Do you have several ear piercings? Please can I see?

I have two holes in each ear. I wear diamonds studs in the top ones, drops in the lower ones. I quite fancy a piercing at the top of the ear. If you have several piercings please may I see a pic?

Those of you who have mini hoops in your piercings, do you put them in yourself? If I buy hoops for already pierced ears in a piercers / tattooists , can I ask the piercer to put them in for me?

I would be happy to pay extra, I just want to know whether this would be a bit of cheek....

These are mine.

Conch and forward helix had just been done hence the redness!

From experience, not a cheek at all...I recently bought new earrings from a piercing place and they offered to put them in for me. I'm told that good piercers are more than happy to do this.

I have 3 in each ear lobe, but completely forgot until seeing this thread! 😂 I only wear 1 pair and have done for the past 2 decades!

Graduated hoop earrings are amazing

@yasminesarahx I love that curved earring you have is it in the conch? Was it painful?

marmiteloversunite · 27/02/2023 19:06

I had a helix done last year and really regret it. It is such a pain. Always bleeding and sore. I had 3/4 months where it was fine out of the year and now it is playing up again. I have very short hair so don't really want to take it out as the hole/scar will show.

Here’s mine, I think I’ll get a 3rd lobe on this side then it’s done. My other ear I want a tragus and helix soon 😊

I love this. It looks so delicate and classy.

MissAtomicBomb1 · 27/02/2023 23:04

Is it possible to have the tragus pierced with a hoop or does it have to be a stud? 🤔

Calphurnia88 · 28/02/2023 10:14

I have a forward helix that I'm very happy with.

Did have three lobe piercings but I don't think the third was done very well, so I either wear one (day to day) or two (special occasions).

Siriusmuggle · 28/02/2023 10:54

@MissAtomicBomb1 a decent piercer will only use a straight bar for an initial tragus piercing. You can have a ring when it’s healed.

My rook piercing was quite troublesome to heal, I found this stuff and it worked like magic, might be worth a try.

marmiteloversunite · 02/03/2023 11:51

Thanks @TossieFleacake I have ordered some to try.

massistar · 02/03/2023 15:31

These are mine. I love switching them around. Find the hoop easiest in the helix as you can sleep on it.

Tragus problem. 😥

So I had my tragus pierced a couple of years back, but took it out after only a couple of weeks as I need to wear head phones for work - several hours daily, plus for exercise too.

In the ear or over the ear - both types irritated the piercing and it was constantly weeping.
I was gutted to remove it as it was my favourite of all my piercings .

Has anyone found a way around this, please?

Thank you xx

Hi! I just wondered, are the holes where your second and third piercings are, very noticeable? I’m toying with having extra lobe piercings, but not sure if the empty holes would look bad on days when I just wear one set…?!
