Re: When should i soak and start massaging?
If they're bleeding you should wait a day or two before soaking so they have a chance to form scabs. If they're not bleeding you can soak them now. Don't do any massages until they're fully healed since rubbing the healing tissue can really irritate it and oils can harbor bacteria.

I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

Yeah they're not bleeding. They actually look/feel normal.. Its kinda weird.
Just soaked them each for like 5 minutes.
Thanks for the info.

Sounds good! Just thought I asked because my 10G piercings bled like crazy, and when I soaked them it got worse. Good luck with the new piercings!

Yeah, my 8g bled pretty bad, also. My wife put a red towel around my neck, so I couldn't see it myself, but she said it was pretty bad. IIRC, I didn't do my first soak until the next day or maybe the day after that. I just showered and tried to keep the shampoo out of them at first. LOL, always a task.
2g lobes, want to be 0g
Re: When should i soak and start massaging?
Oh wow. Yeah mine didn't bleed until last night but even then it was just the right one and it is still bleeding. 
I had taken a nap and woke up and the back of my ear had dry blood on it.
Kinda freaking out about it.

I just got mine done at an 8 gauge yesterday and the left one has been bleeding quite a bit. I suppose that is normal, you did just get a big hole put in your ear.
