I got my daith and a flat pierced yesterday. I’m in love with the daith ring. I’ve definitely got the bug!

so can you show me yours?

Right it’s in chat now.. can I please see your ears? Christ 🫪

I'm not showing you my ears as I don't have any piercings - yours are lovely though.

But can I just say this is my favourite fed up mumsnetter post ever 😆

I just wanted to see pretty piercings not have an argument! I’m going to get my tragus, conch and a helix done next week I’ve decided and I’ll be posting photos !!

Exciting! I found the tragus smarted a bit but was worth it. I stupidly didn't think through the fact i wouldnt be able to wear by sleeping ear plugs or my ear buds for a long time tho 🙈

The utter wank of ‘curated’ as a descriptor for ear piercings.

I have lots of piercings. Are my ears curated? No. Am I going to show photos of my ears? Also no.

Are you always so pointlessly unkind and rude?

Be prepared for the tragus to hurt - I got mine over a decade ago and still remember the pain 😂

What made you open a thread with the title ‘curated ears’? Was it just so you could have a dig at OP? Like immediately you read the title and thought, I’m going to jump on that with a nasty comment. Have a think about what that makes you. I will give you a clue, it isn’t nice.

Are you making sure your piecer uses implant grade titanium?

I presumed it would be standard but you’re right, I never actually asked directly.

Even my earlobes flare up every now and then and I have had them pierced since childhood.

There are some types of titanium that are cheaper but not implant grade and I think they can still cause reactions for some people - it might be worth checking!

Yes, yes and yes. 😂

Probably get some more lovely comments of my choice of wording for the title of the thread after resurrecting it again but I got a second daith in my other ear & double lobes in both ears today. I like them 🥰

Three days on and the left daith is doing ok :). My next piercing will be a hidden helix with this piece of jewellery in it. I have ordered it through my piercer and he’s happy to go with it 🥰. It will be in my left ear and I think I’ll have a break after that!! It’s from BVLA

This is my favourite. I had a very similar one but got annoyed at it as the dangles kept ticking me and I thought there was a bug is something on me 🤣 so if you feel the tickle remind yourself it’s just the earring before you start swatting yourself especially in the middle of the night half asleep 🤣

Your jewellery is so pretty! Especially as you only just had them pierced.

When I get new piercings they will only ever use the boring balls & hoops until it’s healed then swap to something pretty.

On another note. Isn’t the daith piercing absolutely horrendously painful!! 😭🙀

Edited

Yes SO painful 😭

oh my god yes! It was so much more intense than I expected but it’s done now and I’ll probably never change the jewellery 🤣🤣

Not aimed at you OP, your ear looks cute but since when did a pierced ear become a curated one?!

It was a phrase being used back when I started off in women’s magazines around 10 years ago. So it’s not new.

Ha cheers!! Really regret using the term!!! Might ask mnhq to change it to ‘ear piercings’

@SisSuffragettea piercer will do it for you if you ask! They’ll plot out a few examples and you can pick what set up you want.
