Where should I pierce my ears next?

WhereToPierce · 27/09/2025 19:34

Here are my ears. I’m tempted to get another piercing. Where might look good. I like delicate jewellery so nothing too extreme.

I’m thinking, 3rd lobes, tragus, maybe another helix somewhere …

So with my anatomy, where might look good?

Sorry OP but your thread title should have a trigger warning about the photo.
I know it's your body and your choice but I wouldn't have clicked on the thread if I'd known about the photo.

WhereToPierce · 27/09/2025 19:59

I really don’t think it needs a trigger warning! I’m surprised you clicked at all if pierced ears are so horrific to you.

Is this a joke? If not, maybe you need to reflect on this being your issue, as ears are visible constantly in everyday life?!

pinenuts75 · 27/09/2025 20:05

I think tragus, I have mine done 😊

Pickingmyselfup · 27/09/2025 20:05

Rook, conch and a tragus in the ear without the daith. In the one with the daith, a flat and maybe a helix.

FrodoBiggins · 27/09/2025 20:06

😂
Do you have a phobia of ears? Or piercings? Or ear piercings? If so why the hell did you click on this post?

Berlinlover · 27/09/2025 20:30

Trigger warning? You really come across all sorts on Mumsnet 😂

789vghu8 · 27/09/2025 20:48

I've just had my thirds done. I tend to wear hoops in my firsts and then studs. I love rectangular studs in your seconds.

My immediate thought was "Not Claires "

Your ears are equal numbers of piercings . Do you use ear phones or iPods ?

You could have a tragus in the right .

( I have lobe x3 , daith, tragus , forward helix , ).
I want a new one somewhere too .

KurtCobainLover · 27/09/2025 21:00

Tragus on one side and then an anti tragus in the other.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 27/09/2025 21:08

Are you planning having more than one done ?

Had to Google anti-tragus

I want a rook but DD reckons it;ll sting a bit .

DramaAlpaca · 27/09/2025 21:12

@70isaLimitNotaTarget I had a rook, it was a bit stingy. I loved it but the bastard thing wouldn't heal and I had to get rid of it.

OP, your daith is pretty. Maybe a rook in the other ear?

It's the healing that's the trouble isn't it !
My forward helix was a little git to heal and the cartilage there wasn't too thick so not painful to do.
I need to make sure my next one (see I;m already planning it ) won;t catch in my mask .

Btowngirl · 27/09/2025 21:28

I’d go flat or forward helix! They’re bitches to heal but if I had my time again, I’d get one of those donut pillows to help. Worth it though as they look great.

FuckKnowsMatee · 27/09/2025 21:33

What about something like this OP? It’s my favourite piercing on my ears and healing was actually quick and a lot less painful than you’d think.

cotedazur28 · 27/09/2025 21:36

I’ve not long had a conch piercing on the ear that has two lobe piercings and a daith. Now it’s healed I’m swapping to a hoop in the conch. The other ear has two lobe piercings and a helix.

Stop piercing and become a blood donor instead 😊

Steady on @FuckKnowsMatee or else @Reachedtheend will need resuscitating!! 🤣

DitzyDerbyBabe86 · 27/09/2025 21:49

I love my forward helix.

Hohofortherobbers · 27/09/2025 22:52

I don't know the name of these piercings but I saw 2 tiny diamond studs in the position I've marked on your ear below and it looked really nice

Absolutely love this post for all that is wrong with it

im squeamish about piercings but clicked in this thread to have a look

@Reachedtheend why on earth would you click on a pieced ear thread just to complain about it? Go click somewhere else
