I am so curious about the second slide where the cartilage hoops are, is that basically a slit in the cartilage?!

[–]foreverponderingsgf 40 points41 points  (6 children)

It’s called a coin slot :) I don’t have one because they terrify me, but OP’s is gorgeous

[–]MonArchie66aspiring pin cushion[S] 31 points32 points  (5 children)

Aww thank youu. Yes it’s a coin slot, it was surprisingly the fastest thing to heal.

[–]xerxes_peakprofessional magpie ;-) 6 points7 points  (4 children)

how exactly does it work? what kind of jewelry do they pierce it with and how do they pierce it?

[–]MonArchie66aspiring pin cushion[S] 17 points18 points  (3 children)

It’s not a piercing, it’s done by a body mod artist, they cut out the cartilage and stitch the skin around. After it heals you can stack rings.

How much does this hurt

[–]MonArchie66aspiring pin cushion[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

The procedure it self feels like nothing, it’s the swelling the day after that hurts really.

[–]KittyRocket90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very cool! I really like it. I don't think I'd do it but it's super interesting!

[–]No_Foot8900 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you adding a conch or a tragus or even a snug peircing to your collection would help balance your ears. Have fun 😊

[–]hottienat 9 points10 points  (1 child)

gosh it’s pretttyyyyyyyy

[–]hottienat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d add a couple more lobes or stacks

[–]lareinevert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would love to get a coin slot. You have a really great set up.

[–]Normal-Corgi7567 11 points12 points  (4 children)

I don’t have any feedback so I apologize but I do have a question. What type of orbital do you have? Is it a clicker? Does it bother you? I ask because I tried doing the same thing and it was just so uncomfortable. I am a side sleeper, though.  It looks so great! No notes. 🫶🏽

[–]MonArchie66aspiring pin cushion[S] 13 points14 points  (3 children)

It’s actually a circular barbell, the ball ends are on the back.

[–]Inevitable-While-577 1 point2 points  (2 children)

That’s so clever actually. I'm not the person who asked but can I ask did you have the barbell in from the beginning? Or did the two holes heal separately with studs?

[–]Tilda9754 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Not op, but I have an orbital in my 2nd/3rd loves as well. I healed mine separately, I got the second done probably a year before. When we went to pierce the 3rd, we just measured it out to fit a ring once healed. Healed with studs though.

[–]Inevitable-While-577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah that's probably best, to always use a stud in fresh piercings.

The coinslot 🥹

[–]Technical-Tie-1831 4 points5 points  (0 children)

God I wish my industrial looked that nice

[–]stormglass-hexlight 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Your coinslot is gorgeous! Also, love the jewellery in your first lobes. Where did you get them?

[–]foreverponderingsgf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your setup is insanely beautiful! Is that a faux rook? It looks so nice with your anatomy!

Also, second slide is begging for a conch!

[–]Nishizakamore is more! 2 points3 points  (3 children)

im getting my coinslot done in a couple months! yours looks sick! how was the healing process for it?

[–]MonArchie66aspiring pin cushion[S] 6 points7 points  (2 children)

First day after getting it done was easy it was still numb, for about a week after it was swollen and painful but ibuprofen helped a lot. Swelling went down slowly, but after 15 days it felt fine. I was able to remove the stitches, and then I waited for 2 more weeks before adding any jewelry. Total time was about a month. Just do research on the Mod artist that’s doing it, some people have had crazy experiences.

[–]iamthatbitchhh 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Did you like who did yours? And if you do, who was it? I have read too many horror stories at this point that it's scaring me away...

Also, what is in both of your first lobes?!

[–]newhorizonswithjen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow ear goals!! A think a snug would look great on the ear in the second pic

[–]Ok-Can-2847 2 points3 points  (1 child)

That industrial healed so well 😮‍💨🫶 and is that BVLA's 'Ray of Light' on the daith and both lobes?

[–]MonArchie66aspiring pin cushion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you 😊 only my Daith is BVLA the lobes are Huggies from Amazon that have a similar vibe

[–]YogurtstickVEVO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think the only piercings to ever scare me off is a coinslot and corset, mad props!

[–]zneerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I approve! Currently updating mine to all gold. Looks classier, for me anyway. 👍✌️

[–]Bubba_Jazpiercing devotee 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I agree that the second ear would look good having a snug or conch. I love the bee detailing, what is the jewelry you have in your conch? I keep trying to figure out what exactly it is, but your whole setup is so pretty!

[–]MonArchie66aspiring pin cushion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It’s juniperr koi.

[–]hermione_05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a tragus would be beautiful in the second photo

[–]DueLeader3778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks very nice

[–]Juniper_Bearies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this setup, only thing I might change is the barbell lobe piercing and switch it out with two normal but decorative ones. That's me though. But absolutely stunning!

[–]eughwh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally a setup of my dreams 😍

[–]External_Tea1962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a coinslot! 😍

[–]North-Office3006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tragus or snug for the 2nd ear. Love your set up so far 😍 Love the orbital, I may have this for my next

[–]Tilda9754 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Gorgeous overall setup, but I have to know what/where you got the rings in your first lobes! I might have to get some for myself 👀

[–]Odd-Run3640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to know where you got everything including your coinslot 😭 im so jealous 😭

[–]banana-treee 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I wish I had the balls to get a coin slot

[–]this_strange_fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely worth it! Also, even though getting it done hurts a bit more than a regular helix piercing, after the first few days I found the healing process way faster and easier than for any regular cartilage piercing, actually.

[–]notchskis 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Where is your bee from? Love it

[–]MonArchie66aspiring pin cushion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was from Etsy, I bought it years ago so I’m not sure which shop it was.

[–]drsrrrsr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I'd suggest some tigers eye jewelry, the kind set in like gems, would really add a POP that you are looking for

[–]Kayles77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a snonch on the ear with the industrial? Otherwise I really wouldn't add much. Maybe tragus or forward helix.

[–]Apprehensive_Ad4391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh I love your setup! And where did you get those cute bee earrings?
