The SO Piercing Questions & Discussion Mega-Thread

I actually like the sound of the needle technique better, because with a dermal punch they actually remove a circle of your skin in order to fit the anchor in. In my way of thinking, if more flesh is removed, it takes longer to heal and there would be more room for the anchor to be rejected/pop out of the skin.

BUT I am not a professional, I am but an enthusiast ;)
So if you want to get some done, make sure you find a reputable piercer who is specifically experienced with anchors and discuss it with them :)

That's what I did with the dydoes.
The guy I went to is certified in many different types of piercings. Way cool guy.
I'm going back in there in a couple days so he can examine his work and my care. I'll most likely talk to him then.
 
Excellent %)
I LOVED having a regular piercer. He became my mate. He really was the absolute best piercer in Sydney. But unfortunately he's gone AWOL. No-one in the Sydney piercing community knows where he is and his mobile number is disconnected :(
To be perfectly honest he is the ONLY person I'd trust to do my dermal anchors because he's been doing really experimental shit for many years. But hey, if I can't find him, then I'll have to find someone else. Boooooo.
 
I have a regular piercer who left the shop he was working at, which is why I haven't gotten any more piercings recently. He messaged me of FB 2 hours ago and told me he's now piercing from home :D

Yep, I've got a tiiiiiny bit of cartilage blow-out where I got an ear cartilage piercing with an ear-lobe piercing gun back when I was young and stupid. But over the last 10 years since I had it done (I took the jewellery out after about 6 months after I got it done) the cartilage lump has sloooowwwwly decreased. I can still feel it, but you can't see it.

I think time is the only remedy ap. Unfortunately I don't think there's anything else you can do, other than plastic surgery of course, which is probably not worth it?

Yeah, plastic surgery is definitely not worth it unless I come into some money haha. Hopefully time will diminish this a little bit--It's been the same size for the three or four years I've had it, or so it seems to have remained the same size. Time will tell. :)

Meh, granuloma, keloid, they're basically the same thing :p I'll agree the Google pictures are a bit disturbing though.

Ahaha, they don't look the same from the pictures! Oh well, hopefully time will take care of whatever I've got. And if not, oh well.
 
^^ For skin piercings, yeah 6-8 weeks should do it. I'd say 8 weeks though, just to be sure.

BUT in my experience with nose piercings, the time period you have to wait until you can change your jewellery is much longer than that. Because it's a mucous membrane it heals over super quick, so if you take out the jewellery prematurely, the hole can close over in a matter of like 10 minutes.

So many people I know have had to go and get their nose piercing re-done when they tried to change the jewellery too soon! Myself included ;)

vox you should definitely be okay to change it after 7 months though. Just make sure you're organised and have everything there ready to do it quickly, so the hole doesn't close over. Or, better yet, if you're concerned about it, visit a piercing parlour and get them to change the jewellery for you :)
 
Nice man :)

you've got more balls than I do if you go for the Apradravya man.
that shit looks waaay more painful than a dydoe. Haha.
I don't really see the appeal of a transurethural either...specifically a PA. I dont think I could justify losing the ability to pee in a straight line....


/random PA tangent
 
Yeah mate, ya might wanna have a coupla shots of whiskey before getting that done ;)
I didn't think you were serious by the way! Kudos :)
 
Whiskey? I was thinking some morphine might do the trick. And why didn't you think I was serious :(
