Bruise below my new industrial piercing?

Question

There is a small (about 2mm x 4mm) bruise below one of the exit holes of my industrial piercing, it is the one on the back of my ear where the barbell ends, if that makes sense. It isn't on the actual piercing but right below it. I got it pierced at a prestigious piercing and tattoo studio (they are members of the APP). Is this normal? They are closed sundays and mondays so I can't call them until tuesday. I was using a hand held mirror while infrount of a wall mirror to clean the back of it so I could see it and I found the bruise. Is this weird? Should I be worried? It's not any more sore than I would expect from a new cartilage piercings.

Answer 1

Mine had a little bruise like that after I got it done. It went away after a while, though. Don't worry too much about it.

Answer 2

i wouldn't worry about it, i probably had some bruising on mine afterwards i just didn't notice.

if you think about it, you've just had a 14/16/18 or whatever gauge needle through your body - it's gonna be somewhat bruised and painful.
