My conch was an absolute bastard. Swelled up like a rugby players ear and still flares up every now and then.I have a tragus and a rook. The rook was the most recent and has put me off ear piercings forever tbh, it took SO long to heal and was so incredibly painful. It’s fine now but I had to sleep on one side for about a year!
never had any problems with the other ones, I even pierced my second lobes parent trap-style in my bedroom when I was about 13 and they turned out finewould not recommend!
I never minded getting the needle, it was often the recovery after that was worse for me.I don’t have any but I am desperate for a simple lobe piercing, I have a really bad phobic reaction to medical procedures/needles though so the thought of it makes me feel woozyalso I dread not being able to sleep at night on my sides. 🥲
That's what puts me off, the sleep issue. I'm one side heavier than the other but at least I can sleep on one sideI’ve got far too many to count,
Right ear - daith, tragus, forward helix, conch x 2, then 6 holes on my lobes (normally just leave top 3 in).
Left ear - lobes x 3 and outer conch.
Going to work on my left ear next year as I was told by my piercer to do one ear at a time. Not going to lie as much as I like my piercings I hate having to sleep on a travel pillow
If you get it done by a professional piercer using proper needles (not a Claire's gun, which can't be sterilized properly and force a blunt earring through your flesh), lobes piercings really don't hurt. I was like you, and forced myself to get it done to help my phobia. I had it done properly with a needle and despite my fears and being generally sensitive, it didn't hurt at all. I was actually shocked by how painless it was.I don’t have any but I am desperate for a simple lobe piercing, I have a really bad phobic reaction to medical procedures/needles though so the thought of it makes me feel woozyalso I dread not being able to sleep at night on my sides. 🥲
Mine always gets a bump if I wear a ring in it - what sort of jewellery did you have in? I found mine calmed down most when it had quite a short barbell in it (once it had healed and the swelling went down). Anything too long and I kept knocking it which made it worse. Mine is nearly 10 years old now and doesn’t cause me any problems. It’s worth trying again if you can put up with probably about a year of healing!I had to take out my conch as it kept flaring up and getting a bump (and believe me, I tried EVERYTHING). I loved the look of it though so I’m wondering if maybe it was pierced wonky to begin with and I should give it another go. Any tips?
They can do every now and again. No reason. But settles down again thankfullyDoes anyone else’s lobe piercing play up even after years? Last week one of my second lobe piercings went a bit red and sore, with yellowish discharge, I cleaned my earrings and it seems to have cleared up, but is that normal? No trauma to the piercing or anything
