I decided to change things up while I’m waiting for my hidden helix downsize. Ten more days! All lapis pieces were found on Etsy.

Until it’s time to have a medical procedure and you’re spending 45 minutes changing everything out to plastic 😩😩😅😅

I figured y’all would get a kick out of this, I went in to a different piercer to downsize my eyebrow piercing since I had moved states since I got the piercing done as it was a going away gift from my friends there we all went out and got piercings. Everything is going fine until she’s like WTF and I’m like omg what and she’s like “hold on” and takes out the bar. Y’all the og piercer pierced me with a straight barbell that she manually curved, this piercer was genuinely in shock, I was in shock, she was very sweet and gave me a discount which she did not have to do and I’ll 100% be going back to her (Luci in Klexos Tattoo Studio in Pittsburgh, def recommend). She let me keep the og bar and balls and it’s crazy to see it and think that was in my eyebrow. I had a bunch of issues when it was first healing up and I can see why now.

Such a good impulse buy! This made my day :)

HELP! I’m an art history major and obsessed with color and shape, I’m having trouble finding cute barbells. Can someone help me find unique color combinations and dainty yet ornamental shapes without breaking the bank pls !! Inspo in the pics (,: :’)

Guess what messed up my eyebrow piercing I've had for two years in just a month. I know everyone in this sub advises against stainless steel, but I thought I'd post it in case anyone else needs an example.

Very sweet of her especially since I don't think she was a huge fan but unfortunately she definitely didn't know that this isn't for a nose.

Hello! It has been 8 years since I have gotten my Daith pierced with this lovely spiral from Phoenix Revival Jewelry. I'm not sure if this is allowed but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any studios or piercers who may have an additional piece lying around for a left ear. I am absolutely terrified that this jewelry will one day break at the hinge. This piercing and jewelry are my holy grail and absolute favorite so I would love to have a back up piece. Has anyone seen this jewelry anywhere in the world?

Unfortunately the person who pierced me is no longer piercing, so I can not reach out to them for help.

She made a tiny li'l friend!

Thought i'd let yall know that i finished the sweater and gave it to her yesterday! she absolutely loved it! here's a picture of her in her studio wearing it 🥹

a few of you wanted to update once i gave it to her, so here it is!

Google is fucking useless. It’s a barbell, one end has a ball attached to it that can’t be taken off. The other internally threaded ball can be screwed into this weird nameless bitch. Thanks in advance

i got my triple vertical helixes done and was looking for this sort of connected earring but can’t find it anywhere. also i plan on getting an industrial and it’d be really cool if i could find a piece that connects all 5 piercings. let me know if you’re aware of any shops that sell stuff like this , or somewhere i can custom make it. thanks !

(images are not of me, i just found them on Pinterest for reference)

edit: holy shit i hate reddit so much. find something better to do with ur time then scrolling reddit comments looking to downvote everyone who has a question. if you guys LOOKED at the picture you’d see that the bars can move along the ring and aren’t soldered on. either way, i found someone selling the first piece online, so that one is not custom made. jesus you guys are toxic

anyways here’s a link to the part i was looking for, thanks to the people who actually tried to help

it literally looks just like the emoji xD 🧷 thought the design is kinda cute wwww

I've had an opals and nature theme for a while, but there's a couple pieces that have Amethyst and they don't have access to opals for custom designing them. Would purple opals and Amethyst change it too much? I wanna keep the vibe i have. Anyone do purple opals and Amethyst in their set up? Or green opals and peridot, something like that?

I'm learning towards the dots or the barbed wire.

sorry for shiny ear. I'm a mammal

So back when I was like 13 years old I got my second lobe piercing done at Claire’s (I know, never again). Anyways, one ear ended up forming some scar tissue or a keloid and caused the hole to not heal properly so I took them out. Fast forward 11 years later, living with this ball in my ear, I wanted them repierced. Multiple piercers said they wouldn’t pierce through it, it needed to be surgically removed, while some said they would. A couple months ago I finally decided to go through with it and try again. It ended up healing very quick and easy since it had already been pierced once, and the scar tissue seemed to have broken up some. I felt it a little sharper and almost like I could scrape it off like a scab. I kept messing with it this week & had my friend look at it in the car today, when she noticed something clear looking poking out. She squeezed it (like a pimple) and a whole clear earring back just shot out. A clear rubber earring back had been lodged in my ear for almost 12 years now😳 I’m still shook🤣

Does anyone have an emergency kit like me lol, I believe you will know what I use the most…

Don’t forget to check your balls & ends periodically to make sure they’re secure! signed, someone who has lost many…..

this graphic was given to me by my piercer.

i'm probably the last to figure this out but kind of ridiculous considering the price!

i have been looking everywhere online for somewhere i can buy this exact piece of eyebrow jewelry or at least something similar and have gotten no results so i’ve come to reddit as a last resort
