Should I give up on my piercing dream?

DEAR BODY CANDY: Hi! My name is Martina and I have had 5 navel piercing but lost all of them because my body rejected them. My body just seem to reject them all but I need one soooo bad. I took a chance and pierced my nose which took 6 months to heal, before I could change the nose rings. My nose piercing is doing pretty well and I am just loving it.

BTW all the professionals that pierced me says I have very tough skin. Do you have any advice for me where this is concerned? I really need a belly button piercing and if I get one it would be # 6. Should I give up or should I keep trying?

Finally getting my nose pierced. Can you answer these questions, please?

DEAR BODY CANDY: I just got my nose pierced about a month ago, and am soo excited!!! Have wanted to do this for like 25 years and kept talking myself out of it. I am 54 years old, so decided it’s time! I’ve been following your blog (which I LOVE, by the way!) as well as research online. I have a few questions that I can’t find an answer to, so am writing you:

1) the style of my start up stud is 14k yellow gold-16 gauge w flat back on the inside- looks like the shape of a wine glass. Is the backing supposed to fit flush against the inside of my nostril? If so, I need to have mine adjusted. It slides in and out and rotates especially during cleaning and I hear all over the place that you are not to allow it to spin...To let it heal, so not sure how to proceed.

2) I am like everyone else, can’t wait to switch out my stud. I have already bought two diamond studs (current starter is CZ) - one is prong set and other is bezel set - both 14K, but are much thinner (20 gauge w 1.5 mm stone w tiny ball for inside the nose) - bone or barbell style. I am worried they won’t stay in (go straight through the hole, etc -if I blow my nose or sneeze! Any suggestions? Any style you think is better and easier to keep nose clean and most comfortable.

3.) When can I have a professional switch it for me? I would like to do this before my 55th birthday (Oct 3rd, 2021)

4.) my piercing is a little pink. Is that normal for where I am in the healing process? No pain and no discharge. See attached photos...

Why is my piercing bleeding after changing my jewelry!?

DEAR BODY CANDY: Yesterday I changed my L-shaped stud nose piercing to a hoop piercing I’ve had the piercing for 3 months now. I noticed some discomfort and some pain. This morning, I noticed it bleeding and a bump and was swollen. I would like some advice as to why this is?
