I got an apadravya piercing months and months ago. It was pierced at 10g, and the bar was custom made. I told the piercer that i think its too tight but she kept saying its fine.. well now, it's not healing properly. I have a dent in my dick. here's a picture of the hole..  sometimes, the dent is deeper then other times (usually after sex, masturbating, etc.) but there is always a dent present. I don't know what to do... will this heal properly? I thought about switching the ball to a flat disc but I called all the local shops nearby and they don't sell flat discs. =[ most shops don't carry 10g jewelry at all here.. (which is why it's difficult getting a bigger barbell) I looked online on a lot of sites and cannot find a barbell that's around 1 1/4'' (30-32mm) that is sold with flat discs. In fact, finding flat discs that fit on 10g jewelry is very difficult.. (all i could find was anchor heads for dermals and they're only good for 14-12g jewelry.. ) |

well from my unprofessional opinion you need to a: get a longer bar/downsize with a longer bar. b: take it out and wait till you can find a longer bar and get it re-pierced. have you gone to talk to your piercer? but this is just a non pro talking. ------------- "I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of stars makes me dream..." - Vincent Van Gogh |

You should get a bar that's a little longer. After doing so, the sinking and the "extra" circle skin/scarring you're experiencing should clear up within a few days to a few weeks. :) Also, have you looked into dome shaped tops for your barbell? ------------- Miss Cale True Blue Tattoo ~ 303-989-6824 305 S Kipling St, Lakewood, CO 80226 http://www.facebook.com/piercingbymisscale - facebook. |

thank you for the replies =) I'm glad that this will go away after I switch the piercing would it be okay to use 316L ASTM F-138 Stainless Steel for the piercing for now? I haven't looked any shaped tops except the flat discs (that I couldn't find) |

I found some good quality 10g barbells here http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?keywords=&jewelry=barbell&gauge=10g&material=Steel&price=&brand=&Advanced=Search&ProductID=1812&index=13 - http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?keywords=&jewelry=barbell&gauge=10g&material=Steel&price=&brand=&Advanced=Search&ProductID=1812&index=13 If you wanted to wear half balls or flat discs, you can find ones that fit the barbell in the link here http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?Extras=Y&dwzPage=2&ProductID=4310&index=15 - http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?Extras=Y&dwzPage=2&ProductID=4310&index=15 and here http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?Extras=Y&dwzPage=2&ProductID=4314&index=12 - http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?Extras=Y&dwzPage=2&ProductID=4314&index=12 Unfortunately, jewelry of that size must be preordered, so it will take about a month to get to you. The only place I found it ready to ship is here http://painfulpleasures.com/xcart/customer/product.php?productid=305&cat=64&page=2 - http://painfulpleasures.com/xcart/customer/product.php?productid=305&cat=64&page=2 and if you want half balls for it you can get these http://painfulpleasures.com/xcart/customer/product.php?productid=3982&cat=118&page=1 - http://painfulpleasures.com/xcart/customer/product.php?productid=3982&cat=118&page=1 Since painfulpleasures.com sells low quality jewelry, I would recommend getting a barbell there for a temporary quick fix to relieve the pressure, but still buying the barbell from bodyartforms.com, and switching out when the good quality jewelry arrives. |

+1x3 Domes/UFO discs would reduce the intensity of the dimpling effect, and of course a longer bar will help. Good luck to you sir! ------------- Extreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases. - Hippocrates |

thank you again for your replies =) I appreciate it I regularly shop from painfulpleasures, piercedfish and mspiercing for my piercings if 316L ASTM F-138 Stainless Steel is suitable material, I can get my hands on that one fast (the one from painfulpleasures) I prefer flat discs over domes, I'll order them soon thank you again =) I'm relieved the scar tissue will go away when I switch bars |

Dude The Apa Will Be Fine. thechaingang.com painfulpleasures.com. bodyartforms.com. halfballs might put some preasure on the flat bottom resting on the glans. you def need at least 1/8" on ur bar. dont down guage though. good luck. It Also Looks Like The Balls On The Bar Are Too Small. Bigger Ones Add Weight But Prevent The Digging. |
