What do you think of this?

I am young and I have short trendy dark hair and was considering having this done on one ear!

Honestly,I think it's hideous,but that's just me.If you like it and can pull it off go for it Smile

It's not about what other people think of it.The point of most people having this kind of piercing is because they like it and it's not 'standard'

HerlockSholmes · 28/12/2013 15:26

beautiful- go for it!

i love piercings and used to have lots of facial ones, have toned down a bit now but still love the more unusual ear piercings.

ChishandFips33 · 28/12/2013 15:37

I like it, especially with the small discreet studs.

agree with triptrap about it's not what others think :-)

RhondaJean · 28/12/2013 15:39

I think it would be painful - 3 times through some quite thick cartilage - but I am a wimp!

OneLittleLady · 28/12/2013 15:50

I think it looks quite nice, I wouldn't have it done myself but if it blends with your usual kind of look, I say go for it.

lookatmybutt · 28/12/2013 15:54

It's really pretty. I think those sorts of piercings can give you upper back/neckache for a while so be prepared for that.

sonlypuppyfat · 28/12/2013 15:56

I thought only farmyard animals needed a load of holes punched in them

DaftSkunk · 28/12/2013 16:01

My first thought would be that it would hurt as it's high up. It's not for me but if you like it go for it.

MamaPingu · 28/12/2013 16:07

I thought it was quite nice too, quite delicate compared to a lot of piercings I see!

I realise it is my choice and it only matters if I like it but I wondered what others would think too Smile

I am a farmyard animal so all is good

Really like it but it'll be nippy.

BearsInMotion · 28/12/2013 16:09

Love it!

MamaPingu · 28/12/2013 16:14

I wish nobody told me it'd be painful Grin

Can't wait to get it done I think it's beautiful, I've never seen it before and I think it'll suit me

I like it! I'm after this one which is just one hole but specific jewellery makes it look like this

Love it - it's a forward helix piercing.

I've had a tragus piercing done quite recently - it hurt like hell and they take ages to heal, but I love it! If you're prepared to look after it then go for it. Do your research to find a reputable piercing studio first.

MamaPingu · 28/12/2013 16:30

I like the look of tragus piercings but the thought of piercing it makes me cringe Confused

I'm quite good at handling pain, it's just the fact it's three might make me struggle so I may need a rest inbetween Grin

I'd like the forward helix on my other ear but would also like microdermals - they risk infection & scarring though so less likely to get them.

alltoomuchrightnow · 28/12/2013 16:34

really pretty, love it

Looks pretty.

It will hurt like buggery though and won't be the easiest healing piercing!

ItsAWonderfulCervix · 28/12/2013 16:44

I like it.

But then I'm a repressed hippy type who is taking D2 to get her teagus fone next week.

JohnSnowsTie · 28/12/2013 17:29

I like it - wanted it after I had my tragus done last year, but the piercer was cautionary. He said he'd do it if I was sure but it takes ages to heal as it's a particularly greasy part of the ear.

HombreLobo · 28/12/2013 17:44

Do you have any other cartilage piercings? I'd love a rook piercing but my other cartilage piercings were such a pain to heal I'm not sure it's worth it.

DitsyDonkey · 28/12/2013 18:16

I like it, very cute and if you stick with dainty studs I think it can actually look quite sexy Blush

MrsMaryCooper · 28/12/2013 18:21

I like it. I don't have a piercing friendly job so I can't have anything visible in office clothing or I would have it done.

usualsuspect · 28/12/2013 18:23

I like it.
