HELP:navel piercing since exctly 9 days nd kinda having a problem: the upper hole has slightly started 2 strech into the barbel's ball shape While it's possible that the barbell is just too heavy, navels are prone to rejection. If it looks like the hole is getting larger or there's redness around the holes and over the barbell where it passes through the skin, see your piercer. It may be rejecting, especially if it was shallow.

Answer to:
I just got my tragus piercing yesterday, which i got done with a ring. Could anybody tell me the best way to clean it? So far it's been awkward to clean since the ring is quite stiff and painful to rotate. ... Don't try to rotate or move it, piercings often tighten when they begin to heal and that's normal. Just wash it with gentle soap after washing your hands, and use saline soaks. You can remove crust with a cotton bud after soaking, but don't pick them off. Never try to move your jewelry, and never touch it with hands that haven't been just washed. ...

I recently met up with my friend and his fiancee, and they were coming on to me pretty strong, wanting a threesome/foursome. I have a boyfriend and he'd have to be included. Should I make a go for this? No one here can tell you that, although you're obviously considering it if you bother asking ABers. The person you should be talking to is your boyfriend. Before you say anything to them, you need to have a long talk about whether this is a one time thing, whether both of you want it, what would and wouldn't be allowed, and how you both might feel afterward. The depth of your...

As a new atheist, or at least agnostic concerning any atribute as to the cause of the universe, what reason do I have for not killing, stealing or raping at will, if I don't get caught, please dont say empathy, where is the empathy for the other animals. Because I will kill, rape, and steal from you in return, not necessarily in that order. If you willingly harm me or my loved ones, then I have no reason to respect your life, health, and property. So you can be a violent jackass, and I and my society will deal with you in some way unpleasant; or we can both agree to not kill and rape each other (at least most of the time, and we'll try...

Answer to:
I got my tragus pierced about 2 weeks ago but it's still sore. I clean it with sea salt solution 3-4 times per day. It doesn't hurt me badly (only if I touch it), there's no redness, only sore. Is this normal? Sound totally normal, but stop touching it unless you're washing it with clean hands, and even then don't turn or rotate the jewelry on purpose. Cartilage usually takes somewhere between six months and a year to heal. It may take longer. When there's no crust and soreness for at least a month, it's probably healed enough so you can change out the jewelry.

Can you get HIV (Aids) from lip piercings? If the needle was contaminated with HIV, then yes.

Look for certifications like APP that show your piercer has gone beyond what the law requires in order to do piercing safely and skillfully.

Answer to:
Can it be numbed first? Many UK piercers will numb sites for piercing. Most US piercers won't. Personally, my tongue was quite painless to pierce, all I felt was slight pressure. In my opinion, I don't like the idea of numbing. The piercing will still throb and be painful for a few minutes to a few hours, and when the numbness wears off, you're unprepared for it. If you feel the piercing, the pain...

I went to a reputable piercer yesterday and had my tragus pierced. Thing is he done it with a gun when I wasn't expecting it so I didn't have a chance to stop him. Also, by the looks of it he has just put a normal stud earring in. What should I do? :S No real professional will use a gun for any piercing. Compared to needles, they are traumatic and can't be sterilized. Find a real pro and ask them if they can insert some sterilized body quality jewelry in for you, and ask them about aftercare. It may take longer to heal, since guns create more ragged wounds than needles, and cartilage is very slow to heal anyway. I wouldn't say...

Is sex important to a relationship even if he or she is just your bf/gf?.. It's only important if the people in the relationship feel it is. If only one feels that way, then it's probably a good idea for them both to look for other people. Whether you want daily sex or yearly sex, you're better off dating people whose sex drive is similar to yours.

She wouldn't, and so he did. Fool broke his arm. And it certainly didn't get her back.

Ive had a belly button piercing for about three months and I was wondering what are the signs of infection. It is crusting a the ring is hard to move. Stop trying to move it, first off. Stop touching it altogether. Crust is normal during healing, as long as it's clear yellowish crust.

Symptoms of infection are redness,...

Does it hurt when you change your tongue piercing?or does that feeling go away after time? It shouldn't really hurt if it's fully healed. If yours is especially tender, get internally threaded barbells instead of externally threaded. That way the part going through your tongue is smooth, because the threads are on the ends instead of the bars.

My birthday is comming up soon. And I was wondering if i should get my bottom navel pierced. I already have the top so i was thinking both? But I'm not sure if it looks good. Or how you would wear two.. Anyone get both and regret it? I like double navels, but I think navels are so common anything that makes them stand out is neat. I suspect wearing a barbell with smaller balls on top would be more comfortable than the banana bars that have the one larger ball. If you like hanging jewelry, I would only wear that on the lower one, to avoid tangles.

Answer to:
I very recently had my navel pierced and I love it. I just want to ask: 1. what the signs of infection are (it should be obvious, right?) / 2. what it should look like when it's healing healthily/normally (it's still a little bit red and slightly tender) Signs of infection include deep redness, serious pain, swelling, heat, and pus. Remember that healing piercings release lymph fluid, which is normal and not pus. If you have clear, yellowish crust, that's normal. Opaque yellow or greenish discharge is bad, especially if it smells bad. So make sure you're using saline soaks and gentle soap, and keep up your aftercare for the entire...

Atheists, do you not believe in God because you don't want to be responsible for your sins? If being an atheist made you not responsible for your actions, I think there would be a lot more atheists around. I think it's rather the opposite. Atheists don't have beliefs that allow them to wash away their wrong actions, blame them on some evil entity's influence, or ask for forgiveness for them from anyone other than the people we have wronged.

I just got my tongue pierced and it doesn't hurt, but my tongue is rely dry and it look like mt tongue is cracking, what is going on?

If it doesn't improve soon, talk to your piercer about switching your jewelry. If it's steel, perhaps you're reacting to it, and would be better with a titanium barbell.

By what year (in the 1920's) did what was to become quantum mechanics seem to show that the belief in determinism and local causation represented in classical relativistic physics might be misguided and on what grounds? Was it before 1924? Max Plack won the Nobel Prize in 1918. Einstein got it in 1921. Niels Bohr in 1922. Heisenberg was 1932, and Schrodinger and Dirac in 1933. So somewhere between 1918ish and 1933ish. Planck himself admitted that his discoveries weren't compatible with classical physics, but apparently didn't dwell on it. Most of the theoretical implications were worked out by Einstein,...

I have a friend who I really like her but she only sees me as her brother what should i do to tell her that I want her to know I love her what should I do or say? If she's said she feels like you're a brother, you need to consider the possibility she already has an idea of how you feel. This could be her way of letting you know she loves you but wants nothing more than friendship. If you are close friends and she's not totally ditzy, then she probably has at least suspected how you feel. But if you are good friends, you can let her...

If you woke up at 4AM to use the restroom, and heard a noise comming from your daughters room, would you go in swinging with a pipe, or go in and just ask the guy to leave? I would probably listen long enough to determine the nature of the sounds. And then, depending on what I heard and the age of my daughter, either head in ready to murder, or slink away in red faced shame, and try to forget I heard anything.

Answer to:
Fathers, would you really do this ? mothers, would you support your husband if he tried to do this to your daughter? Ha! I'm sure that was a joke, something the families would laugh at. Something I would do if I were a dad. But maybe he is shiftless. And maybe the future ex-Mrs. John Patterson should have listened to her dad.

I have had same side of my nostril pierced twice. First time I had to take it out due to school before it was healed. The second time, it took long to heal, got irritated, and had to remove it. Should I get that side re-pierced or pierce the other side? Since scar tissue may heal a little slower, you may want to pierce the other side. But don't bother if you aren't leaving it in until it's fully healed this time. That means months of not changing the jewelry and following your aftercare without fail.

By the way this is the coolest my little pony custom I've ever seen: http://media.photobucket.com/image/custom%20my%20little%20pony%20tattoo/Great_WhiteSnark/My_Little_Stormtrooper_by_Spippo.jpg

Answer to:
I've been considering getting my navel pierced again and just found out my original piercing isn't actually closed.. I can fit a regular size earring through it.. can you 'stretch' your naval piercing like you would an ear piercing?% You can stretch any piercing, but it will probably take a little longer to stretch a navel, since it's more flesh. I would get a 16g taper and jewelry, you don't want to skip a size if that regular earring isn't very, very loose in the hole. Massages daily for a few weeks will help loosen it up and make the stretch easier. For ears you need to wait a min. of a month between...

I got my tongue pierced 3 day ago and i jus been usin mouthwash, and warm salt water to clean it is that okay??? and is it okay to jus rinse ur mouth wit warm salt water after you eat or drink anything? Yes, you're doing just right. If your mouthwash has alcohol in it, find something alcohol free and dilute it. Salt water doesn't really have to be an exact concentration for oral piercings, but it shouldn't be much saltier than tears.

Have you ever kissed or "been with" someone with a pierced tongue? How was it? For kissing it seemed the other person couldn't extend their tongue as far, thus making passionate movie kissing less likely. When I had my tongue pierced, I got it caught on someone else's barbell, and that sucked. It surprised me, I yanked my head back, pain for both of us. As for (ahem) other things, I never noticed it. Didn't make it any better or worse.

Answer to:
Okay, i just got my vertical labret pierced last night. at the moment i only have soap to clean it with, no salt. is that okay? It will work for now, until you can get some salt. Make sure you dilute it, and the more scents and stuff it has the more you need to dilute it, and make sure to rinse thoroughly. Leaving it alone is the most important thing to remember. Some people can heal piercings with almost no aftercare, just by making sure they never touch it.

Answer to:
Why do you have to keep the starter belly ring in and not trade out another one during the healing process? Jewelry changes are traumatic to healing tissue, not to mention the introduction of something that's not sterile. So pushing the new piece through may cause a tiny scrape, and the bacteria on the jewelry now can cause an infection. So if you feel you must change it, get a piercer to autoclave and insert it for you.

Im at a 6g for a month now&i was in the shower&tried to stretch to a 4g&it just wouldn't go through; i read that if you put the taper in as far as it can go&wait a few hours[days]&try pushing the rest in.. is that true? how can i get it through? thankks. Wait another month and try again, your ear isn't ready. If you can't push the taper through in less than a few minutes, then your ear needs more time to loosen before getting to 4g. Don't wear tapers long term.

Answer to:
I just got my vertical labret pierced. how come i cant clean it with regular salt? why must it be sea salt? You need pure salt, that's why you don't use table salt in general. In addition to iodine, most table salt has anti-caking ingredients, like bone meal. You don't want that in your piercing, so look for 100% pure salt. Most often the sea salt and kosher salt you find in the grocery are pure, which is why they are recommended. Table salt will work if you're desperate, but...

Can I do this when it has not healed all the way and there is a slight infection? If so how do I clean it once its out If you know it's infected (very red, swollen, painful, leaking pus) then don't take it out until the infection is cleared up. Otherwise, the hole may close with the infection inside, causing more problems. Leaving the jewelry in keeps the path of drainage open. Use soaks made from sea salt or kosher salt, and wash it gently with the purest soap you have. When the infection is...

Answer to:
I went a purchase some new barbells for my tongue and I wanted to know how would I sterilize it before I use them. And do I do this every time no matter how long my tongue is pierced. If your piercing is healed enough for a jewelry change, you should be fine washing it with nothing but soap and water. If you're paranoid you can boil them and use alcohol on them too, but for a fully healed and healthy piercing it shouldn't be necessary.

I got my earlobes pierced but had to take them out about 24 hours later to have an x-ray taken. When I tried to put the studs back on about 6 hours later, they wouldn't go in. How long should I wait before getting them re-pierced? You can probably go to a piercer and have them repierced immediately, but you can wait until they are healed if you wish, which may be less painful since you aren't dealing with wounded tissue.

Can Plan B (aka Morning After Pill) affect your menstrual cycle two to three months after taking it? It can affect your next period, you may get it early or late or it may be otherwise different, but I would think at three months anything unusual you would want to look into.

If soaking and chamomile don't help, try adding a drop or two of tea tree essential oil to...

Ask if you can replace it with a retainer made from PTFE or glass. If that's not an option, I would try to get a 16g taper (or whatever size your brow is) to help reinsert it. It's possible it will have shrunk too much in that time to reinsert the jewelry without pain. In that case, you should just get it pierced again, don't force the jewelry in.

I want to know if i can get Snake Bites (im 11 years old) and if possible i want to know if it will hurt (if i cant get them pierced at age 11 then what age???) If you have your parents' permission, you'll need to call shops and ask, since while it may be legal with permission, individual shops often have their own age limits. If no permission, then you'll need to wait a few years depending on where you live. And it will hurt. How much depends on your pain tolerance.

Answer to:
Fear has such a stigma attached to it. What kinds of fear are legitimate for one's protection/survival? Are phobias ever legitimate in these ways? By definition, a phobia is not useful, because it's an irrational fear that interferes with your daily life. It's good to be afraid of spiders, so you don't get bitten by poisonous ones. It's not good to be so afraid you spend three hours a day looking for spiders in your bedroom, or leave work because you thought you saw one. Phobias occur when a natural fear gets out of...

Jupiter is 318 times as massive as Earth, but has very little oxygen in its core and virtually none in its mainly hydrogen/helium atmosphere. How did tiny Earth get all its oxygen when massive Jupiter went lacking? Stromatolite forming bacteria played a large part. Taking in carbon dioxide and pooping out oxygen.

What is the best one to use tampon or panty liner Personally I love the Diva cup and will never go back. Pads are a pain because they can shift and bunch up, or fold over at the edges so when you yank your pants down it rips out some pubes. But I hate the way tampons feel, and TSS isn't a thrilling prospect either. When it's an emergency I'd rather borrow a pad than a tampon, but my cup is my friend.

Some things you should have discussed before ever beginning these threesomes: If the condom fails, and she became pregnant, what will you do? Would she take the morning after pill?

I have had my trague's pierced for bout 2 months now on one of them i cant get the hoop off i have the ball off but the hoop itsnt just slipping off that easy can u help me on how to get it out..thanxs Shouldn't be taking it out at 2 months, so see your piercer about jewelry changes. If you've decided not to keep the piercing, washing it in very warm water, soaking it in warm saline, and a little emu oil (or slippery ointment safe for puncture wounds) should help jewelry slide out.

Answer to:
Do tattoo artists need to have excellent freehand drawing skills or is it mostly about tracing and being able to keep the needle steady? It helps to be a better conventional artist, all things being the same I want the artist that can draw over the one that can just trace really well. But learning to draw well is easier than learning to tattoo well, so a better freehand artist isn't necessarily better than a more experienced tattooist.

Are any women switching to Henna and doing the no chemical dye for your hair anymore? What is your story. Love it, henna has made my frizzy hair smoother and shinier, although some of the curl has gone, so now it's more wavy than curly. But I love the grey coverage, love the color, I even love the smell it has for a few days. I especially love how I can go months without re-doing it, and it blends better than chemical dyes, so you don't have obvious roots after a few weeks.

This morning I took my earings out b4 I went into the shower. When I got out I went to put them back in but one wont go back in. What Happened an how do I fix it? If it was recently pierced or stretched, you shouldn't be taking it out. If it's an older piercing, take a hot shower or soak it in hot water, and then lube the earring and try to insert it. You may need to get a taper in the same size as your piercing to insert it. If it won't go, don't force it. It's better to repierce it later than to damage it now.

Then I'd probably ask what it was like to be a god. I'll bet they'd say they liked it.

Although it didn't get really bad until about one to two thousand years ago. Somewhere in there.

Can i consume alcohol or weed after 4 -5 days i get my tongue pierced? Alcohol is dehydrating and you'll probably wake up with a tongue the size of a dead cat, and you'll set your healing time back a bit. Smoking anything is a bad idea. since sucking puts pressure on your tongue right where the piercing is usually placed, so more likely to cause bleeding and more swelling. Wait a few weeks, take it from someone who made that mistake.

My 14 year old daughter just told me that she was close to having sex. She didn't get her first period yet. I told her that she can still get pregnant even tho she didn't get it. Am I right? For every first period, there's a first ovulation, and so of course you could get pregnant without ever having a period. If she's planning on having sex she should be in birth control and know how to use condoms. And she should be having a serious discussion about it, since 14 is, in my opinion, a little young to start having sex.

Can Anyone Die From a Tattoo Job? Yes, as Sharona said. You can die from an infected paper cut. Any breach of your skin carries at least some small chance of infection, which carries some chance of killing you. Which is why you find a good artist, know your local regulations and make sure they follow them, and know what you need to do to care for a tattoo before you think about getting one.

Since it takes about six months on average for piercings to fully heal, and lobes usually need at least 3-4 months, 2 days won't make a difference.

I had mi labret pierced about 3 years ago but took it out a few months after it heeled (its been out for about 2 an a half yrs) but now i want it back in. will it hurt to push it bak through? is it dangerous to do it myself? Yes to both questions, although you can lube up your jewelry and press it against the hole and see what happens. Don't force anything, and it's safer to try at least one size smaller, two sizes smaller would be better. If it fits, great. If you want to go larger, you can stretch it. But if nothing's going through, get it repierced by a pro.

Is FORCING some one to live selfish? If i wanted to kill myself what right do others have to try and prevent this? Do i not have a right to terminate my own life? I think you do. I also think that everyone should try to contribute to the well being of the human race, and the living usually go more good than the dead. So if ending your life does a lot of good for humanity, then it's a noble thing. But I see suicide as cowardly because it's a way to escape your responsibility to other people. You have a right to do with your life what you...

Is it emotionally or psychologically harmful for a 14 year girl to take a life drawing art class where there are nude men and women models? Doubtful, in my opinion. I'm sure it will be titillating and emotionally charged, but there's more value in that than in her sneaking Skinemax softcore late at night. At least she'll learn to draw well.

Whats the difference between psychologists, therapists, and counselers? Per the APA, to call yourself a psychologist, you need a PhD or a PsyD degree. Psychiatrists have medical degrees as well. A therapist is someone that specializes in a type of therapy, and usually this person will have some type of degree in either psychology, social work, sociology, or medicine. A counselor can be anyone that counsels people in any capacity. Often it is used synonymously...

That day, no. You need to wait until it's healed, and to be safe a little longer than you think. You don't want to risk damage or infection, and the wait will make it better. But from everything I've heard, hoods involve very little pain and heal quickly, often in under 2 weeks. My only friend with a VCH said it was the easiest of all her piercings, less painful than...

Why is it that cork-asian people have blonde hair, brunette hair, red hair and their eyes range from blue to green to brown. While black, asain and chineese people have basically just black/dark brown hair and dark/light brown eyes? So in the beginning early humans probably had medium skin tones, since they lived in warm climates. Eventually some of them moved north, where over time they inherited lighter skin that could absorb more sunlight and create vitamin D much better in their high latitude habitat. Some moved south and evolved darker skin for more protection in the hottest and most sunlit climates. Hundreds of...

Downsize at least to a 0g, 1g if you have it. Blood and pus are really bad, you need to treat it like a new piercing and start all over. That means sea salt soaks, gentle washing and no touching, and letting it heal for months. Do oil rubs once the wound is healed to help stop scar tissue and keep your ear stretchy Try again in 6 months, or when there's a good bit of space when you tug...

I have an inverted navel piercing. The problem is that I havent changed the jewelry since I got pierced over a year ago because I cant find anything. What kind of decorative barbell would work on an inverted piercing? The normal design gets snagged a lot. A cheap solution would be to get lots of different ends: spiked balls, cones, disks, balls in many colors and sizes, or ends with stones or gems if you're into that. Most of the jewelry styles I can think of wouldn't be better for not getting snagged. Unique things like claws, twists, and spirals would probably be worse.

When you are getting your nipples pierced, do you get to choose between having a barbell or a ring/hoop? Yes, you can choose. Some piercers will recommend one or the other, or have different prices (bars usually are a little more expensive.) They both have good and bad points.

If so, then aren't unfertilized eggs & "unsuccessful" sperm basically "life being destroyed," when they are expelled from a woman's non-pregnant body? Well, if life begins before conception, and we term the sex cells as alive, then logically expulsion of unfertilized eggs is death. Millions of sperm minus one, perhaps two, would be destroyed as well even in a successful impregnation. But to be fair I doubt that anyone opposed to abortion would see it as such. Even the most adamant opponents don't condemn women for natural...

Why do men find the woman's back sexy? (The small of the back, I think is what I've heard it called) Because it's the midpoint between the breasts and hips.

Answer to:
Can i use antiseptic earcare for tragus piercing It would be better to use a saline soak, and some people find just washing it regularly is better than ear care solution, which is often not much more than rubbing alcohol. I would use it if I needed to clean it and had no soap, like if I was camping or on the run from vigilantes.

Answer to:
I pierced my tragus last night, at home. i have a nose ring in there right now. how long should i wait to change it? how do i clean it? Foolish to pierce yourself without knowing these things before hand. You'd probably be doing yourself a favor by letting it heal and close before it causes problems or gets infected. You clean piercings with a saline solution, you can use 1/8tsp of sea salt to 8oz. very warm water, and soak it for 5-10 minutes at least once a day. Wash it with gentle soap and keep your hands away...

Answer to:
Why do piercings always smell really strange? i thought it was just my ears, but my lip is like it too. theyre not infected or anything, just smell...odd! Wash all your piercings every day and you probably will never notice it. Take your jewelry out and wash that too. Use a skin safe oil to insert them if they are tough to get in after washing (ear cheese smells gross but it does lubricate the piercing.) As nicole said, it's dead skin, combined with the oils and sweat from your body. Many call it ear cheese, because no one likes the...

Answer to:
Is ear piercing the oldest form of body piercing? Very possibly, but I would think almost impossible to prove. Logically, the parts first pierced would be that parts easiest to stab something through and heal, so lobes or nostrils seems like a safe bet. Perhaps piercing came about after someone was injured in a way where the body part healed with a hole, and I can picture a torn lobe turning into a pierced lobe.

What does it mean when you taste copper in your mouth after a piercing? I have had it for about 2 months and this is concerning to me. Any suggestions? Blood tastes coppery, and after two months you shouldn't be bleeding. Did you injure it at all? Are you having other problems and following your aftercare? If all seems well, perhaps a jewelry change. Maybe you just have super-senses and can taste the miniscule amounts of blood that may leak out of a healing piercing, but I would have your piercer take a look to be safe.

What's the best nose piercing? A Straight Stud or a curved one? Which one hurts more when you put it in? You have two good choices for nostrils. Any ring, or a nose screw.

Avoid nose bones, straight pieces with flares on the inside, at all costs.

I Had my cartilage pierced last wednesday and it was fine afterwards until saturday night i woke up and it had been bleeding quite bad during the night and my whole ear was swollen and it still is now, it has also bled a little since. im really worried! Sounds like you slept on it and injured it. Try sea salt soaks and making sure nothing's touching it, ever. Sleep on the other side and build a ledge with pillows or blankets to keep yourself from rolling over onto it. If it gets worse or isn't better in a few days, see a doctor, because irritation can weaken things enough to let an infection begin.

You'll find some that claim rings are easier to heal since they allow for easier drainage and don't have something against the hole.

You should use a glass retainer, since it won't be healed after a month, and you shouldn't use plastic in an unhealed piercing. I would leave the retainer in, not switch it from the barbell to the retainer every day, as that will just irritate it and increase the risk of infection. Here's one: http://bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?ProductID=2132

Long ago, in grade school, I learned a poem that was to help me identify poisonous and non-poisonous snakes, by color. Can you recite that poem for me? Thank you. The way I heard it was "Red on yellow, kill a fellow, red on black, lacks attack. Coral snakes have yellow bands separating the red and black stripes, and are pretty poisonous. King snakes have black bands between the red and yellow, and aren't poisonous. They're good garden snakes to have.

Answer to:
I can't find any statistics but my impression is than there are many more male-to-female than female-to-male transgendered. Since men earn more for the same work and aren't subject to a glass ceiling, why is this? It's possible that there's a biological process that causes or increases the likelihood of transgenderism, so perhaps the process is more likely to occur in males. It's very possible that social factors don't play a large role.

I have a small piercing in my ear cartilage and it is sore a lot even though I had it done months ago and its not infected or anything. A friend of mine told me that hers does the same thing. Has anyone else experienced this and did it ever stop hurting? Usually constant soreness is bad jewelry material, but if less than a year old it may not even be fully healed, and continuing your aftercare should help. Gunned piercings often stay tender longer because the wound isn't as smooth and takes longer to withstand pressure and movement without irritation. Cheap jewelry also can cause problems, implant grade steel has far less nickel than...

I am not asking for religious reasons, I just want to know if a girl who waits will get more respect from men in general (not just religious guys). Possibly.

Will a tragus piercing fall out?? my boss wants it out because he thinks it will fall out but if i can prove it wont then i can keep it. Most body jewelry that you would choose for a tragus won't fall out as long as balls are tightened, tension is kept, etc. Nostril screws wouldn't even be likely to fall out without rubbing them or something. Body jewelry is designed to stay in place.

I just got my septum pierced, i absolutely love it to the max it's amazing it doesn't hurt, but there's one problem. It's extremely crooked and noticeable, i just got it yesterday, my sister says just soak it, to get the crusties out, and wait to heal. I may heal perfectly fine, or it may truly be crooked. You can wait a few days for the swelling to do down and see how it looks, or get a piercer's opinion about the placement. If it's really crooked and you want it nice and straight, take it out and let it heal while you're looking for a new piercer.

Answer to:
Is it possible to reverse septum droop by pushing the jewelry against the cartilage above it? Doubtful, since the skin beneath will always be more elastic that the cartilage above.

Are you doing saline soaks every day? You might try adding a drop of tea tree essential oil to your soak.

I'd try always washing and sea salt soaking it before trying to remove it. And an internally threaded piece would be better, where the threads are on the ends, so the jewelry...

Answer to:
Is it ok to get a tattoo while one of my ear piercings is infected? It's not best, but if you're taking care of it and you're healthy in general, you'd probably be ok. It would be better to wait until your ear is fully healed. Doing it sooner might increase the healing time for the tattoo and the ear, or cause other complications.

I've seen ads for those, yes.

My friend says that 80% of people smoke pot-- Do you think that's true? Maybe in a society where pot's tolerated and easily obtained, close to 80% of people will try it once in their lifetime. But it still seems like a very high figure, I have a hard time imagining that 4/5 of all people have tried it, much less use it even occasionally.

My ears have been gauge 2 for the past 6 months with the same silicon eyelets in. Recently they became very dry and itchy and now are definitely infected. It's been 4 days now, ive been cleaning & applying antibiotics. No improvement. Any advice? You stretched with silicone? were they the new coated Kaos plugs or just some off brand ones? If you're just wearing them after healing time, are they still Kaos? If you stretched with silicone, that's probably your trouble, if not, you're possibly developing an allergy or sensitivity to it. I'd put in some glass, sea salt soak, and give em some gentle oil rubs to help...

Answer to:
I had my tragus pierced with a labret stud, i was told not to twist my piercing when i clean it, or at all for that matter. Can anyone shed some light on to why i cannot twist it? With all my other piercings I have been told to twist the Don't twist. There's no need to pull stuff into the piercing or drag the stuff inside against your healing flesh. Soaping the outside alone is fine, sea salt soaks pull out what's inside so you don't need to worry about cleaning the inside of the wound.

Answer to:
I got my belly button pierced in October (so 4-5 months ago) and though it is healing, it is crusty and "sticks" to the jewelry where it comes out of my skin. After I clean/soak it, it moves fine but when it dries, it sticks again. What should I do? You shouldn't worry about it. It won't permanently bond to your skin, I promise. Don't try to force it to move. When it's fully healed, probably in another 6 months or so, the fistula will loosen and it won't feel stuck anymore.

I want to get my cleavage pierced (surface piercing) and i've been looking on the internet and they say that a lot of people's body "rejects it". I was wondering what the reasons are and if me being kinda skinny might cause it to reject. Rejection occurs when it's easier for your body to kill the skin over the jewelry and "push" it out than to heal the wound with the jewelry in. Rejection is more likely in shallow piercings, piercings with lots of movement, thin gauges not placed deeply enough, and also just how your body reacts. To minimize your chances you want a very experienced piercer that uses surface...

It's straight, with a flared end or small ball on the inside.

Stupid, evil idea for jewelry.

I want to get it repierced but i'm not sure if its gonna look right with the bumps. HELP ME!!! Get some emu oil or jojoba or vitamin E and massage the scars a few times a day, it may help reduce the scar tissue and soften the skin. It won't remove all traces, but it may look better. An orthopedic surgeon told me to start massaging scars as soon as the wound is healed and not too tender for it, to help break up the scar tissue that's forming.

If they did it, they usually won't charge, but since you say the guy didn't tell you much about it, I would look for another...

Answer to:
I'm getting my naval piercied in a few weeks,and i've heard that H20cean is good for some piercings and am wondering if its good for a naval piercing? Warm soaks actually pull out things in the piercing, whereas saline sprays just sit on it. It's better than nothing, but not as good as soaking, or just plain soap and water in my experience. Not a bad idea to have some for those times where washing or soaking is impossible, but in my opinion not superior to APP aftercare.

Answer to:
I just got my tongue pierced a week ago and it itches like crazy is that normal and when will the itching stop? Things itch when they're healing. Warm sea salt soaks will help a little with the itch and alot with healing. You can gently swish or gargle, but don't spit.

Answer to:
What is the cost of getting your belly button pierced, and where should I get it? Around $50-$80, depending on where you go, the experience of the piercer, and the jewelry you choose.

It's not always the most expensive that's the best, but it's usually never the cheapest.

It's not the gender, it's the relationship of the person to me that makes it offensive or not, or the connotation they're assigning to it. My best friend, boyfriend, and brother can all call me a bitch and I laugh; usually it's when I'm purposely being a bitch. Now if they really meant it, I would be able to tell by the way they said it, and I would be offended. But...

Which book by George Orwell do you like better: "Animal Farm" or "Nineteen Eighty-Four"? What's memorable about it? Both are good, but 1984 is one of those books that provokes serious emotion. I squeezed the pages, at times I thought I would tear it in half. I growled and cursed and gnashed my teeth. At the end, I threw the book against a wall. And I tried to convince myself that the ending wouldn't have been mine, and tried to ignore the fear that I would have been broken just as easily. Not many...

After survival needs are met, does the pursuit of happiness drive human behavior? I think the pursuit of prosperity drives human behavior, which itself serves survival. Survival isn't only about food, shelter, and safety. It's about procreation, and so many desires directly or indirectly serve that, whether individually or communally. Symbeline is right, survival doesn't end until you're dead, and the only way to compensate for that is to create both...

Listen to fred, it may take longer. Don't just insert something larger, you'll probably tear your piercing and put you back at the beginning of healing.

Flared jewelry in nostrils is just a bad idea, since a nostril can shrink quickly.

Of course if you go to a professional, treat it well, and aren't rolling in the mud then it would be very unlikely a tattoo would cause you harm.

I have a Prince Albert piercing, Now I have to sit-down to pee. Is there any solution start standing up to pee? Ok, this may sound incredibly stupid, but I'm a girl so forgive me. Can you kind of pinch the hole shut? (automatic blushing) This sounds like a question for BME.

Answer to:
I got my belly button pierced about 5 days ago. the piercer guy said to wash it three times a day with unscented soap and warm water..and to do NOTHING else. is this ok? This would be ok for some people. This would not work for me or most people I know, most piercings need more care. Saline soaks and provon soap no more than twice a day have given me the best results. Personally, I'll use about any soap, because I know I usually don't react to scents and dyes. Some swear they must have diluted tea tree oil for their piercings, some use ointments...

How long do you have to wait before you can take an industrial bar out to clean it good....and my ear....without the super big worry of infections and sh**. If you want it to heal as fast as possible, do not take it out for at the very least six months. Soak it in sea salt solutions, and gently clean off crusties with a cotton bud. Wash it with gentle soap, and don't touch it otherwise. The saline solution pulls material out of the piercing, so there's no need to remove the jewelry to clean it. In fact, it will only irritate the...

I want to become a piercing and tattoo artist when i get a little older do i have to have a certain education? First, I'd like to say that I view tattoo artists and piercers as two separate things, and the best piercers I know aren't tattoo artists, and vice versa. They're related fields, but the best of each tend to specialize. But that's not to say you can't do both, and the path you'd take for either are similar. An apprenticeship isn't easy to get,...

Why do i have a foul smell coming from my ears? there 6g and theyve always smelled and a whitish thick puss comes out every once in a while i clean them every day in the shower and with alchohal i dont think they are infected though Most likely, that's not pus. That white stuff is ear cheese. Smegma. Dead skin cells, oil, dirt, and sweat that builds up. Stop with the alcohol, just use what you normally do when a body part stinks: soap. Wash all piercings at least once a day. Often your jewelry material can affect how much cheesy funk your piercings produce. Try organics like stone, horn, wood, or bone....

My gay best friend,has opened Pandoras box again. He claims he's gay, but keeps coming back to me for "favors", I am a full figured older woman, and I have fallen in love with him. If he is Gay why does he keep coming back? Probably one of three things. He's gay, and using you for sex because there's no commitment on his part. He's bi, and using you for sex, and telling you he's gay so you won't expect commitment. Or he's straight, and telling you he's gay so he can use you for sex with no commitment. If he knows you're in love with him, and he gets favors while...

Is there really a guy rule, the "3 days later" you can call her after you get her number? The reason you don't want to call right away is you don't want to seem desperate or stalkerish. But if you wait too long, it seems like you don't care at all. So 2-3 days is a good timeframe, because it appears that while you have other things to do, you wanted to talk to them enough you couldn't wait more than a few days.

Water won't "flush" the thc out, but it will dilute your urine to the point that the percentage of metabolites are below the cutoff point for failure. You're lucky, since often they will fail you if your urine is too clear or if your salt and creatine levels are unusually low.

If she's had one set since she was small, it's not really a big thing. If she just got them recently, it may be better to wait, since I known many girls that gave up wearing earrings after a year or two.

It if was tight/tender going in, go ahead and do sea salt soaks daily for a week or two, just to help keep it clean and happy while it readjusts to having the jewelry in. Emu oil can help moisturize your piercing, which helps when stretching a piercing that has shrank. If you see blood, crusties, or clear fluid, do the soaks longer. When the crusties stop, continue the soaks for another...

Answer to:
My g/f was recently perscribed the pill but is now late on her period. We havent had sex since she started the pill. so would a doctor perscribe the pill if she was already pregnant? Starting birth control can make your cycle change somewhat, so just being late doesn't mean something's wrong or she's pregnant. If she hasn't had sex since her last period (regardless of when she went on birth control) then she's not pregnant. If she's worried, she should take a pregnancy test and talk to her doctor.

But if you refuse to just deal with your period (what woman hasn't had a birthday period, vacation period, or super-important-lifechanging-day period?) then just as a guess I'd say early is better than late. Of course you should talk to your gyno either way. To me, there's nothing you can't really do when you've got...

If it's a newer piercing then you can probably...

Answer to:
Why would my belly button ring be "growing out" of my skin? It is pierced too shallow, or your jewelry is the wrong shaped and puts pressure on the fistula, or your navel is just a bad shape for piercing. Whatever the reason, a piercing rejects when it's less effort for your body to kill the skin on top and heal that than to heal the flesh around the jewelry. If it's rejecting, take it out, because it usually leaves a large scar.

Guns aren't meant for cartilage and can actually shatter it. Picture broken glass, but your ear cartilage. Plus guns can't be sterilized and use blunt force trauma to pierce your ear. Professionals use sterile materials, have a lot more training, and can give you proper aftercare advice. Most places that gun ears give you bad advice, cheap jewelry, and scar...

How long do you have to keep cleaning your tragus after you have had it done? Until the crust and pain stops, and then another 3-4 weeks to be sure it's healed nicely. You should still wash it regularly.

Answer to:
Is there anywhere in Manchester that you can get a tattoo under the age of 18 with a parent, Please let me know =) I don't believe you can be tattooed under 18 in the UK. Anyone that would overlook the law, whether your parent consents or not, isn't someone you should trust to tattoo you.

I had my nose pierced yesterday& they have put me a stud which i think its a little bit bigger than the usual ones.I wanna change it cos i dont like it to be that big but its only the second day i got it.I feel kind of pain when im smiling is that normal? If you really want it changed, go back to your piercer and have them change it out. But it would be best to wait at least a few weeks, unless the jewelry is causing problems with healing.

Answer to:
I got my bb peirced in June. It swelled alot during the healing. Now its healed and not swollen but now i can use really short bars. Could it be migrating? I CANT see the bar threw my skin or anything im just not used to being able to fit such a short bar Are the holes red, flaky, irritated, or do they look larger than they used to? If not, it's probably fine, but keep an eye on it for a month or two to be safe.

Answer to:
A few months ago I got a barbell piercing in my cartilidge, anyways I think it is now infected, there is a blister and it is itchy. Is there a home remedy or something I can do to help the infection? I can't go to the doctor and do not want to remove it Do sea salt soaks as LilFred described, and if it doesn't improve quickly try adding a drop or two of tea tree essential oil to the soak. Never touch it without washing your hands, and try not to touch it at all. But if it's swelling, very painful, and the area around the bump is red or hot, you probably need to see a doctor.

I want to buy my boyfriend a tattoo gun for christmas, but I don't know anything about them. Is there any certain one I should get or something? Pretend price doesnt matter. If he's an artist at a shop, call his coworkers and ask their opinions. Or find some good artists in your area and ask them.

Answer to:
When you and your partner have a disagreement, and you know they are wrong but they do not want to back down, is it wise to use this time to teach them a lesson? You let it go and be the bigger person, let them realize they were wrong on their own. My boyfriend wins all our arguments because he refuses to argue. I can't even get one started before I feel like a jerk. It's like a Jedi mind trick.

Answer to:
Hi!!! well I have my tragus pierced and I want to take them off but: would they leave me like a big hole on my ear or is it going to heal? I know the cartilage never heals again but the skin does right??? please help!!! thanks!! What size were they pierced at? They will most likely shrink, the skin will probably grow over the hole. And unless it was dermal punched, then no cartilage was removed, so in theory it may shrink and fill in with weaker scar tissue. Small piercings may leave scars but often close. Oil massages speed healing by increasing blood flow and help break up scar tissue.

I got my cartilage pierced a year ago, and it still hurts really bad to touch it. I keep it in 24/7, cleaning it and changing the earring frequently. I'm afraid it will close up if I take it out. Is this normal or is it infected? At a year cartilage is usually healed, or at least mostly healed. But you say you're changing the jewelry frequently, so stop that! It sounds like you're doing too much and not letting it heal on it's own. Buy one piece of high quality jewelry, titanium would probably be best, and don't change it. What are you cleaning it with, and how often? Try just washing it once...

Answer to:
I just went from a 6g to a 4g, my ears are killing me. how do i stop my gauges from hurting? or atleast relieve the pain a bit It's not supposed to hurt when you stretch. You should downsize and wait longer. Do some soaks to make sure nothing goes wrong, and try oil massages to help your skin become more elastic and stretchy.

Answer to:
I just got my tragus peirced and i got told to just clean it with walm salt water. is this right as most people use the proper cleaning stuff? Yes, but make sure it's pure salt. Like sea salt, kosher salt, organic, etc. No added ingredients. And the "proper" cleaning stuff they overcharge you for is just basically rubbing alcohol, not the best thing for puncture wounds.

Answer to:
For a first tattoo can they freeze/numb it? They shouldn't, for two reasons. It's probably not a good idea to put something on the skin before a tattoo that you don't want in your bloodstream. Also unless it's the world's quickest tattoo, then the numbness will be gone long before the tattoo is done, and by that time you would have gotten used to the pain.

Answer to:
How old should your child be before you get their ears pierced? Old enough to tell you they want it, to understand it will hurt and that they will have to be very careful with it, and old enough to understand infections and other risks and be wary of them. I know some seven year olds that would probably take good care of new ear piercings. I know some adults that probably shouldn't be trusted with them.

Can anybody name a store in the uk (preferable south east -london etc-) that would pierce my tummy but still be professional... im 13.

What is the right shape for a belly button piercing? As in, how tone do you feel someone needs to be in order for a belly button piercing to look good? As long as your tummy doesn't crease around your navel you'd be fine. But I think belly button piercings look best on a rather flat but soft belly. On a young and flat or curvy tummy it's going to look its most feminine. To me it would look out of place under highly toned abs, or on a pot belly.

Is bioplast really the best type of body jewelry to be peirced with? Some people swear by it, but I've only seen one piece and it didn't wow me. But it can be autoclaved, and the makers of it say that it's ok for new piercings. I would go with your piercer's recommendation, and stick to glass, titanium, steel, or ptfe until bioplast has been around a little longer and been shown to be reliably safe in new piercings.

I'm planning on getting my outter conch pierced at 00ga. I asked my piercing artist about it and he said he could pierce it at a 4ga and taper it up to a 00ga is it ok to stretch that much immediatly? No way, that sounds needlessly dangerous. A pierce and taper is usually done one size larger, maybe two on fleshy parts. It's not common on cartilage, and it certainly shouldn't be done three sizes larger, almost 5mm! That's almost doubling the piercing size. Find a better piercer, someone who's knows how to do a dermal punch. A conch piercing in that size would...

If someone just drops their animal off at the vet, what would the vet do with it? Depends on the vet.

My belly button peircing is nearly 5 months old. Ive stopped getting crust and puss, does that mean its fully healed? can i go to the beach now? If there's been no crust for a month, and it's not tender at all, then you will probably be ok. But I would wash it after getting out of the water, and do a sea salt soak to be sure. You'll want to take care to keep sand away from it as much as possible.

Im about to get my belly pierced in a week, and i was wondering..."what is a better size,a 14g or 16g and which one is bigger??? and which way is less painfull,top of the navel or bottom???you also don't have to be 18 but you need parental consent right?" 14g is a better size, since it's less likely to reject, it's the larger one. You can get pierced at any size you want, but I wouldn't ask for less than 16g. Most jewelry for navels will be 14g, so any larger or smaller and you'll have less choices. It depends on your location, in general in the US you need parental permission under 18, and you may need to be a certain...

Why is it important to the Church whether or not Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene or not? I think they'd feel foolish talking about their savior's girlfriend.

Don't bother with neosporin, it's greasy and will just trap dirt and germs near the piercing, which no one wants. If it's just irritated, do sea salt soaks. If you want to retire the piercing and it's obviously infected, go to your doctor before removing it.

Is it alright to use contact lens saline solution as a substitute for sea salt? Offically, no, since it's meant for a different purpose. Off the books, I've used it when there was no sea salt around.

But of course, just because I was fine doesn't mean I know what I'm talking about.

I wouldn't say it was purposeless because of that fact, but I would say that given enough time, and if we manage not to kill ourselves off too soon, then we'll be doomed if we don't find some other mud ball to live on. That sun isn't going to burn forever.

How do i apply for a tattoo license in england? i come from doncaster, south yorkshire and need to know how to do this. Maybe contact your local health department or bureau or whatever (I'm an ignorant american.) Or call a tattoo shop and ask. I think that's awesome that tattoo artists actually have to have a personal license in England.

Can you tell you smoke weed in a blood test? They could, if they cared to. But I'm sure they're far more concerened with making sure your blood is disease-free. But as others said, you should abstain for awhile before giving blood, out of consideration for the person your blood might go into.

I have this rinky ass tattoo on my foot, well it takes up my whole foot i was wondering is it hard to do like cover ups? its suppose to be henna inspired and it just looks like dirt so i want to cover it up with a whole bunch of flowers If it's all one color that's probably good, it may be easier to coverup than something already colorful. Find an artist that's experienced with coverups and has pictures proving how good they are.

I want to get my cartilage pierced but am worried about keloids... ive heard that if you are prone to keloids it affects your body so to speak and not your head? does anyone know if this is true? Keloids are serious business, and I wouldn't recommend piercings for a person that knows that are prone to them. But so many people call any bump a keloid, when in many cases they are something else. Boils and bumps of pus aren't keloids, and neither are round scars that surround a piercing but never get larger. Neither one is, in my opinion, as serious as keloid scarring. Keloids...

Answer to:
Is it better to get your tragus pierced with a barbell or a ring? (In terms of healing, irritation etc.) I got my cartilidge pierced a couple years ago and had massive problems with it and I think it was because of the ring... A hole with straight jewelry will heal faster than a hole with jewelry that's curved, since it puts a bit of pressure on the sides. Plus rings may get caught more often on things. Some people say that rings are better for drainage, but barbells should have a little extra length to accomodate swelling, and with proper aftercare it shouldn't be a problem.

Answer to:
What causes streched ears smell? Not infection, almost all piercings have this, but you only notice it usually in larger piercings or nostrils. It's oil, sweat, dead skin, all that goo from your body that builds up like in your belly button. Wash your ears and wear organic materials more often to reduce it.

Answer to:
Wah do they mean when they say your belly ring will take 6 months-1 year to heal ? and rejection? Piercings usually can be considered healed when there's no pain or crust for at least a month. Navels are basically surface piercings, so take a long time to heal. If you don't take care of it properly for an entire year or aren't very healthy, it can take much longer. Rejection happens when it's easier for the body to kill the skin over the piercing and push it out...

Answer to:
With tha belly ring, will the hole rip and leave 2 flappy sides on each side eventually. or does it depend on how well you look after it? Only if it gets torn out, which if there's a chance of that happening, I wouldn't get it pierced in the first place. If it's pierced too shallow it may reject, which means the skin on top dies and scabs until the jewelry is pushed out.

I placed a mirror in the back room and forgot about it. Walked it and scared myself with my reflection. Has this ever happened to you? Yes, with mirrors, but also with this life-sized cardboard Han Solo cut-out I had. It didn't help that my parents would steal it and hide it around the house. It's terrifying to walk into the bathroom and then scream because Han Solo is hiding behind the door.

Does porn precipitate sexual misconduct, pedophilia, or rape in SOME people? (I'm not saying all people.) I doubt it. Take away all the porn and we'll still have sexual deviancy. In fact I would say there's probably a handful of people that are able to repress acting out those desires on other people because of porn.

If you got raped as a virgin are you still a virgin because I just found out my best freind got raped two times and by her freind at 4 and 10!So is she still a virgin? Technically, no. And it shouldn't matter one bit. Virginity should not be seen as a measure of your worth, values, or sexual innocence. In a non-medical setting, viginity doesn't need to be strictly defined, because viginity and sexual inactivity aren't the same thing. Following the technical definition of virginity means that your friend is not a virgin, while the promiscuous...

I heard for a female to get a tatto in certain areas will strech during pregnacy and look deforemed after the baby is delivered. is this true? What areas are affected the most? The most affected would be across the stomach or breasts, where a tattoo would most likely be visibly distorted, and may lose definition after delivery or nursing. In areas like your butt or hips, where you may gain some weight, tattoos may distort somewhat, but probably not more than someone that had just gained a few pounds. Your body size needs to change a large amount to affect a tattoo,...

What do you think is the most masculine, unfeminine piercing a girl can get done? A bridge, or anything done in excess. And I kinda agree with Morg that septums aren't very feminine.

Would a crucifix work on a Jewish or Muslim Vampire? The first book about vampires I read was Salem's Lot, so I've always thought of it as being the faith behind the symbol that repels the vampire. If you believe in the symbol as the power, then the vampires can just kill you, because it's only a symbol. If you are strong of spirit, you don't need the symbol at all.

I got a eyebrow piercing of a 14 guage barbell.. i have a 16 guage barbell in now.. is it possible for me to go back to the 14 guage without tearing my skin.. how long does it take for the skin to close up? Possible, but it would be safest to buy a long metal 14g taper instead of just pushing the jewlery in. Even better to use a threaded taper that you can screw the jewelry onto. If your jewelry has external threads, as in the threads will be moving against your skin, at least get a taper with a concave back. How long have you been at 16g?

When you take a lip piercing out, does it ever heal completely? or will there always be a hole/mark there? what can you do to help it heal? Most likely it will shrink and mostly or totally fill in. Usually there will be a small dimple, but it depends on the individual's skin. Oil massages right away help moisturize the skin and break down scar tissue, which can make them less noticable.
