I got my left flat we were discussing the placement and my piercer told me a place and I said "ooohh maybe a tiny bit more to the left", it ended up being almost a helix and i came back very ashamed to my piercer and telling him I wanted him to re do it where he told me before hahaha we took it out and did it again and now it's perfect, I love it so much💕
hi did you have it repearced after the first piercing was not healed and can you still see the first stitch ? would like to have mine repearced but do not want two scars tho :/ ty!
@@user-kb3hr Hi! I did have it repierced and the old one left no scars! I took it out after a week or so though, so If you want to get it repierced I would recommend you to take it as soon as possible. The more you wait, the more chances are that you'll have some more noticeable scarring. It also depends a lot on the person. You can take it out and see how it progresses :)
My first non-lobe piercing was a Helix piercing that wasn't quite in the right place. It was too high for rings, too low for crescent-shaped clusters, and I just didn't like the look of a stud in that specific spot. So, when I really got into piercings I decided to retire it to fit my new ear layout. Now I have 2 Helix piercings next to the (tiny) scar of the retired one: one above for clusters and one below for rings.
The only piercing I retired was my tongue piercing. I grew tired of it, and it had done some damage to my gums. I did replace it though----with a 4 gauge dermal punched left conch. That hurt quite a bit, but it's healed now. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. It's sad, but maybe it's for the best. (Jan Griffiths).
I literally could relate to this video so much, about almost a month ago I had to remove my left nostril piercing that I had for 5 years, cause the hoop I had in (bad quality) kept giving me bumps and it wouldn't go away. So my piercer told me to take it out and let it heal and come back in a month or so till get it re pierced. I was definitely a bit sad about it cause it was my favorite piercing but luckily i do have my right nostril pierced so I'm ok with that for now.
They still would have been perfect even if you left them. They were perfectly fine and your pictures would have been perfectly fine but now they'll be really perfectly perfect when you get it re-pierced. People who wanted to point out that they were not perfectly aligned are obnoxious trolls. You're beautiful! Plus, imperfections are part of life. But we can strive for our idea of perfection. About the things that are important to us, especially. Wedding photos are important. You definitely don't want your kids to be pointing out that your nostril piercings are uneven!
I've had my nostril piercing for maybe 8+ years and I decided I wanted the my other side done. When I got it pierced it wasn't even and it bothered me. I took it out after a week. My piercer told me it was fine and if I didn't like it he would fix it but I never got it redone and it's almost been 2 years since it happened.
I might have to take my new nostril piercing out because it seems really close to the bottom on my nose on the inside. The outside is perfect and perfectly lines up with my nostril piercing on the other side it's just the inside. The worst part is its been the easiest nose piercing to heal 🥲
My rook was pierced wrong (it just wasn't going to heal), I took it out, it closed and then I had it repierced correctly. I am happy that I decided to do that
Yes I got a forward helix a wk ago. When she showed me where it was going it looked in the right place. Once done I couldn't see it because of my baby hair and mask. The only way to see it was to realy pull back my hair. I already had 1 forward helix that I can see. The new one was only a mm or 2 out. Taken it out and getting 're done in the new yr.
When I got my first piercing besides my earlobes I got my conch. The piercer said it had to go in the top part or bottom part of my conch and that it couldn’t be pierced in the middle. I ended up going to a different piercer who took out the earring and repierced it in the middle and I feel more balanced out with the placement.
My German Shepherd clearly didn't like my double nose piercings so he removed them for me. I couldn't get them back in and it was during lockdown so nowhere was open. I still miss them
My nostril piercings aren't perfectly aligned either. My right one is 14 gauge, and wears a round clicker. The left is 16 gauge, and wears a corkscrew stud. This has helped with the alignment a bit. (Jan Griffiths).
YES! I had to remove *TWO* piercings for a hospital visit!!! I got a left helix piercing in, I believe, December 1998. I loved that piercing and had wanted it for so long, but my dad did not approve. So, I had to wait until I was an adult. As an adult, I told my mom what I was going to do, and sure enough, my dad looked at my year and said nothing after getting it done. Also, I got a belly piercing in September 1998 and to this day (August 15, 2023) my dad probably doesn't know that I have it! ANYWAY, I had been sick on and off for reasons that were then unknown to me. This landed me in the hospital a few times, with one visit requiring an MRI. I had to take out those 2 relatively new piercings without the ability to get retainers. By the time that I had been discharged from hospital and had time/energy to try putting the piercings back, the wholes seemed to have closed up! I went back to the piercer thinking that they could stretch the holes. NOPED! I had some cartilage damage where the helix used to be. The hole went from an 'O' shape to a 'U' shape! As for the belly piercing, it was irritated and mostly closed up. ARGH So much for stretching those to holes. I had to a new helix and a new belly button piercing. So no, I didn't get tired of having them, *24 years later* ! I got screwed over my a combo of my health and my need for an MRI.
I've had my nostril piercing for around 10 years and I don't know if I really ever liked the placement. It is more on the hump of my nostril than in the groove. I really want to get it redone, but the healing process is such a pain and I'm slightly worried with how much this one could scar.
I had a helix stud i decided to take out within a month because it started to go crooked. I didnt notice till after a week so i wasnt sure if it was pierced that way or what. I had gotren my mask caught on it quite a few times so that didnt help. I do wanna go back and get it done eventually though!
Please do a video on (if you even like getting ideas or requests!?) your fashion (not piercing) jewelry and clothing style outside of stitch fix That would be fun! I always love your accessories!
Hi Gretchen. How long did you have the piercing for and did the hole close over ? Is there any signs it was ever there ? P.s thank you for your content. I really enjoy watching your videos, also we here in Northern Ireland pronounce piercing 'pierc'n' instead of 'piercing'.
I had a vertical labret that was slightly crooked I had it for years and finally took it out and got a labret instead and put a hoop in. It was the best decision I made!
I understand your reason , glad your doing what's best for you , I got my nose pierced 3 weeks ago and I keep forgetting it's not healed since it feels like I've had it forever
Im taking mine out today. I got a huge bump and I've tried everything to get rid of it. Ive had it for also 3 months. I got soo used to it. It gave me confidence and made me look pretty so taking it out is hurting soo much. I love it ugh
@@faizanawaz3844 okay sooo i didn’t end up taking it out at all. I did try and pop it with a needle and it created a scar but it went away in like two days. I just didn’t touch it since I was busy with skl I never had time to. And it just went on it’s own without any scar at all
@@faizanawaz3844 since your one is only a month I don’t think you will have any sort of scars at all and if you do it will not be permanent. However I think you should keep it in since patients is the answer to piercing bumps xx
@@faizanawaz3844 Hi, I had my nose pierced a couple of years ago and there was no scar even after 4 months of having it in. I recently got it repierced on Sunday, at a more professional place. Hope, this helps!
5:48 The fact that *everyone* gets defensive about having to do this for labrets is brilliant X'DDD I personally only use L bends now, since for me they're super comfy and easy to swap in and out :)
When I was 20 years old (my junior year of college), I got my navel pierced. It wasn't done properly and just wasn't healing up. I went to another facility while visiting family over Christmas break to see if they had any suggestions. They spent over an hour just trying to get the fool thing out, then they re-pierced it correctly, and with an actual navel ring as opposed to the eyebrow ring it was originally pierced with. I enjoyed it for 13 years until I had a hysterectomy. I had to take it out for the surgery, and it just didn't want to go back in. I knew I was already dealing with healing the incision (it was done abdominally, so similar to a C-section), so I just bid the navel ring a fond farewell. Here we are 3 years later, and I still occasionally catch myself absent-mindedly twirling the ring that isn't there haha
Hello, I have a 20 + yr old piercing on my nostril that is my 5th piercing on that side it was to far apart from the others , so I compromised and put a hoop there and the other piercing are diamond studs . I love it now. Be Well.
I got my left nostril pierced 9 months ago and I kinda wish, now that it's healed, I can't really wear a hoop because it's to low but I can live with this as I love dainty jewels in it anyway. The only reason, I kinda wanna try a hoop is because most people who get their nostril pierced is because they want a hoop. It's a sorta trend idea and I can't follow it because I can't find the "perfect hoop" for mine but as said, I prefer jewels anyway.
My ear piercings aren’t placed correctly and it never really bothered me until I started stretching them. But My ears where done with guns at home when I was 3 and my holes won’t close over so I have to deal with one being higher than the other.
Unfortunately my septum was pierced crooked. I do have a deviated septum and back then the piercer said they did it so the piercing would be straight with my nose, etc. I stretched it to about a 4g and then it was about that time frame I stopped wearing anything in it. This has been well over 18years now. I’m a bit sad bc I think the septum piercing is a fun one and there are some killer jewelry out there I would love to show case. C’est la vie.
Hi, did your dermatologist proposed a cortisone shot to you or did you asked for this? I think unfortunately a lot of doctors would adviced to take the piercing out.
I recently got second lobe piercings on both ears and I wanted them close to my other lobe piercings because I like to wear hoops and I don't like how it looks when the hoops are too far apart. But I ended up getting them too close, so I'm waiting until after christmas to take them out and then get them repierced once they've healed.
My double lobe piercings were not aligned, I took them out and let him heal over and then had them redone and they still were not aligned, and now I've had them out for seven years.
my lobes weren’t aligned so i took the left side’s piercing out but it just never healed so i didn’t know what to do and got the new piercing on my left side so it is aligned and decided to wear bigger jewelry to hopefully cover up the piercing that wouldn’t heal but that didn’t work either 💀 then i saw a bunch of people on insta with stacked ear lobes and now i just utilize both and have stacked lobes on one side and i’m gonna get a triple lobe i think on the other 😌
I got my two nostril piercings at the age of 17, and in my high school no one had ever seen that before (some of the girls had just one), so I was known as "the girl with two nose piercings" until I was 22, when I decided to put all my piercings out (ears included) but my first ever piercing (a second earring). I needed to empty my face and ears to move on, to grow. I needed to show that I was much more than just "the girl with two piercings". It truly felt good and refreshing 😊😊😊 and it's completely normal you feel like that when taking it out, 'cause it' s been a part of you. I love your videos!!!!
I had a double nose piercing but the second piercing would NEVER heal and my toddler kept hitting it by accident and it just kept getting the bump so I just let it go 😔
I’m so excited you are moving forward with correcting the current piercing so the are perfect. Then being able to move forward with getting your high nostrils your have been wanting. I just have to say I’m not the biggest fan out your current septum jewelry or your hoop in your rook
I think jewelry is so personal. Why do you have to have an opinion about someone else's jewelry choices? If she likes it that's all that matters. Although I know Gretchen can be quite opinionated about people's jewelry choices, as well. LOL 🤷
I'm opinionated about using specific jewelry as starter jewelry. That's not the same as me saying I don't like someone's jewelry choices. For example, while I may not be a huge fan of hoops, I'm not going to go out of my way to say "I don't like your jewelry" if someone has hoop jewelry.
@@GeauxGretchen I just prefer the jewelry you had prior. Everyone has different taste. That’s why I worded it that “I wasn’t the biggest fan” not just come out and state “I don’t like your jewelry” because everyone is entitled to their opinion and taste
Which I understand, but it's jewelry I like and there's really no need to comment on what I'm wearing. If you don't like it, that's totally fine, you don't have to wear it.
I had to take out my medusa piercing because after 4 years of no problems it suddenly started bruising my gums and they couldn't heal from the constant rubbing. It was a sad day :(
My second lobes were done too close to my first ones and too low down. The idiot who did them didn't mark them and ask me, he just eyeballed it, and i was a kid too nervous to ask and I just trusted him (don't ever do this! Always ask to see) It bugged me right from day one and also made getting the third ones difficult cuz they needed to be equally as close and it was hard to decide where to put them. It looked weird, the three piercings formed a V shape, but i found it was okay if I wore a hoop in the first hole and studs in the other 2. In the end though, I took the third ones out coz they wouldn't stop getting infected and irritated over a year and a half later no matter how well I looked after them. Now my two weirdly placed lobes still bother me if I focus on them for too long but generally speaking, I think they're okay and I'm not gonna go through the faff of getting them re done
I never noticed they weren't aligned tbh lol...makes sense though. I have a helix that should have been a flat and have considered retiring it but I haven't had it that long 🤷🏾♀️
I got my conch pierced almost 2 years ago and the piercer put a dot on to mark the placement and I agreed on it. Then he put one of those clamps that are used on septums (not sure what they’re called) and because of that he must not have been able to see exactly where he was piercing so it under up being slightly higher up than I wanted. I’ve got a picture of just after it was done where you can see the dot on my ear and then the piercing no where near the dot. I’ve still got the piercing although I do get annoyed with the placement from time to time and I have considered taking it out but now I’m thinking of getting another below it in the place where I originally wanted to make it like a double conch.
Would it be weird to use threadless flatback jewelry for your lobes? I hate regular backs on regular earrings. My ears stick out too so the backs are too visible.
I had this exact thing with my helix piercing which was also my first piercing but the placement was just naff so I’m always glad I got it redone as a double helix as well :)
Yes, my daith piercing, because it was not pierced through cartilage but through skin. And everybody pierced know, what happend, when pierced through skin on this point 😭😭
I just did this with my medusa and because of the way I am I kind regret this placement too but its way better than before. I also took out a mid helix as it was closer to my snug than my bottom mid helix so get it repierced.
So sadly to say I didn't listen to you 😭😭😭😭 I got my nose piercing and I used alcohol for aftercare instead of sea salt...😭😭😭😭 Then I didn't leave the piercing along I kept messing with it until I got a huge bump...to make matters worst I didn't listen to you again and I took the piercing out 😭😭😭 the bump got worse!! It took me a week to get rid of it then I tried putting the nose ring back in THE MOST PAINFUL THING EVER!!! Especially when it didn't hurt the first time. Now it's back in 😁😁😁😁 and I'm doing everything you said as the southerns would say a hard head made a soft sit down piece 😂😂
I have a pretty noticeable deviated septum so most things look crooked on me. It kind of drives me crazy, but I don't want to and can't afford the surgery to fix it!
I’ve taken out my septum because it was done crooked I’m not sure if I’ll get it redone I’m hoping to find a new piercings shop to get another option since I have pretty deviated septum. I also have double nostrils that don’t match that I want to fix but after taking my septum out it feels naked to also take out my other nostril so I’ve been putting it off 😬 also the new shop I want to go to isn’t doing under the mask piercings at the moment
My lobes I have 3 on each side unfortunately all done separately and at Claire's- I've had them many many many years they are all mis aligned I hate wearing earrings on my lobes, I think they will never close unless I had surgery which I can't afford so I'm pissed and disappointed but I do have a conch, daith, flat, and double helix and I love those, but I really want to have earrings in my lobes I could just wear earrings in my first lobe but when I wear in all three then u see all the uneven mess. Hopefully that makes sense
Why should it heal up at all after this time without surgery? I have got a pair of healed nostrils empty for 20 years and I can put in jewelry quite easily.
I got my left flat we were discussing the placement and my piercer told me a place and I said "ooohh maybe a tiny bit more to the left", it ended up being almost a helix and i came back very ashamed to my piercer and telling him I wanted him to re do it where he told me before hahaha we took it out and did it again and now it's perfect, I love it so much💕

@@carmela1111 what care did you take for no scar mark? Any ointment?
I completely understand the sadness of taking a piercing out. Especially for a piercing that’s old. However it’ll be worth it in the long run! Xx
My first non-lobe piercing was a Helix piercing that wasn't quite in the right place. It was too high for rings, too low for crescent-shaped clusters, and I just didn't like the look of a stud in that specific spot.

Congratulations on the wedding in the fall
I totally feel you! When I decided to take my conch piercing out I was sooooo sad. Kinda grieved about it tbh.
Congratulations on your engagement Gretchen 🎉
The only piercing I retired was my tongue piercing. I grew tired of it, and it had done some damage to my gums. I did replace it though----with a 4 gauge dermal punched left conch. That hurt quite a bit, but it's healed now. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. It's sad, but maybe it's for the best. (Jan Griffiths).
I literally could relate to this video so much, about almost a month ago I had to remove my left nostril piercing that I had for 5 years, cause the hoop I had in (bad quality) kept giving me bumps and it wouldn't go away. So my piercer told me to take it out and let it heal and come back in a month or so till get it re pierced. I was definitely a bit sad about it cause it was my favorite piercing but luckily i do have my right nostril pierced so I'm ok with that for now.
They still would have been perfect even if you left them. They were perfectly fine and your pictures would have been perfectly fine but now they'll be really perfectly perfect when you get it re-pierced. People who wanted to point out that they were not perfectly aligned are obnoxious trolls. You're beautiful! Plus, imperfections are part of life. But we can strive for our idea of perfection. About the things that are important to us, especially. Wedding photos are important. You definitely don't want your kids to be pointing out that your nostril piercings are uneven!
I love the Shinedown reference made my day
I find it hard letting piercings go, they're apart of my body , they're not just piercings to me anymore lol
I've had my nostril piercing for maybe 8+ years and I decided I wanted the my other side done. When I got it pierced it wasn't even and it bothered me. I took it out after a week.

Will your nose piercing completely heal? Will there be a piercing canal left forever or can it close after such a long time?

I needed to empty my face and ears to move on, to grow. I needed to show that I was much more than just "the girl with two piercings". It truly felt good and refreshing 😊😊😊 and it's completely normal you feel like that when taking it out, 'cause it' s been a part of you. I love your videos!!!!
I had to take out my septum and let that heal because it was so far back in my sweet spot I could not flip it up.
I had a double nose piercing but the second piercing would NEVER heal and my toddler kept hitting it by accident and it just kept getting the bump so I just let it go 😔
I’m so excited you are moving forward with correcting the current piercing so the are perfect. Then being able to move forward with getting your high nostrils your have been wanting.
I just have to say I’m not the biggest fan out your current septum jewelry or your hoop in your rook
I think jewelry is so personal. Why do you have to have an opinion about someone else's jewelry choices? If she likes it that's all that matters. Although I know Gretchen can be quite opinionated about people's jewelry choices, as well. LOL 🤷
I'm opinionated about using specific jewelry as starter jewelry. That's not the same as me saying I don't like someone's jewelry choices. For example, while I may not be a huge fan of hoops, I'm not going to go out of my way to say "I don't like your jewelry" if someone has hoop jewelry.
@@therealdeal3672 I’m just prefer the jewelry she had in her rook and septum prior to her current jewelry
@@GeauxGretchen I just prefer the jewelry you had prior. Everyone has different taste. That’s why I worded it that “I wasn’t the biggest fan” not just come out and state “I don’t like your jewelry” because everyone is entitled to their opinion and taste
Which I understand, but it's jewelry I like and there's really no need to comment on what I'm wearing. If you don't like it, that's totally fine, you don't have to wear it.
sometimes i wonder if my medusa is too low but i like that the jewelry right on top of my lip
I had to take out my medusa piercing because after 4 years of no problems it suddenly started bruising my gums and they couldn't heal from the constant rubbing. It was a sad day :(
I have both nostrils done and one is pierced wonky so the jewelry doesn't match and the healing process really is a pain.
My second lobes were done too close to my first ones and too low down. The idiot who did them didn't mark them and ask me, he just eyeballed it, and i was a kid too nervous to ask and I just trusted him (don't ever do this! Always ask to see) It bugged me right from day one and also made getting the third ones difficult cuz they needed to be equally as close and it was hard to decide where to put them. It looked weird, the three piercings formed a V shape, but i found it was okay if I wore a hoop in the first hole and studs in the other 2. In the end though, I took the third ones out coz they wouldn't stop getting infected and irritated over a year and a half later no matter how well I looked after them. Now my two weirdly placed lobes still bother me if I focus on them for too long but generally speaking, I think they're okay and I'm not gonna go through the faff of getting them re done
I never noticed they weren't aligned tbh lol...makes sense though. I have a helix that should have been a flat and have considered retiring it but I haven't had it that long 🤷🏾♀️
I got my conch pierced almost 2 years ago and the piercer put a dot on to mark the placement and I agreed on it. Then he put one of those clamps that are used on septums (not sure what they’re called) and because of that he must not have been able to see exactly where he was piercing so it under up being slightly higher up than I wanted. I’ve got a picture of just after it was done where you can see the dot on my ear and then the piercing no where near the dot. I’ve still got the piercing although I do get annoyed with the placement from time to time and I have considered taking it out but now I’m thinking of getting another below it in the place where I originally wanted to make it like a double conch.
I have recently taken my nose stud out how long will it take to heal I knocked it out when I was washing my face I don’t even know what to do next x
Would it be weird to use threadless flatback jewelry for your lobes? I hate regular backs on regular earrings. My ears stick out too so the backs are too visible.
I had this exact thing with my helix piercing which was also my first piercing but the placement was just naff so I’m always glad I got it redone as a double helix as well :)
How will it close up if you had it for years?
Can’t wait to see it with a hoop!! Gonna look so cute!
Oh and just saying you look amazing with red hair to me.
Reading the title omg omg omg it’s happening it’s happening don’t panic don’t PANICCCC
Yes, my daith piercing, because it was not pierced through cartilage but through skin. And everybody pierced know, what happend, when pierced through skin on this point 😭😭
I just did this with my medusa and because of the way I am I kind regret this placement too but its way better than before. I also took out a mid helix as it was closer to my snug than my bottom mid helix so get it repierced.
I got my industrial taken out because it was rejecting and then got it re-pierced in Oct. 2020. I was sad when my piercer took it out..
So sadly to say I didn't listen to you 😭😭😭😭 I got my nose piercing and I used alcohol for aftercare instead of sea salt...😭😭😭😭 Then I didn't leave the piercing along I kept messing with it until I got a huge bump...to make matters worst I didn't listen to you again and I took the piercing out 😭😭😭 the bump got worse!! It took me a week to get rid of it then I tried putting the nose ring back in THE MOST PAINFUL THING EVER!!! Especially when it didn't hurt the first time. Now it's back in 😁😁😁😁 and I'm doing everything you said as the southerns would say a hard head made a soft sit down piece 😂😂
I have a pretty noticeable deviated septum so most things look crooked on me. It kind of drives me crazy, but I don't want to and can't afford the surgery to fix it!
Where’s your accent from?
I’ve taken out my septum because it was done crooked I’m not sure if I’ll get it redone I’m hoping to find a new piercings shop to get another option since I have pretty deviated septum. I also have double nostrils that don’t match that I want to fix but after taking my septum out it feels naked to also take out my other nostril so I’ve been putting it off 😬 also the new shop I want to go to isn’t doing under the mask piercings at the moment
My lobes I have 3 on each side unfortunately all done separately and at Claire's- I've had them many many many years they are all mis aligned I hate wearing earrings on my lobes, I think they will never close unless I had surgery which I can't afford so I'm pissed and disappointed but I do have a conch, daith, flat, and double helix and I love those, but I really want to have earrings in my lobes I could just wear earrings in my first lobe but when I wear in all three then u see all the uneven mess. Hopefully that makes sense
Did the same thing with my ledt nostril but it is still not 100 % even but i am just gonna live with it this time!
Got my nostril peircing on the right side finally and it's Off -_- from the Left Nostril Peircing
Why should it heal up at all after this time without surgery?
I have got a pair of healed nostrils empty for 20 years and I can put in jewelry quite easily.
Are you going to do the same thing with your lower lip? It appears to be a millimeter or two out of alignment with your upper lip piercing.
It's not.
You should do you for you!!! TFS
Arielle with tattoos
😭😭😭😢
Omg...I didn't even notice....this is really not urgent 😒
This comment doesn’t even make sense.
