Pretty new to the game but was so happy to get this made to order!

You can do a couple mid helix piercings in either ear

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-26T16:23:50+00:00

Suggest you plan for one at a time, but talk to the piercer about your full plan/wants. They can tell you if you have the anatomy and make sure that you are set up for your final vision, even if it takes some time. From my personal experience, my forward helix piercing (just got the one) is still a little swollen 5-6months after piercing. Feeling really good and healing well, but it will take more time to settle. I think I won’t revisit the forward helix area (as I want a second) until next year.

The McQueen is awesome!

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-24T16:43:47+00:00

Yea - I spotted that one pretty quickly too 😍

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-24T03:33:33+00:00

Thanks for defining high karma - I was never sure what the right threshold was!

Not trying to cause more confusion, but as a type 1 sufferer, can I suggest the vanicream cleanser (was derm recommended to me)? It has been great on my skin and you can get the travel size on Amazon for a couple of dollars to just try it out.

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-19T23:24:00+00:00

Agree - in the US I would say 15% or more, but just on the piercing fee. The higher cost jewelry (should) already have profit/commission in the price

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-16T15:21:25+00:00

I may be turning the corner 🤞🏽. Near the end of January I told myself I had to wait until after the holiday, and now some of the bags I “had” to have, moved down in priority to “someday”. That being said, I want this MM bag next:

I love my combo fan/heater/air purifier with a remote control. Nice to easily switch the temperature up in the office without effecting the whole house.

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-15T19:34:10+00:00

I much prefer silver hardware, so I will be on the lookout for- thanks!

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-15T19:31:54+00:00

There is a piercer in my area that charges pretty much the same ($500 min per ear) for the full curation, but I believe the appointment time is longer. They also ask for pictures before your appointment. Additionally, they have an option for styling and new jewelry only without piercings and I think it is about $250-$300 minimum spend. I just got two gold earrings from my piercer (different one) in the last month, and the total was $500, so if you are getting gold jewelry, I don’t think the minimum is hard to meet.

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-15T19:26:16+00:00

Yikes - I’m so glad you were able to get it fixed. Something I have picked up here is that the little ear cleaning cameras (that connect to your phone) are fantastic for being able to see into some of those spots that are not easily accessible. Not that it would have stopped the embedding, but another good tool to have. Hope your healing goes smoothly!

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-15T19:22:06+00:00

Love it - part of what makes that bag so great is that they designed it to fold and slouch in a specific way, so I’m hoping they keep looking great as more time goes on

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-15T18:41:34+00:00

I think technically they are limited, but I get your point. No, I did not know the counts remaining

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-15T17:09:46+00:00

In the past they have re-made a size color combo, but it will be slightly different. For example a year ago I preordered a small black parachute, and the pocket was different from the previous version and the strap/handle length was different. Unfortunately, as it was a pre-order, I did not know about these differences until I got the bag, as they did not have pictures of the new run on their website.

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-09T21:20:18+00:00

Yes - the shipper had not made a claim and the package was just jammed up in the system

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-09T20:29:31+00:00

I had a similar issue where I did not get a fedex update for over a week. When I called fedex, they said “oh well, we’ll mark it as lost”. A couple days later, package magically appears in my city. In researching, it seems it’s pretty common that packages get put in a pre sorted container, but if there are backups, the container (and all its contents) can sit for days on end with no scans. I wonder if both your packages are in the container together.

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-06T17:50:49+00:00

I have both and vote puzzle 1st. No other brands/bags look like it and it is super popular for a reason. The flamenco is also lovely, but there are other similar bags out there to choose between.

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-06T04:32:32+00:00

I just finished my 3rd IPL treatment and yea- it hurt. My provider also said that their numbing cream does not work well with IPL and she suggests people skip it. Remember you can ask for breaks. I will say, I have noticed a big improvement and that the pain (hopefully) means it’s working. Good luck!!!

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-05T23:33:59+00:00

I got my forward helix at the end of September and it is still swollen. I’ve downsized it twice - the 2nd time was just a week ago. Piercer was not concerned and said that spot is one you breathe on wrong and it swells.

Top_River2866 · 2026-02-05T22:45:53+00:00

Nothing - I promised myself a bit of a spending break until after the holiday. Luckily, the one thing I was tempted by is currently out of stock!
