:eek: on your FINGER??? :eek:

Seriously? Where on your finger/which finger?

Talula_d

its on my left little finger...where a ring would sit!!

Well being on your finger, it's going to get constantly agitated from movement and touching/bumping your hand against things, and just general use of your hands. Plus our hands are generally exposed to everything, so it's got a much higher chance of getting infected too.

I would never expect one of them to settle/not look red, and certainly not to heal up and be a happy piercing.

Talula_d

so you don't think it'll actually properly heal?that's s***!

It shouldn't still be red after 2 weeks. Even though they seem more severe to have done than a standard piercing, done properly, they are less traumatic on the body. As Damo said, the little finger is taking constant abuse and so it would be rare for a piercing there to heal properly.
It would definitely be best to get a piercer (who understands dermals) to take a look at it.

Had one on my wrist a few years back, was always agitated from things like typing, hands in pockets, even sleeping. Movement, frequency of contact and other things are important, you don't realise how often your hands are banged or touched off things

Well I do since getting this..but I cover it at work(not my choice) and i'm awful careful but it does get hit I will not deny!I really don't want to lose it now after getting it done!

Will

argh im stupid, didn't read your post properly. already done. durrr silly me. yeah will be red for a good while, mightn't heal, mine never did

Talula_d

I hate the thought that it may never heal!I really hope it does its not sore or anything just a bit red!

Will

All ya can do is try minimise damage/contact and hope for the best
