I've had an industrial piercing for about 4 months now, and recently (within the past month or two) I've noticed two small bumps on the inside of each piercing that bleed and pus a little bit. I think it's hypertrophic scarring, but I'm not entirely sure...I'm afraid it could be infected, too. My ea...

I got venom piercings 4 days ago, and they're slightly crooked, but you can only tell if I lift the bottom of my tongue. They're pierced diagonally inwards, but the right is closer to the tip of my tongue than the other. Lately I've been having some problems with the right piercing. It's b...

i'm not really sure if this post should go in this community or some kind of ljdoctor community.i got a microdermal placed in the back of my neck a few days ago. my piercer told me to go ahead and try to keep a band aid on it to make sure that everything settles right. well, i did but it turns out i...

Hello all. I got my first real piercing ("real" as in, "not crushed all to hell by the gun at Claire's") just a few days ago. December 30th, at around five in the afternoon, to be exact. They gave me my aftercare instructions, but I wanted to be thorough, so I went to the old Google to find out what...

Ok, I promise I did check the FAQ, but I couldn't find quite what I wanted to ask. Basically I have lower lip piercing to the left side of my face. I'm totally fine with studs and what nots but I've just bought a BCR for when I'm not at the office and I can't figure out what to do with the damn thin...

Hallo, first post here and a boring question but I'm bored and curious. So some almost 3 months back I got my snakebites done (also my first oral piercings). Straight after, I noticed that the inside of my lip around the left piercing had some minor but visible dark purple bruising of some kind...

I've had my belly button pierced for 6 years and I've just noticed about in the last year, the skin that's pierced has gotten a lot thinnerlike when i got it first done i had the longer "bars" or whatever they're called which fit perfectly and now I have to find really short ones and it still hangs ...

Dermal punched rook piercings! I want to have this done preferably at 8g, or 10g if my ear won't support anything larger. Anyone in here have any experiences they want to share? :D Mostly my concern is with jewelry... the shortest 8g curved barbells I've found are 3/8" which is way too long. The bal...

I've checked around, but I've been having a hard time finding good information about scarring from microdermal removal. I've been considering getting a sternum microdermal for a while and my friend invited me to go with her on Monday when she gets one. I think they are beautiful and would really lov...
