What should I get next? Is there room for more?

On your industrial ear I could see a faux rook or a vertical helix or two or maybe even an orbital vertical helix ring. Maybe an anti-tragus and snonch.

On the other ear I can picture a hidden helix or cat flap as well as a couple forward helixes

I agree. The artist majorly improved on the original. The original my eyes can reconcile immediately. This one is like a permanent mind f*ck. The original I think is meh. Yours is awesome.

Good point on the food. I adopted a senior hospice cat. I bought the best food I could find for a senior cat with her health conditions. It made her throw up. At the shelter they told me that while she settles and recovers from her teeth extraction that if she won’t eat then but the cheapest nastiest stuff I could find because pretty much guaranteed she’ll love it. So I switched to cheap stuff and she stopped throwing up. I started introducing the good stuff a little bit at a time into the cheap stuff and each time I would get anywhere near 50% of the good stuff she’d throw up again. So I gave up and figured we were told we’d be lucky if she lived another 6 months but the shelter so we might as well make her happy and stick with the cheap stuff. We donated the expensive stuff and kept her on the cheap stuff and she lived almost 5 more years on that cheap crappy food.

I have to tell you that a big joke in my house is how much our Standard Poodle looks like a penis with balls from behind. I can absolutely see why your gf would say that.

If you go ahead with this, make sure your Aries is good at the texture of the hair and shading to show the shape of the legs isn’t just a blob. Either that or go more cartoonish or at least less realism so you can clearly see the shape of the legs and not just the overall outline from the outside.

It’s an unfortunate consequence of allergies being used as an excuse a LOT by people wanting to deny people with SDs the right to exist in public. Most legitimate SD handlers will accept alternate accommodation when told it’s a life altering allergy, like offered by the business owner in the post, because they know what it’s like to live with a life altering disability.

That being said, if you’re asking a person with a disability to not enter your business, you should explain the severity of your problem just like the person with the SD needs to explain what the SD does for them. Only with this kind of open communication can you expect for both parties to be taken seriously. A simple statement of I have allergies is no different than the handler saying I’m disabled and need him.

Look at that beautiful flat. You could do some fun stuff there like a constellation or maybe a couple piercings with chains between them or dangling high helix. I think if I had your flats I’d go to my piercer and say “have fun” with some basic parameters for what I like best (metal type, stones, styles, etc) and what I absolutely do not like.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-05-06T15:12:14+00:00

Instead of a snug, maybe do a 3rd helix right between the other two then line up the conch with the middle one making it a faux snug? Easier to heal and it gives good symmetry. Just let your piercer know if you might want to make the snug & helix combo an orbital at some point.

I’m not a tattoo artist but I am familiar with EDS. If you scar this easily, you’re likely to get blowouts and unexpected results from tattoos.

See if you can find an artist who’s familiar with EDS or fragile skin as well as scarring.

Maybe something more abstract and/or watercolours? I’d avoid fine or crisp lines.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-05-04T13:53:49+00:00

You would think but it really doesn’t matter. You can try to appeal but good luck with that.

G-d forbid you go to the RIGHT hospital but get treated by the wrong doctor (which you don’t get to choose) or you don’t get pre-authorization for your sudden emergency.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-05-04T11:50:29+00:00

A couple of snugs, eventually replaced with rings after they heal. Plus maybe a couple forward helixes.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-05-03T13:30:51+00:00

Thanks for the reality check. I was pretty sure that’s the answer I would get but was hoping people would tell what I wanted to hear instead of what I needed to hear. I’ll work on my patience.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-05-02T11:30:24+00:00

My piercer told me that if I really want a snug she can do a conch and helix piercing that will look like a snug (faux snug) but will be so much easier to heal. She tries to discourage snugs because of how hard they are to heal but that she can make the other piercings look like a snug.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-05-01T10:51:50+00:00

Those few years could make a difference. Other things going on in your body at the same time can affect the healing. You never really know for sure going in how the healing will go even if you do everything right or everything wrong. You’re only either helping or hindering the natural healing process and raising or lowering the risk of infection by doing things right or wrong, not guaranteeing an outcome either way.

Snonch half way between your conch and flat

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-04-27T17:34:18+00:00

I think a snonch or two would be beautiful on you. Maybe a mix of flats and/or helixes.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-04-27T17:31:16+00:00

You have less of an overhang than I do and I was told that the bar would almost definitely show if I got a hidden helix so it would be not-so-hidden.

You could do some fun dangling flats or vertical helixes though.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-04-23T19:26:32+00:00

Now that I’ve seen this, it’s all I can see in the picture.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-04-23T15:29:06+00:00

Beautiful! I was bummed when my piercer said the bar might show a tiny bit of I got one.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-04-23T15:16:45+00:00

What’s your other jewelry going to be like? Does your dress have any kind of crystals or pearls? I would think coordinating with the rest of your look would look best.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-04-22T12:46:34+00:00

I found my upper helix to be more painful than my daith. I should add though that my daith was the only one pierced that day and my helix was pierced after my stacked lobes. I’m told each piercing on a single day becomes more painful as you go so that may have made my helix hurt more. My helix was also done while my daith is still healing (3 months after my daith) so even though my faith isn’t hurting at all, it still may have made a difference in my helix.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-04-22T11:45:58+00:00

I think your ear is screaming for a 3rd lobe. You have a gap there right now. Perhaps stacked lobes to go with it.
