PSA to any nonhumans/otherkin/voidpunks who want a fang piercing to affirm themselves!!!

Do NOT do this:

This is a “smiley” piercing (a horseshoe bar through the frenulum); fang bars are NOT proper jewelry to wear in them! Their size and shape can increase the risk of gum recession and tooth chipping (and are at a higher risk of being torn out by mistake!), plus they’re difficult to live with when it comes to eating, drinking, and sleeping.

Do this instead:

These are vertical angel bites (AKA “angel fangs”), using a standard curved barbell with a spike on the bottom. They don’t extend into the oral cavity at all, which means your teeth won’t be damaged and there’s a lesser risk of injury. This piercing is also easier to live with so you can keep your fangs full-time (as long as the spikes you use aren’t TOO long, I’d recommend 3 to 4 mm).

Pls remember to affirm yourselves safely (especially with body modification), and only wear jewelry that’s meant to safely go in your piercing! 💕

(This is a safe space for MOGAI, otherkin, voidpunk, and nonhuman identities! Any offending or bigoted comments will be deleted and blocked. Please be respectful in the comments!!)

A random thought I feel like sharing into the void:

Almost definitinally transhumanists/body-modders have to be okay with transgendered folks. I'm not super well traveled, online and offline, but I see enough gatekeeping in communities that I expect there are transphobes in the transhumanist and body-modder communities. It doesn't make sense to exclude transgendered people, though. They are making an effort to be more/different than the body they are born with. Who cares if it isn't some grand cybernetic enhancement, or even if they get gender affirming care. They are modifying themselves. I like that. Biopunks, the lot of them.

Rock on, trans punks.

Anyway, just my random thoughts, O dear Void mine.

Pierce It Yourself: Nostrils

So, you wanna get a facial piercing? Maybe it's your first piercing ever or maybe it's your second, third, fourth, fifth, maybe it's even your twentieth piercing.

No matter how many piercings you have, you can do your own nostril piercing. Maybe you have strict parents that wouldn't take you to a piercing place, or maybe you can't afford to get it professionally done. Either way, I'm here to walk you through piercing your own nostril.

Preparing

First, you want all the proper materials. For a nostril piercing you will need:

18g/20g piercing needle

Piercing jewelry (studs are reccommended for first time piercings)

Marker

Alcohol pad

Piercing clamp

Gloves

On what to pierce with, DO NOT USE A PIERCING GUN. Piercing guns do not pierce well. They are also harder to sterilize. More likely they will cause trauma to the skin and get infected.

You can get a good nostril piercing kit for $10 that has actual needles. You will want either a 18g or 20g needle depending on the jewelry you wanna put in.

Before you pierce your nose, it's a good idea to look up reference photos and play around with possible placements.

Another tip I'd give to anyone piercing themselves is to watch videos of professionally done piercings. They are good reference points as the people doing them often have years of experience.

Piercing

Now that you have all your materials, you can finally make your piercings a reality. Start putting on a pair of gloves. Then take your alcohol pad and rub it on and around the piercing area. This will get any dirt and bacteria off the area.

Use your marker to mark where you want your piercing to be. When you have your placement decided, take your piercing clamps and put the holes of the clamp ends around the mark.

Then turn your nostril horizontally to prevent the piercing needle from hitting other parts of your nose. If you want a more painless piercing, use numbing spray or numbing gel and put it over your piercing area. Then grab your piercing needle and pierce that shit!

After you pierced your nose, allow yourself time to look at the piercing spot. If it's bleeding, wipe off the blood with an alcohol wipe. Now put in your piercing jewelry at the end of your piercing needle. Remove the piercing needle through your nostril and thread the nostril jewelry into your piercing.

Aftercare

Nostril piercings take around 3 to 4 months t9 fully heal, so in that time, you should be extra careful with your new nose piercing.

Do not play with or change your piercing jewelry. That will cause irritation that can lead to piercing bumps. If you get a piercing bump, use jojoba oil or emu oil occassionally. Do not use chemicals like peroxide or rubbinf alcohol, those will only irritate the piercing more.

To care for your piercing, use a good unscented anti-bacterial soap and warm water on a q-tip and use it to clean your piercings. If it gets infected, please seek medical attention immediately.

After three to four months, your piercing will be completely healed. Congratulations! You now have a fully healed nostril piercing.
