A year ago next month I got my tongue and Christina piercing done. I have a lot of very soft scar tissue around thebtop hole of my Christina. It was caused from infection and the bead of it kept sitting somewhat inside of my skin. I switched to a captive bead ring and it helped fix that problem. But now I want to get rid of this piercing and get a vertical hood for pleasure reasons. I would really like to get rid of this scar tissue before I go and get it done as he is a very judgmental about other piercers jobs and he is the best there is in my town. (I've actually done better research this time) I would really appreciate it if none of you judge me because this is a decision I have made and I accept. I just want to know how to fix it. Thank you :)
