[sidewalk619]

Marry me

[frog5995]

@sidewalk619 Haha, well thanks for your kind offer but I am taken.

[sidewalk619]

@frog5995 So. I'm better lol. Heads up if you lose your bead, use tape to be a temp until you can get a new loop or ring

[sidewalk619]

@frog5995 God you're fuckin gorgeous though

[frog5995]

@sidewalk619 haha awe, thanks! 

[SexyLittleKitten227]

Hey, What Happens If It's Is Stuck?! Ive Tried Unscrewing Mine From Top & Bottom, Left & Right & Nothing Is Working. Pleaseee Help Me .

[frog5995]

@SexyLittleKitten227 Hmm, the best advice I can give is to go to a professional piercer. They can most likely fix it !

[Passion4CoolMusic]

i want to take mine out. im so confused. do you unscrew from the bottom or the top?

[bluefreak327]

I waited like 10 weeks before I changed mine, but its still red :s

Does anyone know if its normal?

[ApocalypticTendency]

@bluefreak327 I got mine 5 days ago and it's no longer red or sore in the least... I'm not sure if that makes me or you irregular but I'd see your piercer about that

[frog5995]

@bluefreak327 Well its different for everyone. Like me for example, my piercings take a very long time to heal. My eyebrow didn't fully heal for almost a year. But for others, itll take less than the predicted time.

But yeah, like ApocalypticTendency said, contact your piercer. He or She will know best.

You might not be healed fully but itll appear that you are. :3

[LinkinParkWorshiper]

what direction do i unscrew it?

[frog5995]

@LinkinParkWorshiper mine unscrews to the right, but yours may be different :3

[TheDeathRite]

Looks really easy :) I'll be changing mine out in about 6 more weeks, had mine a week with no problems, was told to wait 8 weeks before changing it.

[coronag6546]

i been having my eyebrow piercing for about 2 weeks well it hurt iff i take it off and put in a new one? or is it even safe?

[frog5995]

@coronag6546 Honestly, i waited about 2 months to switch mine out. I think thats safer.

[coronag6546]

@frog5995 lol well i sort of already switched it and i have no problem with it :)

[MoonFang116]

Hello, I had my eyebrow piercing for about 4 days now and I know its still suppose to be sore, but is it ok if you feel the bar underneath your skin? I just don't want it to migrate out of my head lol.

[frog5995]

@MoonFang116 lol! trust me thats 100% normal. Mines fully healed and I can still feel the bar :]

[MoonFang116]

@frog5995 Thanks alot! I think I worry for the sake of worrying, haha.

[xDBROCKxD]

i cant even get mine undone! :(

[SoiLX]

you seem to be unscrewing it from the bottom as opposed to the top? Im completely new at this so, can you just verify?

[frog5995]

@SoiLX my personal preference is to unscrew the bottom one. It's just easier for me :]

[qeminibaee]

Can u get the bars shorter? They look really long

[frog5995]

@qeminibaee yes indeed :]

[FallnFury]

@Frog5995 Idk.. Its not swollen nor does it have puss so I'm not sure :3

[FallnFury]

This is annotying ughh! I can't get mine of >.< Like I try everything and it fucking hruts D:!.

[frog5995]

@FallnFury Is it fully healed? Cause i had the same problem when it was infected. So annoying, I totally understand. :3

[Mrlitefootfan]

Your hot :)

[lilcutienative]

Which eyebrow do you have it on?

[frog5995]

@lilcutienative i have it on my right

[frog5995]

@SilentRowsVideos It was a webcam video

[kinishaturner]

which way you screw the ball off? I tried both ways it wont come off!!!

[frog5995]

@kinishaturner mine unscrew to the right, but it really depends how you put it in originally.

[NessaXavaa]

@kinishaturner If neither way doesn't work, maybe you're unscrewing the wrong ball. XD

[26manuel]

I changed mine the second day lol

[voteforitnow]

lol i always thaught u had to wait like a long time til u change them i kept mine in for 5 months straight til i changed it

[14Bieberfeverforever]

...i kind of hate you for changing wake me up when september ends...

But how long do u wait to change ur piercing?

[frog5995]

@14Bieberfeverforever i waited about 2-3 months

[Helterskeltar]

@14Bieberfeverforever its atleast 6 weeks, u can change it when ur piercings has healed up.

[superray794]

i got my peircing a year ago, ive had the same ring in since..not i want to chanlge to a barbell but idk how to get this one out.

[Tiffgrey4ever]

Hey, just got mine a few days ago. I wanted to know how long you waited to put in a new bar. I'm planning on waiting 4 weeks, but just wondering how you did it.

[frog5995]

@Tiffgrey4ever Well, i believe i waited 2 months because my body takes a very long time to adjust to piercings. But i would say you can wait 1-2 months dependant on how well your body responds to the piercing.

[InfernalMatter]

I just got my eyebrow pierced the other day and i'd like to know if it's alright to still go for a bath/shower, i'm assuming if so you have to avoid using soap or washing the area where the piercing is?

[frog5995]

@InfernalMatter Its totally alright for you to bathe with it freshly pierced. Just make sure that when you wash your face, you don't use any like fancy smancy scented soap. I preferred just plain ol' ivory. Also, just be careful that you don't get any shampoo or conditioner on it. But you should really be fine :]

[king5love55]

does it hurt when u change it? and if u have to take it off during gym in school do u have to buy a retainer?

[antonnnL]

is it really that easy to get the piercing back into the hole? or will it take a couple tries?

[frog5995]

@antonnnL It depends if you have an infection then it might, but if you dont then it wont, itll go right in

[etwygwe]

heyyy:) thanks for the vid its pretty helpful:D, i noticed that on here u have said that u shuld wait 2 months before changing piercing, when i got mine done( i have only just had mine done 2 weeks ago), i was told that you can change it after a month, te piercer said 3 weeks to 4 weeks, and im pretty keen to get it changed to a spike, but after seeing some of the stuff on here im not so sure, do u think i would be fine changing it in a couple of weeks?

[frog5995]

@etwygwe Uhmmm to be honest, it really all depends on how well your body heals. Mine doesn't heal very well so i waited about 3 months, but you should probably ask the piercer to be 100% safe.

[mmoneyitswhereitsat]

@frog5995 Ive had mine for over 2 months but i want to know how to clean it before i put it back in? and like its only the top ball right?

[frog5995]

@mmoneyitswhereitsat You can unscrew either ball, i prefer the bottom one, but thats just me. And do you mean you want to know how to clean the barbell or the actual place that its pierced?

[AIRSOFTxxxNxxxMORE]

you are hot i have the same piercing bt on left

[frog5995]

@AIRSOFTxxxNxxxMORE

lmao thanks ^_^ and sweeet

[AIRSOFTxxxNxxxMORE]

[KapaRAPIST]

HELP! thankyou. !! :D

[caseyneemann]

[crazyirishguy08]

i have to take mine out before monday they wont let me wear it at work :( wouldnt have got it done but i was meant to be at college so didnt care haha ihad it for two months i tried twisting both ends but its on too tight and i dont think any where is open sundays that can help so guess im gonna be using my sneakyness to hide it on monday till i go see the piercer haha

[musiqismysavior]

I'm having trouble taking mine out! I don't know why it won't come out! I've tried to change it for like 1 month now.. and it just won't BUDGE! Can you give me any tips?!? Please, and thanks!

[frog5995]

@musiqismysavior well unless you aren't taking the balls or the spike off the actual barbell itself, i don't see how it won't come out. i suggest you go to a professional piercer and get it checked out,

[MeloraCastillo]

Hey, thank for the tutorial. I had a really hard time trying to get it off.

I took it off because I thought it was infected, turns out it was just a boil that happens commonly to piercings.

now, I can not put it back in. I think the top hole closed but it only had it out for a day.

I'm freaking out a little bit.

I'm a little queezy when it comes to puting it back in, but with trouble getting it throught the top hold im scared.

Any help?

[frog5995]

@MeloraCastillo Hello! You're very welcome!

Here's my advice- If the hole did close up, i advise you to go back to the place where you got it pierced and have it re-pierced. I have to warn you though, i've heard that getting it re-pierced hurts. And also, i don't blame you on getting queezy lol, that happens to me too. Especially when i gauge the 2nd and 3rd holes in my ears. :p

[smbledgend]

okk thanks :) . i'm changing it for the first time satrday reli nervous :)

[frog5995]

@smbledgend Don't be! i was and it wasn't that bad lol. Just gotta clean it and you're good! :]

[jshorty93]

@frog5995 im having real trouble gettin it off help?

[frog5995]

@jshorty93 whats a matter???

[LalaineFrost09]

im just wondering if it gonna hurt the first night wen i go to bed

[frog5995]

@LalaineFrost09 Uhmm it might, a little bit but nothing too major.

[smbledgend]

is a 1.2mm x 8mm the smallest eyebrow bar? i'm changing mine for the first time and i want to know if that will be too big or the right size thanks :)

[frog5995]

@smbledgend uhmm to be honest, i only know gauge sizes, i can tell you that my eyebrow things are a 16 gauge, i recommend doing a 14 or 16.

[supajon360]

is it ok 2 just replace the balls with jewellery just after gettin it pierced?? i got mine done lyk 3 days ago nd i wanna put spikes instead of the balls :)

[frog5995]

@supajon360 yeah it should totally be ok, just unscrew one ball at a time, it should be fun

[supajon360]

@frog5995 thx!! :)

[supajon360]

can u just change the balls just after getting it pierced? i got mine lyk 3 days ago nd i dont lyk the balls nd i wanna put in spikes :)

[Bengalsfan089]

wow you're pretty :), im thinking about getting an eyebrow piercing :D

[frog5995]

@Bengalsfan089 heheh thank you! :D and dude, do it lol

[buttchug69er]

when ever i take mine out and try to put another one back in a little piece of skin inside of the hole blocks it's fucked

[fallinbbyangel888]

@buttchug69er mine does that too, ive been trying to change this shyt for 2 hrs straight >x(

[youngstar898]

is it okey to change the piercing after gettin it pierced like 2weeks ago?

[frog5995]

@youngstar898 no, it takes about two months to fully heal. After the two months, then you can take it out and change it. Just make sure you clean it with the sea salt and what not

[02tyrantxxx]

wow u made it lok so easy and smooth =]

but i wanna take mine out 4 like a week

if i dont put it back in 4 a few das do u think it will close up???

thnx ,that helped a lot n_n

[frog5995]

@02tyrantxxx Good question, im not so sure of the exact answer, but i have heard that it does close up very quickly, maybe within a day?

[MrBags84]

ur cute n u helped me remove my barbell...2 times the goodness :D

cheers

[frog5995]

@MrBags84 hahah anytime good sir :]

[coldfusionmaster]

Where do you plan to pierce next? And how much piercings do you have?

[frog5995]

@coldfusionmaster well tomorrow may 8th, im going to this place called skin deep to get my 2nd and 3rd ear lobe piercings done :] and as of now i only have three, eyebrow and 1st lobe on both ears

[nwkzhustla11]

I got mine done 3 days ago but I wanted a barbell but the piercer told me I can only get a hoop for the 1st month, If I switch it will I get an infection or what?

[frog5995]

@nwkzhustla11 hmph, thats really weird.... i don't think it'll get infected as long as you clean everything with sea salt water first then put it in. but you can never be so sure... It also depends how well your body can handle piercings, like mine takes a very long time to adjust. If your doesn't, i say just go for it, be careful though!

[Felix0890]

I remember feeling like a worm had just been placed in my eyebrow. I actually liked the feeling - it was tingly and cold. The only painful experiences I've had included me tugging it by mistake with my shirt at least a dozen times. Thankfully it's already healed pretty good.

Compared to any other piercing, this one's a breeze.

[frog5995]

@Felix0890 yeahhh it hurts sooo bad when you tug on it, and especially when you accidentally brush over it with a comb. mine always gets infected though, idk why. I clean it a lot and it keeps getting infected -_-

but yeah, it really didn't hurt.

[Felix0890]

@frog5995 Maybe it keeps getting infected because you're cleaning it too much. When I went in for my weekly checkup months ago, I mentioned that I was cleaning it 4+ times a day. The piercer told me that I was cleaning it too much and that I should limit it to 2-3 times a day for the first 2 weeks. If you clean it too much, you won't let the body do its thing. I was also told to stop cleaning it after 3 weeks and mine healed up quite nicely. Stop cleaning it! :P

[frog5995]

@Felix0890 ahhhhh that would make sense actually hahaha.

Thanks dude :] i appreciate it.

[samskullz89]

how long ago did u get it piericed the first time u changed it and was it oar or did it hurt like a nose would?

[frog5995]

i got it pierced august 14th 2009 and i believe you can change it out 2 months after its pierced. and honestly, it didn't hurt that bad, maybe for like 5 seconds.

The afterwards wa kinda an awkward feeling because you have a foreign object in your face lol

other than that it wasn't anything terrible.
