Your APP jewelry haul is ballin'. Lucky duck! You should post a photo of the moss agate in better light, i bet they're lovely!

Yea they were a bit tougher to get a decent photo against the black background with the rest of the jewelry. They’re pretty rad, I’m really digging the crown edges on them.

I had my tongue pierced October last year. And a few days after the piercing, I noticed the part where the top barbell rests curved in a little. It's like, a mini crater around the barbell. But it didn't hurt. It worried me, but it went away after a few days. And my tongue is perfectly fine now. Recently, I got my vertical labret, and now it's the same tiny crater around the top barbell on my lip. Is this normal? Will it just go away on it's own like before? Other than that though, it's fine.

It could be a couple things. If those indentations are caused by jewelry that isn’t long enough to compensate for the swelling, then it can be an issue. But tongues and lips tend to be a bit softer tissue and it isn’t uncommon to have a little indentation from where the jewelry sits naturally and comfortably. My tongue piercing leaves a constant indentation in my tongue and there is no discomfort or damage to the piercing and the jewelry isn’t even too tight or anything.

How do you feel about removing dermals from a pregnant person?

It shouldn’t be all too traumatic to the body to remove them so it shouldn’t be a big deal to remove surface anchors from a pregnant woman.

I have a higher cartilage piercing and when I was younger got it pierced with a gun so I can only use regular earrings. Is there a way I can stretch it? or would I have to re-pierce it?

You can pretty much stretch any piercing. Just be careful, stretching cartilage isn’t fun and it takes significantly longer than something like an earlobe which stretches fairly easily.
