hey i got my nape pierced about two weeks ago,and so far so good. No pain whatsover, don’t have trouble with hair or clothes and can sleep on it fine. I clean it everyday with sea salt but lately around one of the balls it has a faint colour of red and purple around it but it doesn’t hurt one bit. Is this all normal? Thanks xox

i made an appointment to get my clavicle pierced in two weeks. i am excited about it, but worried about rejection. the place i am going is a very good, clean shop with experienced piercers. i am worried that while working, the area might move. how long would a clavicle piercing last? is it worth it? it would be done with a surface bar. i got a snug piercing about a month ago and i cleaned it well and it feels fine. i hope my new piercing will be the same…

Hey Curt tomorrow on the 18 makes 3 months that I had my hip piercings and I think its not so bad but everyone thinks it looks nasty just because my skin got darker around it :-/ what does that mean? Itz not red though and it doesn’t even hurt unless my pants touch it but it does look weird because my skin got darker around the balls but not too much. Is there anything I can put on it to heal better or make it lighter?

Hi, I got my nape done last september and it healed well. (about 9 months ago) There was little pain but it often has little crusty things around it that build up that smell sometimes. Its like a liquid that comes out that hardens. The liquid is a clear colour and yellow crusty things. I still have the original bar in from last september and I was wondering is that unhealthy to have a large bar in and one for such a long time?

I got a sideburn piercing like 6 weeks ago and I love it! So far it seems like it’s been healing well, I never had any redness or swelling, but I’m paranoid that it might reject! My barbell is like a staple, with two 90 degree angles, and I feel like it’s closer to the surface than it originally was! I don’t know if it’s rejecting or I’m just paranoid. Is it possible or likely for it to reject without any redness or swelling or discharge??

Hey! I need to remove my Monroe. My dentist said it’s killing my front teeth and my gums are receding due to the wear from the barbell and the direct contact. I was wondering if you could give me any advice on how to properly care for the hole in my lip after I remove the barbell.

Thanks!

I got my hip pierced about a week ago and it was fine for the first 2 days, wasnt red, swollen or anything, then I went swimming in the sea and its showing signs of rejection? like, its red and keeps getting a bit crusty, but is it rejecting or just infected? I dont know what do because ive only had it done a week so its still healing and everything.

Im interested in having my lower back done and the person at the shop gave me 2 options: transdermal implant or surface piercing; she advised me on each and recommended I do my own research. I am slim. I’m still indecisive as 2 which procedure is best or most suitable. Was wondering if you could help. Thank you!
