I got two new piercings 🥰
Fun fact: I’ve had my angel bites for almost 9 years. I got them when I was 18 I’m now 26 soon to be 27 in September.
I’ve now added a septum and Labre!
I got the septum first! We agreed to start from top to bottom. Pain level honestly for me was a 4/5 but I have a higher pain tolerance. And I had no bleeding.
Next I got the labre done! The pain for this one was more of a 3/4 to me very little. You really only feel the pinch for a second. I had very little bleeding with this one!
I got them done April 1st! And the last picture is the most recent taken on April 18th!
They are still going great they don’t bother me and I got used to them pretty quickly as of today April 27! #piercings #septum piercing #Lemon8Diary
Getting piercings can be an exciting yet nerve-wracking experience. Understanding pain levels, healing times, and aftercare is crucial for anyone considering new piercings. The septum piercing, located in the cartilage of the nose, is often chosen for its versatility and bold statement. Pain levels can vary, with many describing it as a sharp pinch that fades quickly. The labret piercing, situated below the bottom lip, also offers a fun way to express individuality, typically causing minimal discomfort. Aftercare is essential to prevent infections and ensure a smooth healing process. Keeping the area clean and avoiding unnecessary touching is vital. Many experts recommend saline solution for cleaning, and it's advisable to avoid makeup and heavy facial products near healing piercings. With proper care, many find that their piercings can heal within 6-8 weeks, but some may take longer. It's important to monitor any signs of infection, such as excessive swelling or discoloration. Overall, the journey of getting new piercings can be a fulfilling experience, allowing for self-expression and a unique personal style. Always consult a professional piercer to discuss the best options and aftercare for your individual needs.
