Anonymous asked: Hi I'm an A cup. I've been planning on getting my nipples pierced. Do they scar often, grow over? Help please!
Healing a nipple piercing has a lot to do with the size of the nipple rather than the size of the breast, although larger breasts can hinder the healing process somewhat.
As long as you have it pierced correctly, by a well-reputed body piercer, and then follow your aftercare procedure flawlessly- you shouldn’t encounter (m)any problems at all :)

c-y-s-t-i-t-i-s asked: i almost aaalways end up with keyloids. is there any way i can prevent them from happening? my body piercer in the town i live in just tells me to pad boiling water on them every night, but this has never worked and i end up having to go to the doctors for antibiotics. i'm planning on coming to you for a dermal punched labret in the near future but i'm real scared my lip'll fuck up aswell. i wanna go big.. am i doomed?
Hmmmmm… Keloids ey. Antibiotics wouldn’t heal a keloid. You most likely have issues with hypertrophic scarring which is a fairly common complaint when it comes to piercings. They can be treated with a steroid cream but warm salt-water compresses and perseverance are the least drastic way to get rid of those pesky lumps and bumps.
There’s every chance that you could develop one on a dermal punched labret but as long as you keep it nice & clean, your chances for doom will be minimal :)

ratqueen asked: I'm thinking of getting my conch punched, but I'm not sure if it would be better to just get it pierced and then size it up... I only want to go to about a 0g with it. What do you think I should do?
Ultimately, it’s up to you.
Personally, I’d sooner get mine punched out than stretch them up.
Stretching cartilage is generally a long and uncomfortable journey and I’m a lazy wuss :3
Which ever route you choose, I wish you all of the luck.

Behold part of my lip that was dermal punched out!
*Edited to let you all know that Stabbyluke actually ate that part of my lip!
It’s true. I did.

So, this lady wanted a ‘surgical’ looking scar.
Her idea was to add a zipper tattoo to the end of the scar.
I’m unsure how this one will turn out, but I’m keen to find out if it looks like an appendectomy scar when healed.
