Yesit's normal. If it wasn't, the retainer wouldn't have been made like that
Never worry, it's totally normal. Your ears are somewhat adapting to you piercing since the 'metal' or the earring is a foreign bypasser. If the swelling lasts more that a week, that's weird. (:
Yes. Glass is great for use as initial jewelry so try to find a glass retainer or see if your piercer has one. Just don't use clear acrylic because its too porous
A normal earring is 18 gauge. I'm not sure of the mm..
yes it will after a while i had the bottom side of my lip pierced and re pierced about four times now, at first it left a dark mark were the piercing used to be but now its just a small hole...barley noticeable.
I have exactly the same as that. I got my retainer a few weeks ago and the top one is fine but the bottom one leaves this line and sometimes a cut or ulcer. It also hurts a lot when I put it in. I guess this is normal!
Well, that depends what kind of ear piercing it was. If it was a normal ear piercing, on the lobe of the ear, then the original earring needs to stay in for 8 weeks and needs to be cleaned with a special solution, usually given by your piercer, a few times a day. However, if it was a cartilage piercing, the ones that are up higher on the ear where it curves, the earring needs to stay in for 16 weeks and cleaned regularly. If it becomes infected or you are unsure about what to do, contact the person or place who pierced your ear(s) and they will tell you what to do from there. Or, if you are more worried about it, you can contact a local clinic to ask about it. Hope this helped!
if it hurts it could be a slight infection or maybe its just a bit of a irritation from the tongue bar.
Only if you have a mild infection.
Most earlobe piercings are around 20 gauge to 18 gauge. The average stud earrings are size 20 gauge.
nope. YOU HAVE AN INFECTION...
No! Check with the piercer to see what gauge ur lip bar is .... mine is 16g
