Wahhhhh I got my Tragus re-pierced about a month or so ago after having it out for 5 years. Let me add before my story that BOTH times I have gotten it pierced at the best tattoo and piercing parlor in my town.

Previously, I removed the jewelry because my piercing was so infected. I took it out and I shit you not it was rusted inside my ear. Puss flooded out after that, and once the jewelry was out of my ear it healed up.

Well I decided to try again, thinking it was a bad batch of jewelry... Worst idea ever 😩

I went to the doc last week because my ear was almost swollen shut the infection is so bad. I had been doing EVERYTHING to keep it clean like I was supposed to.

Turns out my ass is allergic to surgical steel. So she puts me on 10 days worth of antibiotics. My shit is STILL infected 5 days later 😩 Currently waiting for my acrylic jewelry to arrive so I can get this surgical steel shit out of my body.

Anyone else have this issue???!
