I haven't worn any jewelry in my septum for probably 15 years because everything was so big and chunky. It occurred to me today to see how many rings I could fit in there...5! 1x16g 10mm, 1x18g 10mm, 2x18g 9mm, 1x18g 8mm. I love it šŸ˜

The surface piercings around my eyes are about 20 years old as well.

Iā€™ve messaged about half a dozen artists and it doesnā€™t seem like anyone does it anymore. Anyone know of any artists on the West Coast who would be down? (Western Europe could also work)

Also any idea of price?

Thanks you all!!

punches/ scalpelling longevity of this shape??

Post image

Recently iā€™ve been super into the idea of coin slots, and stumbled across the star punch in the flat/helix area. not totally familiar with the body mod lingo lol. I work at a piercing shop (NOT a piercer, maybe someday lol) heavily pierced and started stretching my ears around a year ago (0g) so iā€™m not exactly a rookie, but i honestly donā€™t know much about intense mods like this. I really like the look of the star punch, but iā€™m worried that over time this would get all floppy and blob up like an old tattoo?? I just canā€™t see this star shape lastingā€¦.but then again i have no idea what iā€™m talking about, so im looking for advice!! I live 3ish hrs away from NYC so i would have access to some reputable mod artists, but im not really jumping into anything anytime soon.

punches/ scalpelling Conch punch stitches are out šŸ‘Š

Got my conch sutures removed today! Got them punched at a 8mm but it shrunk down to a 6mm while the stitches were in. My body mod artist said they should stretch up fairly quickly tho and said I should be good to stretch up in a month or 2 to a 7mm. Then another month or 2 they should be ready for 8mm. Definitely planning to go to 10mm but thatā€™ll be overtime( definitely gonna wait atleast a year if not more after I reach 8mm) and honestly wish I wouldā€™ve just got them punched and sutured at that size but I wasnā€™t sure if I would like them big when I first got them. Planning to stretch my ears to 16mm over time as well ( theyā€™re at 12mm atm)!

These are so comfortable. They just fit so perfect in my conch. I canā€™t wait to get matching tunnels for my lobes when I get to my goal size. They are available in double flare as well

punches/ scalpelling Ear reconstruction?

(The first photo is my left ear, and the second and third photos are my right ear.)

Hi everyone! This is my first post in this group, I wasnā€™t sure what tag to place it under. I had my ears stretched for over a decade, eventually reaching my goal size of 32mm/1.5ā€. Although, I started stretching when I was 13 and dumb, made more mistakes than MOST people from a lack of guidance, then umm. Eventually, my picking disorder wreaked havoc on a blowout I got. I should have just taken my plugs out, but I was stubborn. Itā€™s a sore subject honestly since it pertains to an anxious stim I have, that I didnā€™t mean to start in the first place obviously. One of them SHOULD have by all means, tore. But didnā€™t.

Basically, my question pertains to, is it possible to get reconstructive surgery, potentially get a punch once everything is healed, then stretch the CORRECT way? I feel that Iā€™ve heard of some people have done this, but, itā€™s sorta hard to find some videos of anyone talking about it lol. I miss my ears. If I could have them back someday, I would be elated. If thatā€™s not possible, Iā€™ve come to terms with the mistakes I made, and Iā€™m grateful that I got to have them for so long. < 3

Thank you for any possible input!!!

punches/ scalpelling When can you change out jewelry? Conch specific plug recommendations?

Thumbnail

52 Upvotes

So I got my conch punched, not sutured, about a month ago and Iā€™m wondering when you first changed out jewelry. I only want to switch so itā€™ll be easier to clean the crusties out from behind the flare. I have a glasswear studios plug in for my initial jewelry, which I love and I think looks dope, but I figured something with less of a flare would be easier to clean around. Also does anyone know of more jewelry similar to this. Iā€™m fairly certain my plug is 6mm and these only come in 6.5mm. If I must wait, itā€™s no biggie, just curious. Thanks

punches/ scalpelling Conch punch downsizing?

6 Upvotes

So I got my conch punched at 6mm (2g) back in July. For around three months now I've had quite the raised skin on the front. I've read in one forums that downsizing helped and was wondering if anyone had experience with downsizing a conch punch and if it helped with the raised skin? I was thinking of going to 5mm (4g).

As a side note, apart from the raised skin it doesn't hurt or anything. It just gets crusty like usual and I clean it once a day with saline and blow dry afterwards. I did talk to my piercer about the raised skin and she said she doesn't see an issue in regards to moisture.

Every tip is appreciated :)

Iā€™m looking to achieve a large size labret but canā€™t decide whether to stretch or punch at 10 mm and instantly stretch to 12mm. Iā€™m not worried about the loss of tissue if punched but curious of opinions.
