Tattoos and other body mods
nekowafer:
Yeah he was rude for no reason. A lot of people in the body mod community, when they think they know a lot about body mods, will look down on those who seemingly know less. But obviously this guy doesn't know that much, if he's selling low quality, externally threaded jewelry. Can you order online? Or maybe check out Industrial Strength and Anatometal to see if they have any sellers in your area. Their jewelry is significantly more expensive, but also polished to a mirror shine and internally threaded.
I definitely do not agree with telling you to use antiseptic spray. Why did he want you to switch?
Welu:
I think I'll have to get online and bite the bullet for the price. There's not many resources here unfortunately.
I sleep on my left side and I got cartilage piercings on that side about six months ago. They're still sore to the touch and they get yellow crusties. I try to sleep on the other side but roll over in my sleep. I'm going to stick to salt water but try to clean them better. I do them in the morning and before bed so could move up to three cleans.

He sounds sketchy.
A friend who has a newish industrial sleeps on one of those horseshoe travel pillows with his ear in the hole, so that there is not pressure on it. I dunno if that'd work for you, but it's an idea.
Welu:
The same piercer did my other side cartilage and they healed great but yesterday's experience was disappointing. I guess just because the tattoo artists there are great, it doesn't mean the same for the piercers. :meh: I'll try one of those horseshoe pillows, can use them for bus journeys if they don't work out for the ears. My pillows are quite soft so I can push a dip into them to lessen the pressure but it's not ideal.
Thanks for the advice.

I am using that method and I dunno if it's really making a difference but I like to think it is! No pressure on that part of the ear definitely is more comfortable to sleep on; I just swap back and forth between the neck pillow and the regular pillow when I roll over which is a bit annoying.
