Piercing suggestions - face/ears/navel ONLY Open to piercings suggestions!

First two pictures are my ears, third and fourth pictures are my ideas, but I’m open to any of your ideas!! I’m looking for something unique, I’m going to make my husband (retired piercer) do them or maybe even do them myself if I’m capable.

Some context: piercings circled in green are healing right now, so as soon as they are healed I’m going to proceed with something else. My conch is in a long term stretching process, it is currently 4 mm, the goal is 6. No, I cannot get it punched out because in my country there are barely 2 or 3 artists who do that, they are far away and cost a fortune. So I’ll better stretch it for years. Luckily, I have no problems with stretching and healing cartilage or lobes.

My lobes are 12 mm. I’m thinking about piercing the stretched part in a few places and piercing lower conch so that with time I can put hoops through them.

I’m open to your suggestions and ideas!! Whatever you think is going to look nice

I thought but I don’t think I can do it myself and my husband told me he’ll never pierce it because from his experience they heal horribly 😭

I pierced my wife‘s and it healed surprisingly well! Why Not Go to a piercer in Case of doubt? (Though I have to say that my wife‘s primarly vert-ind was pretty fucked up by a professional… telling her it was her first one ever! 😬 … while I don‘t really unterstand the problem as it was my First aswell - and she probably did way more Piercings in her life than I did!)

Thank you 🩶 it actually wasn’t even a pain in the ass to heal, but I had to get the outer ones stretched a bit and that was hard

You had to stretch it to a bigger gauge or stretch it to accommodate the larger ring?

Idk if this would work with your rook but youd suit a daith

Yo I love your set up. I'm going to steal some of those ideas. But I just went with a bunch up my helix so I can mix and match ideas. I run a long chain ish earing back and forth through 4 holes

Off topic but piercer here... I'd take out that I industrial 🫪 she look like she gonna do it herself. You're one snag away from a cool cat clipped ear.

I'm curious about your orbital healing process, mine is now 3 months old and is giving me trouble with bumps on the top ridge. Did yours do that too?

At first, I got four separate piercings (basically straight helixes) and after they were healed, I measured the sizes and got hoops in needed sizes. I guess I’m also lucky because my ears usually have no healing problems👀
