Rook piercing- Day 14

Same 

Not alot has changing with my rook piercing I think it's settled down now.  

There no pain unless I hit it or any sign of swelling or redness anymore. 

I'm still going to clean it for the 2 months that the piercer told me to. 

Rook piercing- Day 13

All the same 

Today my ear has been pretty much the same as yesterday but hurting for about half an hour after I hit it on my arm...

Rook piercing- Day 12

Ahhh!

*sigh of relief* yet again no pain today. 

Woke up with absolutely no pain, swelling or redness at all and only a slight tingle of pain when I slipped while cleaning it and stabbed my ear. 

I've decided to stop full on soaking my ear in salty water as it's starting to make my earlobe dry and flakey *ew*.  So I've no started to sea salt soak once every 2 days and in between just using a cotton bud and cleaning the piercing with that soaked in salty water. 

Rook piercing- Day 11

Zero's the hero. 

Absolutely no pain at all today! Today is probably the best day in rook piercing land hopefully it's a sign of no more pain. 

My ear has no swelling or redness which is probably the best sight I can see lately. 

I'm still cleaning it twice a day. Twice with salt water and mixed with one of the a little tea tree oil added to the warm salty water. 

Rook piercing- Day 10

Oh wow! 

Today I woke up with the most incredible pain in my ear ever! It felt as if something was stabbing the inside of the piercing hole and that a wasp was stinging the outside. 

My ear isn't at all red or swollen just hurting like crazy.. I'm hoping that it only hurts because I accidentally slept on it not that it's infected or my bodies reflecting it.

I've salt soaked twice today and that doesn't seem to of made the pain any less. 

Fingers crossed that tomorrow will be a better day in the land of the rook piercing.

Rook piercing- Day 9

Looking normal 

My ear has finally stopped hurting and the swelling has gone down although I'm pretty sure it won't be long till it's decided to react to something a swell up again. 

I woke up this morning with a totally painless and swell free ear! Which is a huge relief  as after knocking it yesterday I was seriously considering taking it out. 

Cleaning and moving the jewellery is now totally pain free.  

Rook piercing- Day 8

Ouch. 

Last night I slept on my ear which is now one of the most painful things I've done. My ear is now intensely throbbing and red. 

It has also swelled a little more than yesterday which is barely noticeable. 

I can move the bar up and down which is relatively painless although it does turn my ear red. 

The cleaning is now almost painless only hurting if I push to hard. 

Rook piercing- Day 7

Throb. 

First of all I don't understand how this works out a day 7 when tomorrow it would be a week since I've had it done.. Oh well

This morning my ear is incredibly sensitive even my hair being on it hurts there is also alot of throbbing today which is strange as I thought it would start to feel better now.  

It's still slightly red a swollen which hopefully will start to go down soon. 

Rook piercing- Day 6

Itchy itchy itchy..

This morning I woke up with the most incredibly itchy ear which is a sign of it healing hallelujah!

Touching and cleaning my ear has become alot less painful but I'm still wary of sleeping or lying on it. 

There's a tiny bit more swelling since yesterday but it's only noticeable if you look up close. I haven't had anymore crust or blood since it's been done. 

Rook piercing- Day 4

Woke up with absolutely no pain!! *hallelujah* I managed to not sleep on it or even touch it in the night which I defiantly think has helped with having no pain this morning. 

It's still slightly red which I'm guessing is right with an new piercing especially a cartilage piercing. It's still too painful to touch but I'm hoping  that will sort it's self out in the next couple of days. 

Rook piercing- Day 3

Ouch!!! 

I slept on my ear last night by accident and then woke up and punched it.. Probably wasn't the best thing I could of done as now my ear is killing and bright red! 

Still I have no swelling yet but I'm pretty sure in the next 2 days my ear is going to swell, I'm hoping this pain will go away with a paracetamol *fingers crossed*. 

I get asked to describe the pain which is a hard thing to do as it differs from day to day, one day it could be just a numb slight throbbing or like today it could be a huge throbbing and cheese grater rubbing along your skin and bone feeling.

Rook piercing- Day 2

Woke up this morning with a slight throbbing in my ear which was nothing too major. 

My ear hasn't swollen yet but I was told to expect that around day 3-5, which I'am NOT looking forward to! 

There was only a small amount of blood and crust around the holes. 

Rook piercing- Day 1

Today I got my rook pierced which I was absolutely terrified about because I watch videos of other people getting it done and they were saying how much it hurt! 

 

The piercer used a needle and the actual piercing didn't hurt and I didn't feel the needle, it bled a little but after I cleaned it it hasn't bled again so far. 

After a couple of hours it started to throb and sting a little, it's still to painful to touch or even think about moving. 

It cost £25 and was defiantly worth the pain so far.. 

Just after I got it done and after it was cleaned.
