Question

Can your Labrette split??? I've my eyebrow and my traygoe(split) before but I don't know if my labrette can split???

I forgot to say the I pierced my labrette by myself a few months ago.

Answer 1

If you pierced it by yourself you are at least going to have a worse scar than had a professional do it, but I doubt it will split. The only thing you should be concerned about it embedding.

But by splitting, you probably mean rejection, which is possible in all piercings, but definitely more likely to happen in some than others.

Keep in mind the eyebrow is a surface piercing and with the skin in that area being rather tight, there is always a high chance that it will reject.

As far as the tragus goes, if it wasn't pierced through the cartilage but rather skimmed through the skin, then yes it would have migrated out. Another issue might have been that your anatomy was not suited for the piercing yet someone pierced it anyway.

For the eyebrow and the tragus I blame whomever piercing them for not knowing what they were doing and if you didn't take good care of them, then it would also be your fault. Keep in mind, your body will ultimately tell you when something is wrong. And for your sake and for your health from now on, PLEASE have a professional piercer do your piercings.

Edit: In one of your former questions you stated you wanted to be a piercer. If you are going to ever go through with that, you need to stop piercing yourself now with shotty skills and equipment and start listening to someone who knows what they are doing. I'm not trying to be mean, but you cannot do that if you do not know what you are doing.

Answer 2

Not really.
By "split" I'm taking it that they migrated to the edge and then came out. With surface piercings like the eyebrow, migration is always a concern. Traguses (sp?) are less of a surface piercing, though their location lends to a lot of contact and irritation and it's notorious for migration as well...particularly if it was originally done close to the edge.

Due to the placement and the nature of the labret, it's more like an earlobe in that it's not subject to the kind of pressure that would lead to its migration...or splitting.

You're safe.

Answer 3

No, there is no such thing as a room. You cannot cross too a long way again at the tongue, similar to you shouldn't have been equipped to get one to a long way at the tip. If you imply are you able to get your tongues pierced separately, I do not consider that you simply will have to. You would rather turn out to be hurting your self. I'd ask a authentic piercer. A break up tongue is all you want, why damage it with a hoop? Keep it as is.

Answer 4

I assume you are talking about "migration," and I can't say I've ever heard of that happening with a labret piercing.


I will share a personal labret horror story with you, just so you can try to avoid this yourself.

I had mine done about 2 years ago, and I didn't want to wear any extremely noticeable jewelry in it, so I purchased a 16g labret stud with internal threading, and just a tiny diamond-looking jewel that showed, and the piercing was right underneath my lip, so I thought it looked cute.

One evening while I was eating dinner (at this time, I had had the piercing for about 5 months), the flat part of the jewelry that is inside my mouth got stuck on my bottom teeth while I was chewing, and since the stud was so small, it got pulled backwards into my lip.

Not fun.
It scared me a LOT at first, but surprisingly it did not hurt.

I ended struggling to push it back through my lip, and after all of this, I decided that a labret piercing just wasn't for me, and as much as I loved how it looked, I took it out and let it heal up. :(


So be careful with your bottom teeth! :)

Answer 5

piercing it yourself could have been a stupid move but anyway
no it cant split the reason why your eyebrow and your tragus split is because they are surface piercings and the body can reject them.
for my sake atleast i hope they dont split its a pretty awful thing to think about
