My ear is pretty grosss, but I guess thats my fault. We went to my peircer and he told me to just leave it alone and just use water because it was irritating it. so i was pretty glad that I didn't have to take it out I just wish it would heal. :( Okay, I got my tragus peirced about 2 and a half monthes ago.

Also, if you're finding the soak quite drying try using less salt. You should only be using 1/4 of a teaspoon of SEA salt at the most. Table salt is full of impurities and won't really help at all so get some sea salt. I'm a bit wary of using any pre-made solutions as they usually tend to have stuff in them which isn't really necessary and may over-clean the piercing by stripping away all of the good bacteria needed to heal the piercing as well as the bad. Also, I don't see why she needed a wooden paddle thing for the needle? She should be using a receiving tube if she's worried about hitting anything once the needle has gone through. Glad you like it though and also very glad you had it done with a needle! Hate guns! When you say she cleaned the bar, did she autoclave it?
