I was told to get it done with a bar, it helps it heal more an also the bars don't move around as much so easier to leave it alone unless cleaning, once it's healed it's fine to swap, urm I can't remember fully but I think it was maybe 12 to 16 weeks to healReading this thread is encouraging me to just get all the piercings I’ve had my eye on
Anyone with their Daith pierced … what was used a bar or a ring? My friend had hers pierced with a heart shaped ring years ago (similar below) though I’ve been researching it and not many suggest it’s safe to pierce with this type of ring straight away.

I just move it a little to the side, it doesn't really block the entrance to your ear so I've never had a problem cleaning inside my ear with mineFor those of you who had your daith pierced, how do you clean your ear. I mean, ear wax? Because it is so close to the entrance I am just worried about cleaning.
This was mine literally 10 mins after having it pierced. Can still see the pen markings lol.For those of you who had your daith pierced, how do you clean your ear. I mean, ear wax? Because it is so close to the entrance I am just worried about cleaning.
I had my conch done before Xmas, it is healing perfectly but I haven’t slept on it even for a day. But I am going to get my flat done. I want to do one ear done first before the next as I am a side sleeper myself.
It's probably best to go to the piercest an talk with them, but from my own experience I had a little irritation an some pus with mine as well, he said it was cause I was maybe using too much saline an not properly drying it after so the moisture was building up, I started using less saline an giving it a more proper drying once done an it seemed to work, but like I say the best person to ask is themCan anyone help with healing? I had two extra lobe piercings done with a gun (stupid, I know) almost a month ago, and while both holes are healing, one of them is still sore. I saw some pus coming out when I cleaned them today, too.
What bothers me even more is my navel piercing. I had it done with a needle on the same day, it healed alright until recently. Now it looks a bit irritated but it’s not sore or anything. I will put the pictures under a spoiler, can someone tell me if it’s infected or just irritated? I’m mostly worried about scarring, my skin is not prone to particularly bad scars or keloids but it usually takes ages to heal. Sorry for derailing the thread a little bit.

Sorry for nasty and awkward pictures, it’s a tricky place to take a picture of x
Thank you! Yes, I think I’m going to contact them if it gets worse. And I don’t remember the gun getting stuck - it happened to me years ago when getting my first piercing so I was very wary of it this time. Now I know I will have anything done with a gun though.

Also when you got your lobe done with the gun did they maybe move it slightly when they did it? When I got mine done years ago at Claires the gun got a little stuck an they way they moved it to get it back left my ear sore for months
I would definitely go back to your piercer. Mine was similar and I didn't due to lockdowns and unfortunately it got worse and ended up having to come out. Go sooner rather than later and I'm sure they'll be able to sort you out.Can anyone help with healing?

I think piercer usually advise against hoop, as the healing will take forever because it moves. Maybe find a nice bar and change it to hoop once it heals? I think even if they pierce you with a hoop, it will be bigger than usual helix hoop to account for healing?I really want to do a second helix piercing with a hoop. Can any suggest where I find some nice ones? All the hoop earrings I have are meant for lobes and too big.
I’ve got the lobe just below it (like a vertical high lobe) that looks pretty similar to get the look without the healingHas anyone had their anti-tragus pierced?
The placement and relative rareness of it intrigues me, but I've heard nothing but horror stories about them!

All I know is its stupidly expensiveHi. Have any of you get your piercing and jewellery from Maria Tash?
Pushpin fastenings bug me is the issue- I’m always paranoid they’ll drop offHi. Have any of you get your piercing and jewellery from Maria Tash?
I have three lobe piercings and I’m planning to get my conch done. I think they look good togetherI have 3x lobe piercings in both ears and an industrial/scaffold on my left ear, thinking about some kind of cartilage piercing on my right ear to make them look more balanced. I don't really want a second industrial as it took sooo long to heal! Any suggestions what might "go" nicely?
Mine heal perfectly. Is tucked inside of your ear so it is easier to heal. Do it.I have three lobe piercings and I’m planning to get my conch done. I think they look good together
Can somebody with a conch piercing tell if takes long to heal? Is it a pain to get?
That sounds great, thank you!Mine heal perfectly. Is tucked inside of your ear so it is easier to heal. Do it.
