Ear piercings

What do you have - extra ones I mean other than the normal ones.

I have a 2nd hole in one ear.

I had a helix once around the top bit, but some weird lumps grew over it all thr time so I had to remove....

Helix and tragus. Still want a daith and conch.

HouseofHolbein · 26/02/2024 19:51

3 lobe piercings 1 helix 1 tragus 1 conch.

GiantPandaAttacks · 26/02/2024 19:51

Three lobe piercings (the top one healed oddly with some scar tissue but it can’t be seen with earrings in), a helix and a recent daith. If DP didn’t hate piercings so much, I’d be planning two high lobes on my right ear, a tragus and then a trio helix on my left ear.

2 on each Lobe and helix healing right now, but looking at getting more

Mummyofthewildones · 26/02/2024 19:55

2 in each lobe, right conch, daith and 2 upper right cartilage piercings (which are new and being utter dicks to heal!) And a left tragus and rook! Used to have my tongue done too but took it out in my second pregnancy as it made my nausea worse weirdly.

Jabberwonky · 26/02/2024 20:16

Standard one hole in each ear but I can no longer tolerate any ear rings, whether gold( in any carat) , silver or platinum.
Hypoallergenic is the worst.

itsnothingoriginal · 26/02/2024 20:19

Left ear has 1 on lobe and conch, right has 3 on lobe and I also have a nose piercing. Mostly all done in my 40s so making up for lost time 😁

FortyFacedFuckers · 26/02/2024 20:20

3 on each lobe
Tragus, anti tragus, helix & daith

Used to have lots more but that's all I have now

NCfor24 · 26/02/2024 20:22

3 in left lobe, 2 in right lobe and 1 right helix/flat...ie slightly in from edge. Previously had tragus and will redo one day. As a young adult I also had nipple, nose, belly, tongue but so far just the nipple has been re-done. My belly is far too fat now and I can't face tongue again but I might to for nose or septum if I can tuck it away.

IggOrEgg · 26/02/2024 20:25

Two helix, lobe, second lobe, tragus, conch in one ear.
Three helix, forward helix, lobe, second lobe, third? lobe (higher up anyway, not exactly lobe), daith in the other.

ThisIsNotARealAvo · 26/02/2024 20:25

4 in each love, middle two are 'spider bite' vertical arrangement. Also tragus and rook. Used to have a lot more and am gradually replacing them all. Will do helix and maybe forward helix next.

Vulcanodon · 26/02/2024 20:33

One ear: 3 lobe, tragus and helix
the other: 5 lobe/lower helix, flat, daith
still want a conch!

THEMOSTREAL · 26/02/2024 20:42

Used to have second holes on my lobes but let them close years ago. Does anyone know can these be re pierced? I couldn’t force earrings into them they are too far healed for that, not sure if can be pierced again in the same place?

LadyPoison · 26/02/2024 21:06

Double snug, double rook and double lobe in one ear

The other has a conch and one lobe piercing.

Snugglemonkey · 26/02/2024 21:18

3 lobes each ear.

Right ear: triple helix, tragus, rook

Left ear: triple forward helix, helix.

Ladybird69 · 26/02/2024 21:30

I had 7 piercings on Friday! I couldn’t decide so I had them all. 2 extra on my right lobe and a tragus. On my left ear I got a triple helix and then I got Madonna.

Yes you can, just don’t try it at home

Vetoncall · 26/02/2024 22:19

I have 3 lobes in each ear, a helix in one and flat in the other.

I'm planning to get a mid helix in the ear with the flat done in the next few weeks, and maybe a rook or conch in the other ear at some stage.

brogueish · 26/02/2024 22:30

2 on one side and 5 on the other...the top 3 I DIY-ed as a misguided teen. Looking at images, of "my" 3, I think the top one would be a helix (?) and the other two are upper lobes. No idea about the proper names for these things!

Lanawashington · 27/02/2024 09:48

Left ear - 4 lobes, forward helix, scaffold
Right ear - 3 lobes, 2 helix, tragus

Also have quite a few piercings that aren't ears

SparklyStone · 27/02/2024 10:23

Crush an aspirin tablet in cooled boiled water to make a paste and put it on the bump - this gets rid of them! Well at least when they form, not sure it would work if they have been around a while
