Tiny Bit of Blood and Some Swelling?
Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 10:41 pm
So, I'm currently at a size two. I have my tapers in, and I have my plugs ready. As my luck would have it, the guy at my jewelry store accidentally gave me zeroes instead of twos. There is a no-return policy, so I figured that I can take a set of size four plugs, and tape them to a size two. So I tape them up, and they're a hair under size two. I push the one in my left ear in, and I feel pain. On a 1-10 scale, a solid one. So I take it out and a bit of blood trickles out of my ear. Not much by any means at all, a tiny bit. I put my tapers back in for about an hour, then go to hop in the shower. I take a look at my ear, and the hole seems a tiny bit puffy. It is just a bit small. I've never had any blood or pain or even swelling so far, so I'm a bit freaked out. What can I do?
