I know I should have asked all these questions when I was at the piercing place, but I was too distracted with excitement.
So, my question is:
I’ve had my longer bar in for only 3 days now. I felt the flat back of the bar with my tongue and it seemed as if one side was going into my lip. It’doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t feel tight, and the ball is still fully visible. I was wondering if this is normal?
I’ve been doing sea salt soaks 2 times a day & cleaning the outside with satin soap, using the given mouthwash after every major meal, and brushing my teeth.

I can’t take my piercing off. I’ve tried & my fingers slip on the ball & I try grabbing the bar to hold it still but I just can’t take it off.
Then after a while it starts to hurt. So I just quit.
I know that they say: “Lefty Loosy Righty Tighty” but is it MY left, or the piercers left? I tried both ways but it just doesn’t loosin up.
I don’t have anything but my fingers to hold the bar. So any tips.
I know it seems like a dumb question, but I just really want to switch my top part.
HELP?

Alright, I have been doing my homework and know that a piercing gun is much more likely to lead to an infection than a hollow needle. My question lies within the type of earrings to pick out. I am severely allergic to nickel – it makes my ears swell and begin to produce puss within an hour!! The “stud” type earrings actually grew into one of my piercings, so which type of earring post should I use?
