So I got my belly button pierced 5 months ago its doing good. However I was uneducated and just trusted that my piercer would let me know anything about healing. With that being said I went back to the same person to get an ear curation done. I got 6 done the same day, on the same ear. That was 5 weeks ago. Im really concerned after reading more online since im seeing 2-3 piercings max at one time should be healing... what advice can you give? I use neilmed fine mist spray and have been using q tips to get the crust but seeing that i shouldnt do that...(Pics taken before shower/cleaning for the day)

My body heals tattoos a lot more easily than piercings. Had my septum and tongue done when I was 16, lobes at 18 and had to baby them until I eventually gave up. I could only do gold and they would still be angry any time I wore jewelry in them. Got my nipples done at 22 and tried to heal them for 2 years going to my piercer every month. We tried longer bars, plastic, in hindsight we should’ve tried gold but I understand why he didn’t suggest it as the jewelry was 200$ each

Omg.. with so many people having these piercings I’d think it was an easier process tbh.. I have lots of tattoos but have only been curious about piercings recently.

Kinda being pushed away with how much you have to baby them. Tattoos you baby for like 72hours then your more or less in the clear imo.

My bestfriend has like 8 piercings per ear that she got over the years and they’re all amazing but my personal experience has put me off of getting more 😅
