About the Author

This "Different Types of Clamps" article is by  Rick W.

I think I made a mistake with my cartilage ._.?

Well, four months ago, I pierced it myself with ALL the right tools and gloves and everything, and my mom knew. I read a lot about piercings since I have my lip and did have my septum done professionally.

Tonight, I changed it from the initial stud I had in to a 16 G labret stud made from surgical steel.
Putting the stud through hurt just a tiny bit cos I had the angle off, but now, my cartilage is really tender... like, I can sleep on that side, but it's uncomfortable...

Is this normal or did I make a mistake? Should I let it close up? I read healing time was four months and my last stud wasn't really long enough for the comfort of the piercing I say...

And it didn't hurt to the touch before I changed it. Maybe just a tinnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tiny tiny tiny bit.

That sounds completely normal. Even if the piercing is healed it's still a change and the new stud might have been a bigger gauge, even if it wasn't that's normal. It should go back to normal within a few days.
