Ear piercings

[Raymond Luxury-Yacht]

This thread is making me want to get my conch dons

 

[NowIsGood]

Two extra conch piercings done today and ears now stretched at 0g (one of my plugs fell down the sink so the spiral ones will have to do)

I was obsessed with wanting multiple conch piercings at one point as my initial in healed so well! Let us know how it goes!

OK, great, thanks. From the front it looks fine, I just didn't want problems down the line. Thanks for your replies, I feel so much better now. I've been having anxiety dreams about ear piercings!!

I’d leave it for now and do the above in terms of aiding the healing/swelling.

I had one of mine repierced as a child and they’ve done it so close together that the holes cross over in my ear and even now 20 years later it’s still really fiddly to put an earring in. So if it looks fine from the front and she’d prefer to leave it for a while, let everything heal up and then in a couple of years if she’s not happy, consider repiercing then!

Thanks. I rang a place local to me last night and they changed it for me and also gave me a solution for a bit of a bump i have on it. Total cost 10 euro!

The fancy studio I got it done in ignored the bump when I asked them about it when I was in there for a downsizing. Won't be going back to there.

I've just been to Metal Morphosis in London! They weren't that friendly

Know this is an old thread, I’ve got one piercing in my earlobes and really want some more! I have a two questions: which was the least painful and healed the fastest (I do badly with pain)! And which one looks the cutest? I’ve heard some people can’t sleep on the ear they got pierced so I’m doing one side and after that heals, the other

I think a faux snug is if you get a conch and helix done at the same time to get the 'snug' look if your ears don't have the ideal anatomy for one, it does look like one though

I've seen people getting them as they are easier to heal compared to a snug. Just looked like you have both the piercings so thought you had one

I have 2 lobe piercings and forward helix, I had to have the second lobe pierced again last week and it’s healed already!

Everytime I book in for one, my piercer says ‘do you want me to just do the 2 in one go rather than you coming back when you don’t like the balance being uneven’

Considering balancing my right daith out

I have my nose and belly button too



would you recommend Maria tash? I’m looking for my next piercing, and I love the jewellery!!

They're very expensive imo. I've cheaper pieces that cost a fraction of the price and are equally as nice. But as a gift they'd be fab I guess. Don't think I'd get another, it's not like anyone knows by them that they're Maria Tash, if you get me.

I have 2 in my lobes, although one has closed up firing lockdown. I have my forward helix which I like but it took around 2 years to fully heal. I nearly gave up. Have had my belly button pierced since I was 15 and would quite like something else but no idea what.

 

[Raymond Luxury-Yacht]

I have three lobe piercing in one of my ears and just a standard one in the other. I wanted to have the extra holes done with a needle but the piercing lady said it would be faster with a gun. I shouldn’t have listened to her, it was rather painful and they are still healing Can only sleep on my other side now. Never do yours with a gun guys! I had my belly button done on the same day with a needle (piercing catheter) and it healed beautifully.

I also want to have my helix and conch/orbital done, but I’ve heard they take ages to heal. Can someone fill me in? I’d also love to get my nose pierced but I would not be able to wear it to work.

 

[NowIsGood]

Does anyone here have their conch done?

I want to know if it interferes with earbuds. I would love to get it done but I think it would make wearing ear buds difficult.

Got mine done in 2018 and it's been a great healer for me! I wear over ear headphones daily with no issues and regularly
wear in ear buds too! (Good Karma from having 2 helixes that never healed?! )
Maybe consider position, mines quite low and in the 'dip' of the conch, so nothing really comes into contact with it. I also sized down to either 8 or 6mm so its a nice snug fit!

Definitely doesn't scream midlife crisis. If you fancy it, go for it! I love my nose piercing and wouldn't be without it now.

I think I would like it, I just worry too much about what people think

I used to have loads, all the way up my ears and on the cartilage. I had a small flash tunnel for s bit too but I took it out and it went small again , you can't tell but I can't wear really studs because it falls through. I used to have a tragus but I took it out and I couldn't get the ball back on. I liked it , though. I just tend to wear little hoops in my lobes now

I’ve had my nose pierced for two years. First I had two studs that kept falling out, each time they fell out I felt really sad, then I went to someone different who used a ring. I bloody love my nose ring sooo much as it’s so not like me to have something pierced and it really suits me. The only thing is I have a lump on the hole, it changes in size if I knock it in my sleep for example it will get slightly bigger but eventually shrink a bit but it has never disappeared. I don’t think it is a keloid.
Anyone else have this? Will this eventually go?

Sounds like a piercing bump. You are not supposed to wear a ring until your piercing is fully healed (it can take up to 9-12 months with cartilage piercings). I’d suggest consulting a reputable piercer, they will probably tell you to change the ring back to a stud (titanium only) and clean the piercing twice a day with saline spray.

How do you rate the pain for all your piercing? Was daith piercing scary? I am trying to do one ear at a time, so I can sleep properly at night

Most painful were lobes!! Which is partly why I'm reluctant to get third lob done on my right ear.

Daith and forward helix they numbed them so I didn't really feel anything. Stupidly I had them done at the same time on opposite ears so sleep was a bit awkward for a few days. But they had an offer of buy one get one half price and I try to keep mine even.

Daith wasn't scary. Go for a bar over a hoop. It healed quicker than my forward helix. That kept staying lumpy until I stopped the solution they give you and the lump went within 2 days!

Tragus and conch I had done so long ago I can't remember. I've had them for over half my life!

I got my lobes pierced again the other day and they hurt more getting done and after than the cartilage ones I've got recently

 

[Former_Antelopee]

@Former_Antelopee I had to google what a shen men piercing is - I've always just called it a flat piercing and had no idea it was to help with anxiety!

Here's a photo of mine!

Apparently it's slightly different to a flat helix but basically the same just a different position. It's also called a faux rook so it's over where the top part of the rook piercing would be

For those of you who had your daith pierced, how do you clean your ear. I mean, ear wax? Because it is so close to the entrance I am just worried about cleaning.

I had my conch done before Xmas, it is healing perfectly but I haven’t slept on it even for a day. But I am going to get my flat done. I want to do one ear done first before the next as I am a side sleeper myself.

This was mine literally 10 mins after having it pierced. Can still see the pen markings lol.

It doesn't get in the way of ear hole and I have my tragus done on the same ear.
