place the 16g back inside if you could withstand the pain - do for few days; leave it without taking the jewellery out til' the swelling goes down but clean daily around the piercing area

otherwise, leave it naked til' the area completely heals (but continue cleaning it everyday) and then try putting the regular piercing gauge (the 18G/20G) back

all the best in ur stretching!

thanks alot ninelives. i did what u asked and i notice that the pain has reduced significantly. no signs of being swollen as well. i will give it maybe another month before stretching to 16g again.

yea taking the jewellery out entirely is the best
happy stretching

Guys noob here once strached can it close back like normal? i supposed not.
Anyway i had 3 piercin in my left ear lobe and one on the helix, and one my right lobe.
Now retired to only one in each ear lobe.....
Cheers guys! peace

hi all..i'm new here..

Piercings :

2 in each earlobes
2 in left earbone (dunno what it's called) but already retired coz during highschool years it's not allowed for girls to do that
1 navel piercing (retired) coz of infection
those piercings i did 5 years ago when i was 16

now only have 2 in each earlobes and 1 new navel( just pierced 1 week ago)

experience:
earlobes, earbone and first navel were done by gun..it wasn't painful but the healing period was real bad..not recommended at all..

new navel was done by sterile needle and it's doin fine now
before i didnt know that gun isn't a proper way..but my current pierce artist told me the dos and the don'ts bout piercing so i'm pretty informed now..

i did the current piercing in melaka..the name of studio is tribe..it has website too which i forgot..heheh..
total cost RM 90= piercing+basic studs+aftercare cream
then i bought another jewellery to replace the basic studs for RM68

anyway, is silver save for body? how bout gold? i plan to make one custom made for my navel..
my friends told me stainless steel is better than silver or gold..
since i have no clue about this, anyone who got info ..do let me know

Hi...

my friend plan to get an ink...

Need some reviews here for the tattoo shop called Stec in Sg Wang...

good or not? really need some reviews here...
TQ!

Oooh I love piercings! Too bad I just have the most common piercings, which is on the both side of my ears.

GONNA GET A TONGUE AND CHIN PIERCING ONCE I GRADUATE! Any advice? I'm from Penang btw.

i think by chin, u meant to say labret piercing

penang..tak tau...PM me, i'd pass you a penang-nite contact who's a member of this group as well
but i'd ask her first anyhow

So, I got my snakebites yesterday. I just wanna ask a few questions.

1) How long will it take to heal?
My piercer said it'll take at least 2 weeks but has anyone's piercing healed earlier than that?

2) After it's healed can I change the jewelry myself or do I have to go back to the piercer?
