I decided to get a conch instead as I've never gotten a cartilage piercing before and it was recommended by my piercer to start from there but honestly getting my leg hairs done via laser treatment was a lot more painful than my conchJust keep on top of cleaning it and try not to lie on that side for a while.

I will get it though I am DETERMINED
My conch girls

Thinking about getting another conch and possibly an anti-tragus at the end of the month/early next month (one of the other piercings that seems to be of a similar pain level apparently even though it was really a breeze for me getting my first conch done) before I go on my solo trip 
I am getting that daith, even if it means it will inhibit me from completing my 100k+ minute streak on Spotify at the end of the year unless I get headphones

I was considering an anti tragus last year, but couldn't find one positive experience of getting one online (youtuber Roly West did a video about it being his most painful piercing and he has EVERY piercing!Thinking about getting another conch and possibly an anti-tragus at the end of the month/early next month (one of the other piercings that seems to be of a similar pain level apparently even though it was really a breeze for me getting my first conch done) before I go on my solo trip

) Apparently the anti tragus has a jelly like substance inside which makes healing very difficult. It looks rad though and keep us updated if you do take the plunge!
I had both anti tragus' done years ago. I don't remember it being any more tricky/painful than any other piercing. The only negative experience I had with it was waking up one morning, a long while after having them done, to one of the balls on the lobe side having been swallowed into the flesh 
. I thought the ball had come off! I went to the studio and they popped it back out. I took them out a long time ago, and they healed up.

All of a sudden I'm tempted to get a septum 
I've had my nose done before but it was a long time ago LOL
I've had my nose done before but it was a long time ago LOLUnintentionally using this thread as a event log LOL but last night I somehow managed to reopen my third lobe on both sides (me in my mind because of this = 
)
)My 2nd lobe piercings have suddenly started playing up after 4yrs. I've always worn same gold in them but all of a sudden they have become swollen and sore. It's odd
Successfully healed tragus, conch, rook, but I've never had any luck with lobes! Seconds never healed and firsts always get irritated! Sorry no help, but you're not alone with sore lobes!
Has anyone experienced pain when wearing heavy earrings?
I've recently swapped my faithful huggies with some heavy(ish) dangly earrings and the pain from one lobe in particular is so bad! 🥲 I love them so much and want to wear them. The pain was pretty much instant and I managed to tolerate it all day but I had to take them out for the gym because there was no way I could've run on a treadmill with them in Does it get less painful with time? Or should I just accept I can only wear them in short bursts?

Maybe it's the material that it's reacting to? Was it a fresh piercing/repiercing?
They're about 3 years old so definitely not fresh. I've only ever worn studs or small hoops though.
It feels more like a weight related pain rather than a reaction to the metal. Also the pain is only in one lobe, the other seems fine!? Hopefully if I persevere it will get better with time!
My septum is by far my favourite of all my piercings! I've got both nostrils done to, just to make it even ha haAll of a sudden I'm tempted to get a septum
Have you tried support patches? I always use them when wearing heavier earrings and find them really helpful.They're about 3 years old so definitely not fresh. I've only ever worn studs or small hoops though.

I got my lobes pierced when I was 8 but haven't worn jewellery in them for years. If I do get jewellery into them, my ears start to etch and swell. Occasionally I get a big lump in one of the holes which oozes and scabs which is pretty nasty.
I've got my helix, tragus and nose pierced and I'm on my second navel piercing as the first migrated out. I have weird anatomy and the piercer basically did a surface piercing which was never going to last. My latest one is an inverse navel piercing which so far is doing very well ( I'm 2.5 years in!)

I got my first lobes pierced when I was almost 16, it was a particular piercing shop that everyone and their mother knows where not to go in Dublin city... I got my second and third lobes pierced there too
