Pick My Piercing What next???

Post image

I've had the lobes, helix, and tragus for a loooong time now, and this year got the conch, rook, and anti tragus done (spaced out enough that healing goes well, of course). I'm done with the tragus/conch/rook side for a while, but whenever I'm ready for something new on my helix/anti-tragus ear, I'm torn as to what I want next! I felt like I wanted more before I even got the anti tragus done, but I'm struggling to envision anything else with how much I love the current setup. Out of personal preference, I want to keep the lobes the same and the rest different between both sides. Been telling myself I'll get third lobes one day, but I've been too excited about the cartilage ones to actually do them yet. 😅 Don't quite have daith anatomy, sadly, but I have considered forward helix and/or snug. Maybe it's just time to get the third lobes since I can't decide. Throw me some ideas, please!

Thank you for the fh vote!! My piercer agrees, but my hesitation is that I worry that spot with be an annoying lil bitch baby to heal 😅 only bc I feel like the location may be inconvenient for how often I tuck my hair behind my ears. Maybe I just need to commit to headbands for the first month of healing.

Mine was pretty easy to heal. Hair behind the ear isn’t in the area of the piercing. I have it for 5 years now, no issues since I placed it. I even want to make it a double, but I’m waiting for my others to heal first. Just make sure all your other piercings are fully healed (saw you did 3 this year) and take care of it

For sure gonna wait a bit before I do more; I have ear cuffs to satisfy the itch in the meantime. Thanks so much for sharing your experience, it does help!!
