tell.

Is my navel pierced wrongly or do I just have bad anatomy?

I got this piercing exactly 2 years ago. Took care of it with saline solution, followed the instructions. For those two years it was constantly irritated, always leeking the yellow fluid but it never got infected. I just thought it needed more time to heal since it’s in a place where i move a lot. I had problems only with the bottom hole of the piercing, the jewellery was pressing against it whenever i would sit/bend down. The jewellery was curved barbell and i think its probably stainless steel. I thought that the jewellery was the problem since it looked way to big for a fresh piercing, so I switched to a smaller one (allegedly titanium but i doubt it since it came in a small plastic bag, it honestly looked like it was ordered from aliexpress) and thought that would be it. It got better but it never healed right. Two months ago i decided it was finally time to change into a fun piercing with dangling jewellery, but that one irritated me to the point that i had to take it out (i couldn’t even put the other one back in, it hurt and bled). I noticed something: the height of both holes seems off, like its too high. The space in between holes is incredibly hard to touch. My question here is: is the piercing done incorrectly or do i just have a bad anatomy? I don’t know if its pierced the right way, but i definitely want to pierce it again. I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to or that even if i do it will have an awful scar because i’ve had it for 2 years straight.

Pics: The first two pictures are when i got it first pierced. The rest of them are from now.

Infection or irritation

I woke up with this, piercing was fine night before. Doesn’t hurt and not hot to touch. But I took my gamble swimming in salt water..

is my rook pierced too deep?

i got this done five months ago (all they had was black jewelry) and it’s been painful to bend my ear in any way near the piercing, let alone change the jewelry. i’ve been to this piercer before for all my piercings and they’ve done well, so i’m wondering if the rook needs more time to settle in or if it truly was incorrectly pierced? for reference i do keep up with saline spraying it every day and clean off the crusties but other than that i leave it completely alone.

Belly Button Flaking

Hello so I recently got my belly button pierced on August 3rd. At first it was fine (the last picture) but maybe a few days ago it started to get darker and flake. I have been cleaning it daily but I’m not sure when this will go away. I’m not sure if it’s just dry, if it’s irritated or if its rejected.

Age: Around 13 days
Jewelry Shape: Barbell
Type of Threading: I’m not sure
Jewerly material: I’m not sure
It has not been downsized
Aftercare: I use saline solution and hypochlorous acid.
Unfortunate events: I will be honest and say that been messing with it a bit since I thought it looked crooked and it was irritating me. Besides that I try to be careful with it but I have hit it accidentally a few times.

Triple vertical helix

My piercings are three to four months old, I couldn’t change the jewelry until 2-3 weeks ago, one of them at least, before bed I’ve found out that the one I changed fell off (just the top part) the bar is still intact, but then, the bar is stuck inside the hole, I can’t pull it out and it hurts when I do, it’s really really stuck to the point when I try to pull it out it pulls the entire cartilage with it, and still won’t come out. Any tips on how to get it out? Or what might’ve happened?

(It’s currently swollen in the picture because I tried pulling it out multiple times before realizing it’s stuck)

Is this irritation or infection?

Ive been cleaning daily with warm salt water (piercer advised to use that) and didn't have any issues until a few days ago I swapped my jewelry for this hoop off Amazon. I was assuming it was just irritation but there is some pain/pressure now and it has me worried it's somehow infected now. Hoop is 18g 8mm if that matters at all

Wrong placement for vertical labret?

This is 5 days old and the piercer stressed importance of anatomy and it’s my first facial piercing other than my nostril. I feel like I can accommodate a better placement? Before he marked me I did mention how my lip color ends a lot earlier than my lip fat did so I didn’t want the bottom part being too low. The marks look placed well but he clamped me and missed the bottom hole by a ball hair (I could see the tiny dot still). Also I’m not sure what’s going on with the bottom hole does it look okay? I am using saline morning and night, I soak it for like 15 seconds to soften any crustys on the bar and than I dab any skin crustys off and pat dry. I drink lots of water, saline rinse after any food touches it and aquaphor only on the sides of my lips. I want to give it a chance to settle in more to see the full effect after I downsize with different jewelry but I’m nervous it’s not doing good or that it’ll take longer to heal and re pierce if I wait long enough for it to be settled.

Is this a keloid?

I’ve had this piercing since January and it started this gradual growth in March! What’s your opinion? I want to keep trying with it but I’m getting scared.!

I inhaled my septum/ it went down my throat.

When it happened i searched it up on reddit and people said that they would be fine. My case was not like that so please if you have any pain or any weird or unusual deeling go to emergency care. Mine got stuck and couldnt move down. Also they told me it could go to your organs amd cause damage. Better safe than sorry. Also if it goes in your airways you're fucked. They removed mine by gastroscopy. I was lucky bc tey told me there was a chance that i needed surgery. Thank god everything went fine
