I think I just keep getting shampoo in it or something and it gets puffy for a day or two (like once a month) then goes back down. I also have a small fleshy bump behind the top of the top hole. I'm thinking now about taking it out...
So those of you who have this or are familiar with it (you know someone who has it) do you/they still have yours/theirs? For how long?
Also, so as to keep with weight loss questions - I also have my belly button pierced (got it done like 6-7 years ago). Have you had issues with it as you gained or lost weight?
*edit: I just realized the other piercing thread closed a while back, feel free to share any others you might have!
Hi there,
I see this thread is a little old, so not sure if your industrial piercing issue is resolved or not.
I've had this piercing for almost a year, and mine still bugs me. Granted, it would help if I cleaned it every day like I'm supposed to. I have a couple bumps on mine, but they dry up relatively quickly and don't bother me that much. I'm hesitant to take mine out...some days I want to and others I don't. The piercer that did mine measured the bar length slightly short, so I wonder if this has anything to do with the pain.
I have other piercings, too. My first lobes are stretched to a measly 10g...I'm trying to work up to 8 or 6. I've got seconds too. Just the other day I discovered that one of my thirds is still open (I'd taken them both out several weeks ago). I've got a tragus piercing in my left ear, which is healing considerably well given that I'd had one about a year before with a ring that didn't heal at all. Having a barbell instead of a ring did the trick. Lastly, I've got a nose stud that I've had for nearly 3 years - I got a it a couple months after I turned 14.
Those are my babies
But I don't think I want to get any more lol.
