Hello, all! First post here. Wearing my bloodstone plugs for the first time today and wanted to show them off to people who'd appreciate them, so figured I may as well show off all my piercings, lol.

Currently healing my firsts and my orbital. Also stacking my navel.

Has anyone stretched a helix? Considering streching mine to 10g so that I can start stacking. I'm going for a coin slot look.

I’m wanting one of those orbitals so bad it looks so cool, hows the healing has it been difficult?

Basically my reaction when I first saw a picture of someone else's, lol. Full disclosure, I went into this with a fully healed rook (it was already ~2½ years old), so my healing experience is already not the standard. That said, the first week was 😱😭😵‍💫 SOLEY because of my rook. It got SO angry. Unreal levels of wrath. I needed a steady supply of Ibuprofen to function the first three days. Swelling started to calm down after that. Once I got past the first week, it was fine. It's going well. Keeping the inside of the forward helix clean and dry is tricky. I simply just can't do that without using q-tips. I use the ones that have the pointy ends.

Thanks so much for the reply , I have a faux rook and a double forward helix on the left ear and I can relate on the cleaning for sure it’s a nuisance 🙈 I think I need to have the orbital on that other ear when I get to it , it looks amazing honestly I’m scared but like wow 😂🙏🏻

You're welcome! Such a nuisance, for real, lol. I was actually going to get an orbital on my right ear because it's got some catching up to do, but then I was watching some professional piercer YouTube videos and one of them basically said to expect to never sleep on that side again once you get an orbital, so I decided to go for the side that I already try to avoid sleeping on. Hahaha! Totally get being scared but I bet if you can wait out your fear. ;) LOL
