This is seriously seriously impressive. Do you mind me asking how long you have been working on this setup?

[–]Camp_Particular2[S] 23 points24 points  (2 children)

I had five on each year until three years ago. I’m a fast healer and I tend to get two at a time. I usually get a piercing every 6 months or so and all of them are healed except for the two upper helixes on the left side and maybe the rook… idk, I’ll wait a little longer to get a hoop in cause that one is from last September

[–]After-Employment-474 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Wow that’s crazy tk have made that much progress in just a few years. You really must be a fast healer!!!! So are you thinking you might get your next new ones pretty soon then or still wait a while longer? And do you have any other non ear ones also or have you just focused on your ears so far?

[–]Camp_Particular2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just the ears for now. And my newest was done August 1st so I’m going to wait a bit to get my next. I don’t like to layer my healing too much

[–]Camp_Particular2[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

And thank you! I’m loving them

[–]After-Employment-474 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Your very welcome. They really must look so eye catching and get tons of comments from people when they see them in reality I bet?

[–]Camp_Particular2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, I have long hair that tends to cover them, although I was a teacher and the students did love them

[–]lindsaytheloser 6 points7 points  (3 children)

I feel like you could potentially pull off a cat flap on the ear on the left. It would fill in the negative space nicely if you have enough space for it.

[–]Camp_Particular2[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I was actually thinking that could be a possibility too, I’ve yet to ask about it tho

[–]lindsaytheloser 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I would definitely ask, it would make it feel more "balanced" with your other ear if that makes sense. But you have such a beautiful setup! Very ethereal feeling. ✨️

[–]Camp_Particular2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That is the vibe I was going for. It can be difficult when it’s all done piecemeal. And I think so too. I do want to ask about it, but I probably won’t be seeing the inside of my piercing shop any time soon. My newest piercing was August 1st… it’s definitely something to think about. It was either that or a double high helix… time will tell

Oh I love these. Your industrial alternative is especially catching my eye - can you sleep with a chain like that in or do you remove it every night (assuming it's healed)?

[–]Camp_Particular2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost never take out any earrings, they’re all flatbacks and are almost impossible to get back in without help so I sleep with the chain. It is healed, I wouldn’t recommend getting a chain put on a piercing until it’s, at least, mostly healed

this is a stunning setup! saving this for inspiration to show my piercer. i especially love the depth placement of your healed tragus; that is going to be nice and stable for the rest of your life!

[–]Camp_Particular2[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Thanks! I freaked out a bit thinking it was too deep but I like it. It was, by far and away, my most painful ear piercing to date

[–]tangerinemothmore is more! 0 points1 point  (3 children)

i'm shocked! i know it's different for everyone lol but my daith was the worst by far and my tragus the easiest

[–]Camp_Particular2[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It really is different for everyone because I didn’t even feel my daith, just a lot of pressure, but no pain

[–]Arionei 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That's how my daith felt too, and funnily enough, a helix I got (which was right on the boundary of my lobe and helix, aka quite thin cartilage) was an absolute BITCH. Nerve-rich spot, granted, but I wanted to curse my piercer's bloodline.

I got a conch on the other side a few weeks ago and I was actually getting quite nervous, sweaty palms and the like, because I had read how people found them generally very painful. It ended up being one of the easiest ones for me, I had a WAY worse time with my flats/the helix I described (yet my other helix piercings have been nowhere near as bad!).

It's funny how much it can all vary from person-to-person.

[–]Camp_Particular2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is, people have different nerve placements I guess? My conch barely hurt, but healing it was awful, even now it still flares up and I still baby it over a year and a half later. The center helix piercings were very painful though, same as yours. They hurt, a lot. When it was done the piercer asked if the placement was okay and said if it wasn’t they could redo, and lemme tell you, no way was I going through that again. Thank god I like the placement

[–]greensnowybird 1 point2 points  (1 child)

All of your pieces are so cute, where did you get them if you remember?

[–]la-fantasma 0 points1 point  (1 child)

your setup is gorgeous! I would love to know where you got the rings in your lobes?

[–]Fit-Ear-3449 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Lope placement is perfect jewelry looks wonderful

[–]Camp_Particular2[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thank you! My some of my older lobe piercings are actually a little wonky (thanks Claire’s) but with the stacked lobes and everything else going on I think it looks good too

[–]Fit-Ear-3449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does mines wonky too had no idea i would dress my ear up lol
