    bah, my poor nipple is still all swollen and quite sore still :(
    i've been cleaning it and all that jazz like a good girl, but i'm wondering why it's still so swollen? /: and i think the bar may be too small. :(
    anything else i can do?
    bigger bra or no bra, baggy tops are better than tight ones, how often are you cleaning it?

    twice a day and soaking it once a day? too much?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,477 ✭✭✭✭Raze_them_all


    hmmm it depends on how sensitive you are(sounds pervy)
    But when i had mine I only cleaned them once a day.
    Just wear baggy tops for a while instead of tight ones if you can

    You can ask me a question if you want, I have both of mine done :)

    If it's giving you hassle the first thing I would suggest is to upsize the jewellery until it calms down a bit, that'll help no end.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,095 ✭✭✭Fantasy_Suicide


    Well, I dont know about you, but I'd go and have a good think about it. What's the point in getting something someone else suggested?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Gauge


    Look at Irish history books, quote books, websites. Find something you like, you're the one who is going to have it printed on your ribs for the rest of your life!

    tbh like gauge said look up quote books etc etc. all this research can be done on the net also, when you find something you like DONT rush into it, you could change your mind just as quick


    This is a good link also for anyone looking for differnet writing fonts for tattos also

    Go to a studio and ask for a quote from them, they will be tattooing you not us :)
    Bit pointless getting a quote from us

    Best person to talk to is obviously whichever artist you choose to go to, however in the interest of you not getting ripped off by an unscrupulous type, I would estimate €100-150 for a piece similar in style and size.

    I have a bruise around one of my piercings for a while now. Is it going to go away? Doesn't look very nice...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,557 ✭✭✭LD 50


    It should go away after a few days of getting it pierced. So unless you've had it pierced for months, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

    Has it been bumped recently? that could explain why its been bruised if you've had it for a while.

    It depends on the reason for the bruise, which we obviously can't tell.
    As LD-50 said, if it's a fresh piercing, it wouldn't be something I'd worry about.
    If you've bumped it, again, I wouldn't worry too much.

    How long have you had the piercing, how long has the bruise been there and do you remember bumping it at all?

    had it since last june.... it's an earlobe one, so it does get bumped and tugged from time to time, can't seem to help that.
    I have 4 of them that were done at the same time, but only one has a bruise. I don't think it gets bumped any more than other ones..

    as for how long the bruise is there I would guess somewhere between 2-3 months


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,120 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    I'd say that at this stage you should possiibly call into your piercer and see what they say.

    Is there anything else different with this one? Jewellery different or anything like that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,702 ✭✭✭bounty_hunter

    No, everything the same. I haven't changed jewellery at all.

    I was back to piercer's before and was told to clean it and wait and see..I suppose I'm just sick of waiting and seeing, you know :(

    Thanks a lot for your answers.
    I also have another question:

    I might be going for a long camping trip in summer, will piercings survive not being cleaned for a while (given that they are not fresh anyway)?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,120 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    What way are you cleaning the piercings?

    The piercings may be alright, but I don't see any reason that you wouldn't be able to clean them while off camping, all you need are some warm recently boiled water, and proper sea salt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 122 ✭✭Tarzan_man


    I've been designing a tattoo I want to get now for some time but I've never considered the possibilty that details on it have gotten too small. I'm designing it in photoshop and maybe someone could give me a good DPI or resolution to design at so that certain parts of the tattoo aren't too small and blur and fade with time etc.

    Either that or how small you can have the font and I'll work it out or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,120 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    There is no DPI or resolution you can work at which will transfer over to someone working on your skin with a machine.

    Only thing you could do is bring the design to a tattoo artist and they will be able to tell you what will work, what will not and what will have to be changed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 78 ✭✭corpseorourke


    Hey everyone! just a quick question, we were away and my girlfriend got her toungue pierced but it doesnt loot quite right... and sort of side ways..
    just wondering if anyone could help me and tell me where it acutally goes coz she's gettin very paranoid and wont go into a professional as she feels they will tell her she should'nt have gotten it done abroad.
    so if anyone can help that would be very much appriciated!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 492 ✭✭QOTSA90


    Was the person you went to reputable in any way? Is her tongue still swollen? How did the piercer pierce the tongue? Did they use a clamp?

    I know, no answers. But you werent very specific to begin with.

    edit: Really if she is worried about it, then you should go to a piercer. They will probably tell you you shouldnt have done it abroad, but that doesnt mean they wont help her :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,625 ✭✭✭Sofaspud


    Tongue piercings aren't always able to be pierced completely centrally, due to veins and the frenum, so it's perfectly normal for the piercing to be at a slight angle.

    If she got it done recently, it's probably just more noticeable now because of the extra length of the bar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 196 ✭✭JohnnyQuid


    Just wondering what's the average price for a nipple and lip piercing?Just want to know to make sure,so I don't get them done by a bad studio.And how long would they take to heal?

    Not so sure about Prices of either piercing, but I know that nipple piercings can take a massive amount of time to heal, from 6 months to a year. The important things to remember about either piercing are
    1) make sure they are done with a straight barbell to promote faster and healthier healing.
    2) the barbell is long enough to accomadate swelling.
    3) You do not play with the piercing while its healing and finally
    4) for Christ sake, dont go to Claires.. go to a reputable piercing/tattoo studio in your area.

    35-45 for each

    As it says above, I need all the info; where is a good place (I live in North Dublin), whats it like to get done, is it unpleasant (does the piercer have to hold your tongue???!!), any problems afterwards (swelling, teeth issues etc) and after care. Oh and cost I suppose.

    I have my belly buttom pierced and I read horror stories the day after about infections etc and if I had read those before getting it done, I wouldn't have ! I've never had any probs with it so I'm hoping it would be the same with a tongue piercing.

    Thanks v much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,557 ✭✭✭LD 50


    Are you asking for info and or horror stories to be well informed, or to get scared off of getting it done?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 492 ✭✭QOTSA90


    Its a 16g needle passing through a part of your body, its going to hurt and yes its going to swell. The piercer will give you a longer barbell at first to accomadate the swelling, and they should give you a shorter one when you are done healing free of charge.

    If you use mouthwash, you should give it a rest while healing, or at the very least make sure its alcohol-free. Any other info you need, your piercer will give you.

    And all the shops in North County Dublin are fairly good, where abouts are you? Anywhere near town? Id suggest Connected Ink in Temple Bar, or either of the 2 Wildcat Stuidos. Further North, Stigmata-Tau in Swords.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,120 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    where is a good place Snakebite in Middle Abbey Street (3rd floor, door beside Twisted Pepper)
    whats it like to get done It's like having a needle put through your tongue...
    is it unpleasant (does the piercer have to hold your tongue???!!) As pleasant as getting a needle through part of your body tends to be! Comfort/pain varies from person to person. And yes of course they have to hold your tongue, but they will use a little clamp style thing to do so.
    any problems afterwards (swelling, teeth issues etc) It'll swell of course. Don't 'play' with the piercing (Clicking it off your teeth etc) and you won't have too many problems with your teeth.
    after care The piercer will explain this to you in great detail.

    Someone might be more sure about this than I am... I got a new tattoo about 10 days ago (love it :)), but I'm in quite a lot of pain after spending an entire day turning turf on the bog :p yep, true culchie. Question is though, is it a major don't to jump into a sauna to ease my aching muscles? It's a private dry sauna so I doubt there are many lingering germs, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not seeing as my tat's still shiny and new?:confused: help appreciated!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,320 ✭✭✭Teferi


    I got an industrial piercing when I was in the States about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks ago. The place I went to was generally considered to be one of the top places in the city to go to. The piercer was very professional and I felt she done a good job. Now the lower part of the piercing seems to have a bit of a lump of cartilage around it and I'm wondering if that's normal? Would it be okay to walk into Snakebite (for example) and ask them for advice on the piercing since I obviously can't go back to the place that pierced me...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 492 ✭✭QOTSA90
