I had my lip pierced with a titanum BCR. Bad idea, I suffered numerous problems, like swelling and irratation for about three months. Just as I thought it was calming down, it would flare up again. So I listened to friends with piercings, and went to get a labret stud put in. I’ve had a black bioplast stud put in. However, when it was put in, it bled a little.

It has now been about another three months since I have had the stud put in, and I’ve had NO problems reguarding irratation. And ive even been hit in the mouth.

My problem is, that I’m still getting crusties. Is this a problem at all, or is my body not compeletely happy with bioplast? If not, then should i switch to a titanium stud?

But I’m terrified of it getting irratated again. Also, I don’t want it to close up when I’m switching it out, because I love this piercing.

Thankyou for the help. BME rocks

Flatback barbells are the best choice for jewelry for initial lip piercings. However, bendy barbells made of bioplast can be irritating for new piercings because they move around so much.
You’re likely still having crusties forming as a result of the trauma of having the the jewelry changed and wearing jewelry that isn’t suited for long-term wear in the body (aka “Implant Grade”).

Find a piercer who carries implant grade steel or titanium or can order some in for you and have them safely switch your jewelry over for you.
