It might be helpful at this time to point out we were
speaking to each other in two languages. Both of us were
doing our best. His not explaining didn't make him
negligent, it was the language barrier. What he made
understood to me was that he was certain in his own opinion
the piercing would look best placed where it was. I trusted
he wouldn't ruin his own reputation by giving me a bad
experience. Plus he didn't have it seated on my eyelid or
anything. But then, he's just human.
So when I wasn't certain after it was done, I questioned.
And like I said before, thank goodness for you guys or the
situation would've gotten ugly as a result of my ignorance.
What an insult to my piercer and myself to have had a
perfectly good piercing removed because I'm too dumb to know
better!

I'm leaving it. I'm calmer now I've gotten some feedback
from people who're knowledgeable. I'm concerned about the
dimpling Kavin saw and will ask about it when I go back in
for the control. It doesn't feel bad but the ball of the
stud is sitting in contact with the skin. I don't know if
the bar is supposed to have enough length to move out at the
top and stay out - it doesn't - but it's also not tight. I
don't know if this has anything to do with the slight
swelling I'm experiencing and will go away on its own.
Questions, questions.
