We used these plastic knitting neddles.
The medusa should be renamed the Fellatio Ender.
Not only that but they scar really bad, even if you are not prone to scaring they will scar.
Not so common anymore.
I remember when we were in our early 20s my friend had snake bites. I thought they were so damn neat until she told me that after doing this particular deed, her boyfriend’s spunk would leak out the holes and it still, to this day, makes me squirm a little

I think I got mine done in 2014? I was definitely tardy to the party, I could count on one hand the number of people I've seen with this same piercing in the last decade
This has never happened to me despite having multiple lip piercings, and I literally hope it never does.I remember when we were in our early 20s my friend had snake bites.

Going to call bullshit on that. A daith or other hole in your ear will do less for your headaches than sticking to a better diet, getting some exercise, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, not overdoing it on the coffee, and managing your stress effectively. Plus a daith can get in the way of anything you need to stick in your ear. If you feel you need an alt med way to deal, maybe try herbal teas (hydration), meditation (relaxation) and gossiping about lolcows (stress relief).
They are not keloids, they are piercing bumps. Keloids are a type of fucked up scar tissue, which most people are not prone to. Piercing bumps are a reaction to irritation, which can happen to anyone. That being said, piercing bumps do not care if your piercing was done professionally. They will happen if you do not know how to treat your piercing well or if you just got unlucky and snagged it. Snagging industrials is a common experience, but more commonly, people just don't research how to take care of them and don't follow up with their piercer for downsizing.
My industrial was considerably less fussy than my helixes. Helixes, if you get them done all at once, they will make for one really big irritated site, which will require longer piercing posts to begin with, which will imply a lot of downsizing. The biggest issue with industrials, given that you have looked into piercing care, is how unwieldy they are - they need really good placement in order to not press on your ear tissue; that's why they need a REALLY good piercer.
Pain is relative. Cartilage piercings are only like a 6/10 on the pain scale for me, while lip/nose piercings are the most painful. You basically won't know until you try.
Thank you for clearing it up for me industrials are a high maintenance piercings I’ve heard. I think they’re pretty but I don’t know if I could keep up with after care. What would you rate the pain of the industrial ? I’m assuming the vertical helix might feel the same but I’m not sure.
They are basically just a forward helix + a helix, so the initial pain would be the same as any other helix. To me, getting pierced hurt less (like a 6/10?) than the first week or so of healing (7/10?). I remember my industrial made my ear feel like it was constantly being pinched for a few days. I am personally used to that sort of discomfort due to having had quite a few piercings atp, but I could imagine someone else finding it to be really distracting. If you have generally low pain tolerance and really want an industrial, I would imagine that it would help to make sure that you have nothing really important to do during the initial healing process.
More or less why I never got all the piercings I wanted. It was such a mess to heal. Maybe things would be easier now with newer kinds of jewellery that are less likely to get snagged or pulled, but it just took so, so, so long to heal that it'll probably never happen at this point.
