Well, you need to know that you can’t sleep on your right side for a couple of months. Oh, and a trick; Put a clean t-shirt on your pillow. Turn it every night. This way; Clean pillow surface for four days, only need to clean once. (yes you need to sleep on a clean surface) Be careful about hair products, perfume, headphones etc. Keep anything that comes near your ear(like your phone) clean.
I find sterile saline solutions to be the best thing to clean your piercing with, or iodine-free salt water. Soak your piercing in it 🙂 Once or twice a day. Might be hard to do this with an ear piercing, so you can also use some clean gauze or something that you soak in the solution, and than keep it over your piercing for five minutes or so.
DON’T PICK ON IT!
Very important. You will probably get some crust etc on it, remove this using gauze with solution in it, or shower. You can use a little bit of un-scented, perfume free soap for this. Just make sure you rinse it properly.
Don’t twist it. Some piercers tell you to, it’s bull. Why would you wanna irritate and move around a foreign object just put into an open wound in your body?? It won’t get stuck. It might feel tight while healing, but don’t worry. Unless ofc your piercer uses terrible quality jewelry. Then you should go to a proper piercer and get that sorted out.
Don’t be an idiot and go stay in a pool for two hours, let your friends touch it, keep twisting it or touch it with dirty hands. You should be fine 🙂

I’m a guy, so would it be girly for me?
I’d be more concerned with the eye-liner in that respect than an earring 🙂
lol 😛
It’s Almay eyeliner, and i highly recommend it. Last about 16 hours, you can get it at Walgreens or at the drug store 😀
Tried to be normal growing up
Teenage years went to the darkside (alternative, goth) 😀
Love the taste of music, dark art, and clothing
Finish high school
i though it was time to be normal
Wore normal clothing, no makeup, chains
Couple months later i was having urges to join the darkside again
Wasn’t happy about it
Did not feel like myself
1 year later, i relapse, and never went back since 🙂

The world is a very diverse place. You have to do what you you have to do.
I am left handed. I started school in 1962. The school tried to convert me to become right handed. I became ambidextrous as far as printing and writing. My year in first grade was hell.
I think society is finally waking up. Fifty fucking years later!
Live your life to the fullest! It goes by way faster than you can imagine.

Yep. Now they make left-handed notebooks and math books and whatnot. I guess you write upside-down with your left, like any kids of that era that got hurt real bad on the book bindings/springs and learned to write from above.

No, but I have the paper on it’s side.

Fucking hell what is this world coming to.
What he’s saying in an indelicate, boorish way is this: It shouldn’t matter if someone else thinks it looks girly. You’re living your life in such a way it doesn’t matter what a bunch of sexist old farts think.
Pierce and paint whatever you want. It comes out. You have to live with your character forever. It’s a lot easier to take out a stud or wash off some liner than it is to take back an intentionally or unintentionally hurtful comment.

I can’t believe some of the terrible things I’ve said to people over the years. Not intentionally, but hurtful just the same.
Take back the comments? I’d love to.
(I guess I should add a photo here to keep people interested in the forum.)
