It took my nose around 2 years before it really felt properly healed. Before then it would occasionally flare up and swell every time I changed the jewellery. I have a screw in mine now. They do come...

Gutted - I've lost one of my rook piercings. It is no longer a double.

One of the new bars fell out and as it's so tucked away I didn't notice and I'm really good at not fiddling with them. It ws...

That sounds horribly familiar - I had awful problems with my nostril piercing and I remember trying to get the jewellery back in during the wee small hours whilst trying not to panic.

It'll be...

My conch was easy too. Healed very quickly (for cartilage!).

Yes his car will be fixed under warranty but we'll need to get rid of it as soon as the works done. A bit of belated research into these engines shows he's far from alone in having the engine fail...

Not a great week. Partner's car is off the road for a couple of weeks as it needs a whole new engine ( only 2 years old too) and someone ran into the back of mine this morning....luckily it's still...

That looks really irritated. What sort of jewellery do you have it there?

The tea tree oil won't mix with the water so if you do that you'll end up with neat tea tree oil on your raw skin. If you really want to use the tea tree then you need to dilute it with a safe...

Tea tree oil and aspirin are really harsh. If it was me I'd leave it completely alone, just rinsing with plain water every day and see how it goes. Can you get some better jewellery on line? You...

Interesting question!

I hang out with quite a few alternative culture people and piercings are so common I don't notice them. I am reasonably sure though that where I live they are far fewer...

I'm struggling to visualise this. Do you mean it's come undone and the open part of the ring is trapped inside the fistula?

Rooks looking a lot happier - still a bit red but getting there.:)

:)

Threadless - the first popped in with a bit of pressure, the second just wouldn't despite the original jewellery being identical in both.

I could obviously feel the resistance. I can only think...

So do I! This was a pro job from one of the top UK piercers! One just wouldn't go in. I'm far too clumsy to cope with small fiddly jewellery at awkward angles I can't see properly.

The...

Yup = pretty much par for the course I'm afraid. One of mine was grumpy for months. The other perfectly fine...

Snug jewellery is awkward. Most ends will point in the wrong direction so I want some jewelled ends where the jewel sits facing 90 degrees from the usual orientation. I'm also hoping they can claw...

Spent an absolute fortune yesterday on a jewellery upgrade for the rooks - the trouble with a double is everything costs twice as much. I have some lovely 18kt gold Sabrina ends from Anatometal.

Looks good :) I found my first rook to be one of the easiest healers.

Mike is lovely - he's done some of my piercings for me.

They heal just fine! I've never bothered with saline, just used plain water and I've had some notoriously difficult to heal piercings. If you make your own it's easy to use too much salt which causes...

Other than food it goes in one bin here too. The waste is sorted by the contractors at the roadside. Our council though is one of the worst for what it will recycle.

What jewellery do you have in? Is it implant grade titanium and a stud rather than a ring? It sounds really irritated.

That is a serious undertaking! How long does it take?

I struggle to change any of my "permanent" jewellery and it's only the lobes that I tend to ring the changes and even not that often. In fact...

Good luck! I did put a diary up on here so if you search you should find it.
