Multiple piercings in one sitting?

[DucksInARowingBoat]

So I think I want:
Left ear - one lobe piercing
Right ear - two lobe piercings and a helix

Can I get them all done at once?
What about just getting the 3 lobes done and the helix after they've healed?

I know the helix will take a while to heal.

A reputable piercer, would in my experience do 2, possibly 3 at a push but not 4 in one sitting.

I don’t think many piercers like to do more than one in a lobe at a time because of swelling? They may do lobe and cartilage though

Sleeping will be difficult

🥴 I had 7 in one sitting! Was fine until the last 2 when I realised what I’d done. 3 in left ear 3 in right ear and a monroe. Ready to go back for a couple more 🤣

This.

And the helix hurts. My friend and I both ended up taking ours out as they didn't heal well.

My piercer will do 3 piercings in 1 sitting.

I'd sleep on the ear with one lobe piercing.

Not doing the piercings next to each other at once because of possible swelling makes sense.

Helix are a bitch to heal.

Get the lobe ones done and healed before you start on cartilage.

Cartilage take a long time to heal - don't get them done at the same time. Get one side so that you can sleep on the other - if you insist on getting both sets of cartilage then at least buy a doughnut pillow.

the person I use will only do 3 at once

I dont want both cartlidge. As I said 2 lobe and a helix on one ear and just one lobe on the other.

General consensus is not all together. Thank you!

Sorry I read the other way around - long day and tired eyes!

I got my second holes & helix done all at the same time, so they will do it.

But sleeping was a bit crap for a couple of weeks.

I'd just do it btw, no point in healing one set to go get all uncomfortable all over again

The point of limiting piercings is often to restrict the pressure on your body as you heal. You will get better results with fewer. Reputable piercers limit.

I got 2nd and 3rd lobes done at the same time on the same side. I bought a piercing pillow for sleeping on that side

I got first 2 in one sitting (1 each ear) and then 3 a few weeks later (2 more in one ear lobe, 1 more in the other). No problems with healing.

Why the rush?

I had 3 done a few years ago- 3rds on my lobes and a helix. It was fine.

Don't do both sides at once. You need a side to sleep on.

Those of you saying dont do 2 sides at once so you can sleep - standard lobe piercings are done on both sides?

No rush. I was just thinking of getting them all done at once to get the healing done. Otherwise, it will be 2months for the first lobes, then 2 months for the second and then 9ish months for the helix.

It doesnt seem like a good idea so a long healing process it is. 😊 No problem.

Have you had a cartilage piercing before? They hurt a lot more than lobes and take longer to heal, and the upper part of the ear touches the pillow more than the lobe

As I keep saying. I only want one helix so I'll sleep on the other side.
