A new tavern! Take a look around and make yourself cosy!
This is the place for off-topic chat, sharing, and hanging out!
You can find our old Tavern here.

Note: BlogTeam discourages making short, spammy comments in quick succession, as this can make Tavern pages go past really quickly. Commenting for the sole purpose of taking over the purrs or just because can cause other comments to get buried. However, we still encourage you to share your thoughts and just chat away, of course, but making comments for the sake of making comments is discouraged ๐
We also encourage people to avoid using special fonts in their display names, because it can cause screen readers (which read all of the text, emojis, and images on the screen out loud) to crash or make things impossible for people to understand (click here for an article about that). Screen readers are used by people with visual impairments and help make things more accessible for them, so let’s all do our part in keeping the blog a place that they can come visit and chat on without issue ๐
I’m finally getting my ears pierced tomorrow! And after I can take out my sleepers, I’m 100% planning on buying these: https://www.drawnbynana.com/shop/p/ghost-acrylic-earrings
Does anyone have any care tips after you originally get your ears pierced?
Ooo congrats! I’d say just to keep your earrings in for maybe a month or so after you get them pierced just so the holes don’t seal up, and I think maybe just check every once in a while to make sure that there’s no infection or whatever but you don’t really have to do much when you get your ears pierced if I remember correctly ๐
idk anything about pierced ears, but those earrings look cool! gl with getting them pierced!
Oooo cool! I’ve never pierced my ears, so I don’t have any useful advice ahaha
Get a saline solution and use it on your ears at least 2x every day to prevent infection. ๐ Don’t use hydrogen peroxide or anything other than saline to clean your ears as it’ll just cause further irritation. Even though I admittedly do it whenever I get new piercings, try not to mess or fidget with them too much!
Also, those earrings are absolutely adorable c:
Congratulation! I got my ears pierced when I was at a mall and had just watched the detective pikachu movie ๐ my brothers and cousin were still watching Shazam so my mom was like โwanna get your ears piercedโ and I thought it was a joke so I was like โsure why notโ and next thing I know Iโm sitting in a chair getting my ears glamorized ๐
Like Flam said, keep them in your ears for a little while and regularly clean them! I guess thatโs it lol ๐ And those earrings are SO AMAZING ๐คฉ
Tysm!
My pleasure!
Ooh nice! I know nothing about ear piercings (my mom will never let me until like I’m twenty years old :P) but those earrings look adorable! Congrats Osp!
Keep in for at least 3 weeks, they should’ve given you cleaning stuff where you got it so use that every day and twist it ’round a bit make sure its not growing in. Don’t swim while they’re in, or put anything else sketchy on your ear.
Tysm ๐
I have some advice: Don’t get your ears pierced at Claire’s. ๐ I got mine pierced there many years ago because my parents didn’t know any better, and thankfully nothing went wrong but the pierced holes in my ears closed up because I didn’t use the ear care solution/liquid/whatever it’s called or wear the ear piercings that much. ๐
The reason why I don’t recommend Claire’s for ear piercing is because they don’t use actual professional ear piercing tools to do it; they just teach the shop staff for a few minutes on a dummy/mannequin and then say that they’re ready to do it on anyone. Please go to a professional piercing parlour instead as they know what they’re doing there. ๐
If you don’t know where to find a piercing parlour near you, look online or change the keywords to ‘Piercing and Tattoo Parlour’ as most of them also do tattoos as well as piercings. ๐
Also, after you get your ears pierced, they should give you some ear-care products in the form of liquid solutions that you put on the part(s) that has/have been pierced so it doesn’t get infected or the hole doesn’t close back (If they don’t give you them right away, just ask for it and they’ll give you some). Apply these ear-care solutions regularly according to the instructions on the bottle and how the people at the piercing parlour told you to do it.
I haven’t had my ears pierced in years, but there’s my advice based on what I know/remember. ๐
I don’t have Claires here, and the guy who pierced my ears had 10 years of experience apparently and everyone who went to place I got my ears pierced at said that the people who work there are great ๐
This earrings are soooo cute. If you like dinosaurs, Amazon has a pack of like twelve different dinosaur earrings. I wear them and get compliments all the time. But Iโm kind of a dinosaur fanatic. ๐
Thatโs awesome!! Gl!
WHOA those are super cool! Good luck, Osp, and tell me how it goes – I might get my ears pierced and I want to know what to expect
It didn’t hurt too much for me! It looks kinda scary but it was fine afterwards ๐
hey osprey! here some tips as someone whos gotten over 5 piercings (they’re great ), use saline to make sure it doesnt get infected and wait atleast six months before remove the earring for the first time, try not to use any cheap earrings until after its fully scarred (1-2 years) and dont use really heavy earring on the piercing as it could break easily within the first year!
Ok tysm for the advice!
Ooh awesome! ๐ those earrings are so cute by the way <3
niiiiice! just make sure to rub your piercings with alcohol every morning and before bed for at least a monthโฆ i learned the hard way, hehe.
I got banned from Roblox for a day for telling a child that I’m a parasite and that I will eat it’s intestines from the inside ๐ TO BE FAIR, THEY STARTED IT BY SAYING THEY WOULD EAT ME-

There’s a Taylor Swift concert here in Singapore, but I’m not a Swiftie so I don’t see what’s so appealing ๐ The 50k people might disagree with me though ๐
Relatable ๐
My thoughts exactly
Iโm glad to meet someone whoโs not a Swiftie. I donโt get the hype either.
No-swifties unite ๐
Has anyone seen Dune: part 2? I saw it yesterday and AAAH it was SO good! (I donโt recommend it to kits though, itโs a bit violent and there are some inappropriate scenes) It was even better than the first one ๐ญโค๏ธ I think I might be loving this more than Inception aaa
Uhhh I only know Dune from the books so no ๐ but it’s been a big thing on my yourube feeds, haha. Dune this, Dune that, like, what
The blog hasn’t moved for at least 5-6 hours now… Moddos? Ya there?

I went to a hair shop this afternoon and I think it turned out pretty fine! The barber said my hair was in a terrible shape, ahaha. My hair is a couple of centimeters shorter now but it looks better in general! My mom also got me some starbucks, but she ordered a tall size (which is the smallest, believe me or not) for me ๐
Also, I realized having thick hair is actually a good thing today; as a person with thick asian hair, I never knew it was a beauty thing haha
Nice!
Yes, thick hair is a gift! I have it as well, and there’s so many more options!
Glad you’re feeling happier with it, Wynn :)) I recently got a satisfying haircut and it made me so happy
I’m glad you’re happy with your haircut! ๐
thick asian hair ftw lol
