I went to a shop and got one of my ears pierced manually
and the other with the scisor like forcepts what ever you want to call them.

THe one that was done manually i feel its at a minor angle.
the other one was more straight through.

should i get the one that was done a little slanted pierced again? with the forcept thing ..

now ... what i wanted to do was just stretch them to a 6g put some plugs ...

if i just keep them the way it is do you think it wont matter since im stretching them?

I dont know ... im going crazy here need an opinion...


the other thing is that i just got my ears dont 2 days ago... if i repierce that one ear ... will there be a healing problem ... or even possible infection?


picture of right ear that was pierced a little \

are you planning on stretching the holes yourself or having a piercer do it?  if you go to a professional, he/she may be able to work with the holes as they already are (i know my piercer has evened out asymmetrical piercings through stretching, such as when one ear piercing is higher/lower than another...)  i really don't have much personal experience with stretching, i wish i could offer more.  my advice is of course to go and talk with a professional!  oh, and if you do decide to repierce your ear, your going to have to let it fully heal first!

Im going to see a pro later this week.
Thanks for the advice ...

the pro told me that if im going to stretch it out it might not matter =P so hopefully i wont need to get it repierced.

If you plan on gauging then I see no reason in redoing the one.  Both of mine were a little messed up, and now that they are gauged to a 4 you can't even notice it.

is it pus (dark green, red-brown) or is it lymph (clear,light yellow)?

lymph is normal....pus most definitely is not...if it is pus then it is infected and may require a medical consultation

I don't know if I am missing something here or not, but did you stretch them before they were even healed? On average the lobe takes about 4 weeks to heal, and I reccomend to al my clients they wait 6-8 weeks before stretching. 4 weeks to heal and an additional 2-4 weeks to let that tissue settle and stretch a little naturally. As far as the discharge is concerned, Adam pretty much cleared that up. Good luck on those piercings. - XXX- Jeremy
