Please only answer if you are a piercer, or have a similar(facial) surface piercing yourself!! Thanks.
I am really concerned it is rejecting. It has red lumps on either end(at the holes) and the lumps, and the area surrounding them are hard. Occassionaly puss comes out (!) The ball at one end is slightly indented in one of these lumps.It has been furiously itchy in the past week.
About a week & a 1/2 after getting it done, I knocked it, and upon a visit to my piercer, he said it was infected. I am cleaning it 3-4 times a day with a sea salt solution, trying my hardest not to knock it, and eating healthy, as well as taking multi vitamins!
It was pierced with PTFE which I hear now was not the best thing for the piercer to use.
What should I be seeing in a healthy piercing at this stage along?
What can I expect to see in a rejecting or migrating piercing?
Are any of the things I mentioned above normal for my type of piercing?
I appreciate your help people!!
Thankyou.

I have never picked my spots, actually I dont know how people can cos I find it pretty gross lol.

But one day (for some reason) I decided to go ahead and do it anyway. After that my spot went away. It didnt leave scars or anything

So is it true when people say that if you pick spots/zits or pimples it will leave scars? Or what about when you have spots and you DONT pick them - will it still leave marks?

Last year when I was practicing for a dance presentation for P.E. class- my friend told me my classmates told her I'm sexy. (I was wearing tight capri pants and a tee) My hips were 37 and my waist was 29. Why do they say I'm sexy when my stomach is so big? I'm embarrassed.

I really don't want to go down the laser route as it would cost me a small fortune. I've heard that getting the tattoo redone in white ink might help, as it will show up as flesh coloured. Does anyone know if this is true? I'm not too botherd if you can still see a faint outline because it's only noticable if I wear a strappy top or dress.

Why is it that when ever someone sees a tattoo they like, they have to copy it? I mean how many superman logo, nautical stars, and Asian symbol tattoos are out there? Why can't people just get their own ideas of a tattoo instead of coping others? I had designed a perfect tattoo for myself, that had alot of meaning to me and I showed it to a few of my friends and family. I just found out last night that one of my so called friends stole the design and had it tattooed on them. His reason, as he claims, was so we could have matching tattoos. He showed it to a few of his buddies and now all of them are getting it tattooed on them as well. Do you think this is wrong? I mean he didn't even ask me if he could use it. And now I'm afraid that my design, which I made so I wouldn't have the same tattoo as someone else, is now going to become the next superman logo or something. Is it wrong for me to be mad? What are your thoughts on this matter?

This might sound silly to some of you, but I want a symbolic tattoo that is sort of unique...

I was thinking of something to remind me of my husband, and all the unique and pleasant times we've shared, but I don't want it to be obvious or cheesy..

So, my nickname is kitten, I was thinking of blue cat eyes, with a nose, a mouth, and whiskers...on the back of my neck... What do you think? If no, any ideas?

Btw, our biggest achievement thus far has to have been getting married, for I am 17. (no kids or anything...)

I used to work in an animal shelter, and the vet tech had a small paw print tattoo on her right inner wrist. Today, I bumped into a girl and noticed she had the same tattoo. Upon browsing on myspace, I noticed a graphic with a silhouette of a woman with the same tattoo on her wrist. What does it mean? Does it symbolize animal rescue or something?

I am going to get my fiance's name tatooed on my right ankle. After we get married!! I normally think that tatooing someones name on yourself is stupid but im doing it because of a dream. Normally im not a spiritual person but in my dream I dreamt that my fiance died and I was walking on a sidewalk with leaves falling all around me. I stumbled over something and when I looked down it was a vine tied around my right ankle. In my dream I asked God why the vine was there and he told me that it was there to remind me of the love that my fiancee had for me and that his love like the vine would never go away. That dream means a lot to me and usually I dont go to church or anything so it really stuck in my head and thats why I want the tatoo. Any ideas or pictures for the vine?

I'm only 18, so I'm not even close to having kids, but i want to get a tattoo on my side. It'll start at my hip and go to about the bottom of my ribs or the middle of my ribs. if its just a vine and not like an actual picture, will it look horrible or real bad??

Basically everyone can raise both their eyebrows, but why can some people raise one? When one eyebrow goes way up and the other stays while you kinda squint that eye. I can do it with my left eyebrow only, but my friend can't do either. I've been able to do it forever. Is there a way to teach yourself to or does it just come naturally to some people?
