It's been a month and it's been very up and down. First is my old bar, and last two are today. Sorry for all the photos I just get anxious and take a lot of them :|

So first of all, I asked for titanium and internally threaded when the dude pierced me (even paid 15 extra bucks ahhh) and the dude that took it out (different guy) said it was plastic plated steel so :/ and externally threaded 

He said on first glance I had the anatomy, and then when he examined more closely said the other piercer bent my ear when he pierced me to "make" the anatomy so he said I'm in a weird spot where it's difficult to tell but I probably don't have suitable anatomy ?? I'm pretty sure he's APP because he had a sticker saying that. He said I can either take it out or keep it in and see if it gets better and I decided to keep it in

Anyways I got a longer bar and it hurt like a bitch probably more than when I was pierced lowkey

I got some bad bumps they went away but I neglected cleaning it and they got bad again a few days ago that's my fault but I think it's getting better again I'm just slow and stupid, but the top bump (the one I was most concerned about) went away for a little bit so hoping that happens again? I also had a bump on the other piercing near the back I had for a while and it got bigger than I think popped when I cleaned it and got much smaller so hoping the last of it goes away soon 🙏 

I can kind of tell when my industrial is doing good and when it's doing based off how my room feels lol

But thoughts on where to go from here? I'm buying a hairdryer soon to try and make sure it stays dry since I think I have a big issue with that

For bot: 7 months old. Internally threaded titanium (for real this time). It's a bar. It's been upsized by 1/2 an inch I think? I use saline solution and this is an update :)
