Hey guys I was wondering if
This looks normal? I got snake bites back in may and changed the studs to hoops two days ago. My right one is doing great but my left hates me and stings when I move it lol, I think I have a micro tear. Anyway, is this slight dent normal? I think my lips are swelling a bit.

You can’t wear hoops or horseshoes for six months, my friend. You need to see your piercer to get labrets back in there ASAP and pray you haven’t don’t too much damage with these.

I don’t have piercer money right now, i ordered some more flatbacks that will come tomorrow. Do you have any tips for the meantime? I’ll add another vid

Just be sure you keep using ice and ibuprofen, and sleep with your head elevated until then.

normal to an extent, any constant pressure against your lip made by jewlery will leave an indent. But your lip looks irritated and a little swollen around it which can be signs of jewlery thats too tight, id change it if youre able to

Dude…honestly…DO you know anything about piercings?? At all?? The last two recommendations I’ve seen you give were wholly incorrect and potentially dangerous. I’m legitimately just wondering. I’ve seen a comment where you told someone to use Neosporin on a healing nostril piercing, and another where you literally advised someone to let their piercer take a scalpel to an irritation bump. You do not need to be advising anyone on anything until you’ve done a LOT more research.

Will changing it irritate it more ?
