could you help me?
please, tell me the name of this type of piercing (that black transverse lobe one)
where is the capslock arab when we need him?
anyways, body modifications are not effay and all that

That's not a special type of piercing, it's just a normal, very standard, earlobe piercing.
Maybe you're looking for the type of jewelry?
That type of earring is called a huggie. It looks costum / hand made.
You'd probably have to commission a jeweler to make you a set of huggie earrings shaped like that. I rarely see them with such a wide shape.
I am stealing your thread for a little
I pierced my ear the other day with two holes on the left side. The chick who did it said I had to wear the piercings for 6-7 weeks
They are two blue balls and look cheesy as fuck. I want to take them out before 6 to 7 weeks.
Would that be a stupid idea? It was done with a gun.
I want to use some old earrings instead
>>12698789
Don't take them out. If you do, it could swell up and become infected. Just leave it in for 6 to 7 weeks.
>>12698793
Yeah I just googled it and it said the ones I have now are thicker than regular ones
I guess looking silly is a lot better than infected ears
thanks bro

next time buy some jewelry you like and pierce it yourself at home, there's no need to pay for ear piercings
>>12698789
You already fucked up by getting it done with a gun. Best to wait for 6-7 weeks

yeah I am aware of it now - read that doing it with a gun may be more stupid than doing it with a needle at home. but i was afraid of infections because my skin is really sensitive
but it was really cheap and I felt like doing it, so no regrets except for the six weeks
but is this shit supposed to hurt 3 days after? my ear is not red or anything but it actually feels really bad

If it's a faint pain that kinda comes and goes, it should be fine. Make sure you're applying the ear/piercing solution once or twice daily though, and don't try to twist the studs around in your ears.

I forgot asking, but is it really that safe to do it at home tho?
my dad took 6 holes in his ears when he was 16 with a needle and everything turned out alright but i always just thought he was lucky
or should you just go too a real piercing or tattoo studio and do it there?
>>12698689
ugly
>>12698789
Definitely don't take them out. Also use whatever tincture you were given as prescribed.
Sterilize the old earrings before use.
>>12698689
google "earrings tribal wood", you'll find the type in various shapes

Yeah it's safe to do it at home if you take all the necessary precautions. I got my left ear done with a gun when I was little, and when I was 12 I took a starter stud with a really sharp end, dipped it in alcohol and poked it through my right ear after I numbed it with ice. That's the wrong way to do it, but I got lucky and didn't get an infection. Make sure whatever needle you use is actually sterilized.
