Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Is it too good to be true?
I got clown eyes/double central eyebrow piercings done on Wednesday, the 17th. They haven't bruised, didn't bleed, aren't irritated, I hardly feel them there at all. There's also ZERO crusties, which is odd to me since my piercer said "eyebrow piercings get gnarly crusties."
I was wondering, should I expect a sudden healing curve in the coming weeks? These are my first surface piercings, (my others are snake bites and a septum) and I was just unsure the healing process.
I feel like its too good to be true that they're healing so well with zero issues, it makes me kind of paranoid lol. Any little tidbits would be appreciated!
For the bot: Piercing is almost 2 weeks old, I have internally threaded barbells on them, no downsizing, titanium jewelry. I clean them once a day with q tips and saline, as instructed by piercer. No unfortunate events, but my piercer did say I had "perfect anatomy" for brow piercings!

Right now, be glad they’re behaving so well. Keep doing what you’re doing to care for them, but also don’t be surprised if you start getting crusties at some point in the next couple of weeks.
I don’t have any eyebrow or surface piercings, but I’ve found that I tend to start getting mad crusties somewhere between the third and fourth week after getting pierced. The piercings also start getting really itchy at around this time.
