If, by chance, the tea tree oil doesn't help, I suggest crushing an aspirin and adding a drop or two of water to make a paste. Keep the paste on for about 15 minutes. Do this daily for around two...

There are two easy remedies.
Crush an aspirin in powder and add a drop or two of water to make a paste. Put this onto the bump and leave on for 15 minutes. Do this for a few weeks.

Plastic is porous and can cause a nasty infection. Take that out and put the steel back in. is the steel surgical grade or just stainless? As far as the keloid, crush an aspirin and mix with a couple...

Any tattoo parlor that offers piercings will have jewelry. Different stipulations apply at different shops. The shop I work at supplies the jewelry with the piercing. You definitely want to make sure...

It may just be what we call a piercing pimple. You can get rid of this by crushing an aspirin and mix in a drop or two of water to make a paste. Put the paste on the "bubble" for about 15 minutes. Do...

A corset piercing should be able to be done at any reputable tattoo shop that offers body piercing. Different laws apply to different geographical locations. Here in Illinois, you must be 16 with a...

Just warm water and a qtip will remove the crusties. Picking them off will only slow the healing time. Use sea salt rinses and do not touch or turn the piercing unless you are cleaning it. Healing...

What type of jewelry do you have? Is it a banana bar or captive ring? You really want the jewelry to be tight so you don't lose it. If you want to change it often, you can get a pair of hemostats or...

Do not use vaseline. It is normal, especially on foot tattoos, for some of the ink to come off. Feet most often need a touch-up. Just use fragrance free lotion on it. It will take at least 10 - 14...

What kind of metal is the jewelry? Did the piercer recommend using a sea salt solution?
The problem with navel piercings are that they are the piercing that takes the longest to heal and is more...

No self-respecting piercer will pierce with anything but a needle. Piercing guns jam a piece of jewelry through your skin. Piercing needles create a scalpel-sharp incision making the piercing...

vicodin will thin your blood. We won't touch anyone if they have taken any painkillers or alcohol. While some places do offer numbing, we do not. It isn't necessary. A piercing is so fast that by the...

I recommend the corkscrew. Make sure it is surgical grade steel.

Try finding a translator. We only tattoo it.

We can only tattoo it, we can't translate. Your best chance is to find a translator online or in person. Good luck!

My pleasure!

Yes. Any fragrance contains alcohol, which you do not want near a piercing. We recommend Dial brand or the generic is fine as long as there is no fragrance.

The reason it hurts so much is because it was done with a gun. Cartilage isn't designed to stretch and that is what a piercing gun does. Getting pierced with a needle removes the appropriate amount...

Cartilage areas are definitely more tender. I just beg you not to get it done with a gun. Piercing needles are the appropriate way to do ANY piercing. Piercing guns just jam jewelry and spread...

First, have your doctor check you out. You could use scar reduction cream for a while. I would really wait until it is totally healed (which pretty much depends on your body). Normal healing time...

No prob. My pleasure.

Until it goes away. 10 - 15 minutes. Each time.

Crusties are very normal. They are lymph secretions. Very normal. Just make sure you use sea salt and avoid peroxide and alcohol.

Oh yeah. Piercings can be painful, especially in cartilage areas. Surgical steel is what we use at our shop.

Clean the area with antibacterial hand soap and use a sea salt rinse. What kind of jewelry do you have? Most importantly, never touch your piercing unless you are cleaning it. Keep the ball...

You can try crushed aspirin mixed with a drop or 2 of water and apply to bump for 15 minutes. It is going to taste nasty, though.

If it is a recent piercing, it will fall off naturally. Otherwise, talk to your piercer. It is easier to diagnose in person.

Now when people talk about a pot addiction, they are (hopefully) referring to the psychological addiction because marijuana is not addictive. Whether it is bad, that's a personal choice. I,...

Never had either, but doing them, I would have to say navel. The tongue is easy and the navel is harder to push through. Tongues will heal within 3 months, while a navel can take up to a full year.

Unfortunately, the navel piercing is the hardest to heal. Healing time can last up to a full year.If a piercing gets infected and you want to keep the piercing, do not take the jewelry out. If you...

Try crushing up aspirin, add a drop or two of water, mix into a paste and leave on bump for 15 minutes. This is very, very common. Do not use alcohol on a piercing ever.

Crush the aspirin and add a couple drops of water until it makes a paste. Apply to the bump and leave on for 15 minutes. Next time this happens, don't remove the jewelry if you want to keep the...

Everyone takes a tattoo differently. For the most part, the back is not the most tender spot, unless you get one in the tramp stamp area. I tell my clients that it feels like a long cat scratch. ...

Grind up an aspirin and a tiny bit of water until it makes a paste and put it on your keloid for a few minutes. Do this for a while until the keloid is dissolved if it doesn't work I would consult...

Yes, do the aspirin. Sounds like a piercing pimple. It is very common. Never go to claire's they don't know what they are talking about.

Yep, could also be holidays (areas where the ink didn't take or wasn't applied properly). Throw the A&D away- it leeches color. Perfectly normal. I have to ask, do they guarantee their work and are...

That is most likely just scabbing. Just wash with antibacterial handsoap and put a thin layer of fragrance-free hand lotion on it. If anyone tells you to use A&D ointment, they are morons (it is made...

If you were fine during the cartilage, the nose will be fine. With any kind of puncture, there will be some discomfort.

14g is the normal size for a navel. The only downside to navel piercings are that they are the easiest to get infected and take the longest to heal, not to mention the chances of rejection...

If you aren't 100% sure you want a marriage, then you should not do it. Before you can make anyone else happy, you have to take care of number one.

why do people need justification in something like this. Religion = politics. Always has, always will. Politics is a system of beliefs and ideals- oh wait, that's what religion is. How much more...

Needles don't malfunction. The piercing will also be done by someone who knows what they're doing. At claires, you could be pierced by someone who just got hired off the street 5 minutes ago.

You want to go to a translator. We don't know sanskrit. We know tattoos. Good luck and hope it turns out great for you.

Is it a flared tunnel? Give yourself a few days until the tightness wears off and either use ky jelly, vaseline, or change it in the shower. Your body will let you know if you're pushing yourself...
