Question:

scaffold/industrial piercing help!?

Ok so 3 days ago (4 tomorrow), i got a scaffold piercing, AKA an industrial, and it was fine up until today when i noticed a small build up of clumpy, very dark, blood around the second hole of it. I cleaned it off and it stayed ok for a few hours and now i think it's coming back! it itches a bit, but when i asked my older brother (who has several piercings) he said it was starting to heal and that it's common. also, the woman who pierced my ear (who also has several facial piercings and 2 scaffolds) said it would definetly bleed during the 6-8 weeks it takes to heal.i was just wondering why the blood is so dark and thick, and why it itches when the blood is there.this is the first piercing i've had since my earlobes as a child, so i don't really know much about them :/ help please!!!!!

Answer:

Depends on where you live- I live in Michigan and the tattoo parlors around here are $25.00 for all peircings above the waist. I dont think Ive seen anywhere for more than that. But if you live in California or Florida, it will probably be more because its a big tourist/spring break spot and a lot of college kids get tattoos/peircings on Spring Break, so they jack up the price of everything
whats happing 2 ur piercing is totally normal i got my industrial pierced about 2 or 3 weeks ago it bleed alot the person that pierced it said that was normal....u just need 2 clean it at least 2 or 3 times a day...when u take out the jewelry for the first time it's gonna bleed.
I had the same thing happen, my ear was pretty much in shock the first three days, then the 4th day it was like F-YOU! It was not fun. the build up isn't bad, it means that the blood is flowing that the piercing is trying to heal itself, get a q-tip good and soaked in rubbing alcohol or spray some H2Ocean on it. (They should have sold you some at the parlor you went to, if not, go back and buy it, it is a god send. It cools and disinfects the area.) thoroughly soak down the little crusties and let them come off on their own. DO NOT USE YOUR FINGERS and DON NOT TWIST THE BARBELL. this will promote skin growth and you can get a Keloid, which is a small ball of scar tissue. if your fingers go any where near your piercing you should rinse them in rubbing alcohol first. the itching is probably just a reaction to the crusties being there. Soak the crusties off and try not to touch it or sleep on that side of your body and it should be OK.
