Eyebrow piercing

kieranmcg1

Hey i had my eyebrow and ear pierced about 3 to 4 weeks ago . My ear is fine . My eyebrow is another situation . It isnt soar but is kind of red around that area . I am currently stil washing it with eh its the same stuf that u use with ur contact lenses to clean them i was told to use this by a piercer . There is puss coming out of it but only if i squeeze it . Is it infected or what im not to sure what to do here it has been pierced for quite a while and i wasnt to sure but didnt think this was normal . Can any of you tell me what i can do.

dont use contact lense solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!
use warm water with sea salt in it, way better. i dont know whats in contact lense solution but i presume its irritating the Sh!te outta your eyebrow. stop using it and use warm water and salt pwease

There's a few different types of contact lens solution. Some are just saline which is ok. Some are multipurpose and have cleaning stuff, disinfectant, etc, and these aren't ok. What's in the ingredients of the one you're using?

yea its the saline on its just salt water but in the right doses . im just lazy instead of mixin it myself i just use it .

hey,

Id defo agree with the other guys dont use contact lens solution the best is warm water and sea salt, disinfectants kills all the skin cells trying to repair where as salt water repair them,
On my first eye piercing i never noticed anything like puss or been red, whereas on my 2nd ( the woman butchered me) she burst a blood vessel in my eyebrow, it was red and also when i squeezed it stuff came out of it i dont think it was puss doh,After a while it just stopped but i did clean it every day, thats what i get for going to some nut in georges arcade to get it done, id defo reccomend snake bite on abbey street to get it done, so clean, quick pain free and good, minus the blood aswell, more professional

Wasn't much of a proper tattoo parlour so was it?! Can't speak for the tattoo side of the shop, cos I don't know or really care where you're talking about, but the piercing side of it can't have been "proper" if she went and pierced you with a gun, it's not what professional people or people with any knowledge about what they're doing use. And obviously I don't agree with it or anything, but you can't really go complaining about what's the world coming to when you went in there, obviously didn't ask any procedure questions and find out what they use and then didn't even take notice of anything she/he was using before you shut your eyes. Like every time I've gotten pierced I've seen a tray infront of me that's taken a good few minutes to prepare and seen exactly what's been used before anything went near me, so I'm not really sure how you missed it. What I'm basically saying is, while it's crap that people are still piercing with guns you can't really whine about it being wrong of them since you walked in there and let them do it.

second rant of the night over methinks.

its a place called skin art in Derry . Porn Star spray disinfectant in your eyes and see how good ur sight is and u will see where im coming from . I was told it was a good place to go and since it was a tattoo parlour and piercing parlour i thought well like its not like they are going to pierce it with a gun any piercer with any knowledge would know thats wrong .

Gauge

Well, personally I'd be out the door the second the piercer blinded me with disinfectant, but I'm fussy like that...

porn_star

I just laughed so hard at that. Surely if someone went and sprayed disinfectant into your actual eyes it's a warning sign to get out of there,no!? Not trying to pick a fight or anything, I just think it's hilarious that you can say you were shocked that she pierced you with a gun when you never did any research other then being told it's a good place and then went and got momentarily blinded in the eyes and the bells didn't go off in your head to get out of there! What's even more funny and I'm sure it wasn't for you is that you said she was piercing your ear, so what was she doing disinfecting your eyes?!! And a word of warning for the future, there's a lot of places that do both tattoos and piercings and there's a lot of places that do both that shouldn't be gone near.

kieranmcg1

wel pornstart how many times have u been in a situation where a piercer started work on ya and u just got up and said no and left . and if she is piercing my ear why was she disinfecting my eyes . The thread is about my eyebrow piercing that was done just before that

porn_star

never. d'you know why? cos I've always gone to reputable piercers who knew what they were doing and spent quite a bit of time getting to know them and there ways. I've always seen what was going to be put near me and had never once have i felt uncomfortable, the way it should be really, no? and I've had well over 30 piercings and only ever been pierced by 3 people who I'd go to regularly... that's the advantage of putting some thought into it. But would I walk out if I wasn't comfortable or felt in anyway that I wasn't in a clean or safe area? yes, yes i would.. why would i pay someone to butcher me and put my health at risk, that's just stupid, so for the 5 seconds that you have to stand up and say "sorry, i'm not comfortable with this" then i think it'd be pretty much worth it. but hey, that's just me and i'm all for getting experienced people to work on me

kieranmcg1

well im up for getin experiance ppl workin on me aswell there is no doubt about that . but if u dont go to different ppl how are u ever gona know if the person u are goin to is anygood or not in ur eyes he may b good but compared to someone else they are nothin . and i dont have reputable piercers . there is only a handful of piercing studios up here so you dont have much of a choice where u go to but ah well i think its starting to come around now anyway so it should b fine

Ring-in-ma-thing in derry is a reputable piercing place.

kieranmcg1
