@galemerte17 4 года назад

a double helix (with a gun bc i didnt know much about piercing back then 💀) healed for about a year or so bc i kept messing with it. and a flat and upper lobe, got it just about 3 weeks ago! (with needle this time) it got irritated sometimes bc its still healing but the process is much better than the double helix (ofc).

Maeve Flaherty Exactly. The title suggests that the piercing heals immediately/doesn’t need to heal. Which is incorrect because any hole in your ear needs to heal.

Maeve Flaherty every. Single. Piercer. Says to do aftercare. Every single one. Including this guy. They disagree on what products and how often to clean, but not a single one will tell you “No aftercare whatsoever because the body heals itself...” No. That is not how you care for a puncture wound, which is what a piercing is.

With a clickbaity title like THAT I really wasn’t expecting this video to be good. Pleasantly surprised. This guy really knows what he’s on about! So happy he brought up the diff between hypertrophic scars and keloids. Gotta disagree about the “almost zero aftercare” thing tho 😂

@kateb7840 4 года назад

Dani Stratosphere I actually agree with the almost zero aftercare. I religiously cleaned my Daith twice a day like my piercer told me and it had bumps and wouldn’t heal. I finally switched from twice a day with wound wash to once a day with Dr. Bronner’s in the shower, and was stricter about touching it, and it healed. Less is more in piercing aftercare.

@LuckyyRat952 4 года назад

Kat EB it depends on how long you use the wound wash for as well, if you soak for 10 minutes twice a day can be too much but if you soak it for 5 each time it’ll heal just fine

Maybe you should take it out then. Let it heal and later find someone that that does the piercing the way this guy did.

@shaelynmetuariki3922 4 года назад

Probably because you body either didn’t like the reaction to it and it’s rejecting it which you should have taken it out many years ago so it didn’t cause a infections. Or it could be the piercer as well.

@Ingrid922 2 года назад

@@eymaeunhae4398 Povidone-iodine i what I put on my piercings. Use cotton ball or similar, get wet and put it on the piercing, then just let it dry with it on it. It is brownish. Mine all healed fairly quickly. Clean at least twice a day, or more if needed. This was suggested to me by the piercer/tattoo artist at the shop I went to in Dallas, Texas when I got my belly button pierced when I was 21, in the early 1990's. Still have the piercing, and still use povidone-iodine for occaisional wound care for myself and kids. Two of my kids have used it on their ears piercings too. Brand name is Betadine, but just povidone-iodine is the same, and cheaper. Target had the cheapest price I have found. Good luck!

@mika_kalea9463 11 месяцев назад

@@catlover4319 That does not sound normal. Which type of metal did you use for your piercings? To me it sounds like you might have had a slight allergic reaction, which prevents your wounds from healing, because they keep getting irritated. One of my friends had this problem. As soon as they switched to real gold, they were fine. It could also just be that you played around with your piercings too much, reopening the wounds in the process over and over.

I have 9 total piercings and by far the forward helix has been the most painful. I had all 3 done at the same time but I almost tapped out after the 1st one. They most definitely required alot of after care!

I had this piercing done and it wasn't healing correctly for about a month and a half (my other piercings were a breeze to heal) so I went to my piercer and told him about the situation so he looked at it and said the jewelry (it was a ring) might have been too thin so the wound didn't have enough surface to like.. grab onto and heal over. So he changed it for a ring that was a tiny bit thicker (still really tiny because my ear is so ridiculously small) and in three days my ear was completely healed and I LOVE IT SOOO MUCH. I'm thinking maybe some of you here in the comments had the same issue but gave up instead of going to your guy to check on it..? Idk, just guessing

@LoveBaseballLove 4 года назад

I have this piercing. I felt absolutely nothing when I got it done and it was only a little sore during the healing. Easiest one I've ever gotten that's for sure!

@festivebiatch Год назад

I’m so glad he does it with the forceps. An old school way and I feel much better.

@sublimesoja 4 года назад

Titles like this are why people impulsively get piercings and have piercing complications and can’t heal them/grow piercing bumps etc etc. Every piercing requires more than “almost zero aftercare” and everyone’s body heals differently! While she may feel HER piercing requires little to no aftercare, it’s not okay to give the piercing in general that label!

@annadamore7648 4 года назад

i just got a daith piercing a couple months ago and i’m not sure if i got lucky but even the piercer told me the aftercare was minimal. she said keep it clean and dry, and don’t touch it. i luckily got no irritation, no bumps, no rejection, no infection, and no scarring from what i can tell. quality jewelry and quality piercer 👍

@ayellison 4 года назад

I got a triple forward helix pierced in one sitting and a regular triple helix another time. All of them healed perfectly fine in less than a year! To be honest, I wasn’t the best with aftercare, but it’s perfect now! I always use H2Ocean with all my piercings and I think it really helps with my healing.

@riof.7947 3 года назад

@codename495 4 года назад

I roughy up the posts of my earrings with a nail buffer, wash them throughly with alcohol and when they are dry I paint the posts with a clear nail enamel. I like the gel kind you can UV cure so it doesn’t have to be redone so often. Tried it the first time at 10 because I was sick of plastic earrings and I’ve been doing it for 25 years and haven’t had a problem.

@EmorettaRobinson 4 года назад

I like the guy that did the piercings. He is very knowledgeable and explained that whole process so well. I got a cartilage piercing with a piercing gun years ago. I cleaned it with alcohol daily and twisted the piercing after cleaning it. As I was told to do. And left it in for a month. Also like I was told to do. When I took it out the piercing closed. I tried for over 15 minutes and couldn't get it back in. I'd go to Brian to get my cartilage pierced again. His process sounds like it would work better for me.

As a piercer but also someone with MANY piercings I saw the title and wanted to watch just to see how bad it was but there were some really good points brought up. Cleaning your piercing is important but making sure you are cleaning it with the right stuff is also important. The only thing i would add is that not every piercer pierces the same way. They may not use those exact tools or that exact jewelry. Always do your research but also ask questions and make sure EVERYTHING is sterile and opened in front of you.
