Healing doesn’t always go the way we wish it would, healing isn’t easy for a lot of people for so many different reasons, from all the reasons we can think of and a lot of reasons that we can’t.
Having a troubled piercing DOES NOT always mean you have to give up on it, we just need to figure out what your piercings demands are, and give it what it wants, sprinkle in some patience maybe a first born? and some stubbornness and voila ✨healed piercing✨
Don’t get me wrong sometimes it still doesn’t work out and we lose some along the way, but I WILL pep talk you to keep on keeping on, IF you want! ☺️
2 things that annoy me, 1. I didn’t take a photo of this piercing when it first came in for a troubleshoot and 2. I didn’t take a photo when it walked away the last time I saw it with a 5/32” (3.9mm) post in it, but if you swipe there’s still some cool pictures to show it’s progress!
And I’ll hurry this up because I would have stopped reading a post this long by now -
✨This piercing was 5 months old (not done by me) but implant grade materials and technically a very good piercing.
✨Client had it downsized the week before and the ear had eaten the jewellery because they hadn’t seen this studio before and the piercer just didn’t have the history with the client to know these ears don’t take well to change.
✨It was so swollen I think it left with a 7/16” (11.1mm) which is insane for a forward helix.
✨Slowly over almost a year we did teeny tiny downsizes or what we might refer to as ‘half downsizes’ which are just in between sizes to the ones we more commonly use.
✨Some visits we just checked up and gave it a little clean.
✨Some visits we tried different after care to see if it improved more or less.
✨Some visits it was looking more inflamed again, but this incredible and unbelievably patient client saw it out and it’s still out there living its best life today. 🥳
So if you’re having trouble with a piercing that you really wanna try make work please PLEASE just come see us for a troubleshoot and we’ll tell if you if it’s possible 🥰
