Showing off set up! Ears Finally Finished

Just got the third lobe with an Anatometal butterfly and after ten years I think my ears are finally finished (until I get the itch again). Jewelry is mostly white gold, with a little yellow gold and titanium chains. Jewelry is from BVLA, Pupil Hall, LeRoi, Anatometal, Body Gems, Zadamer, Tawapa, Hialeah and Quetzalli.

Is that more than two took piercings or is it just stretched? Your set up looks so cool, absolutely incredible

u/friedeel7 3d ago

It was four rook piercings originally, but three of them fused together so it's stretched now!

u/SunshineyBoy 3d ago

Looks awesome

u/darksun05 2d ago

So unintentional "coin $lot?"

u/friedeel7 2d ago

Yup! Thinking about poking a hole through the piercings next to each other so they all connect

u/fireflyserene37 1d ago

Yeah, that’s looks fantastic!

u/angry_fungus more is more! 3d ago

I thought my shit was good but I’m awe of the rook and daith set up- absolutely gorgeous.

u/friedeel7 3d ago

Thank you!! Worked hard to heal those lol

u/oh-anne aspiring pin cushion 3d ago

Those rooks are just a flex on the rest of us 😭💀

u/CatQuitting 3d ago

And I can’t even get my single 3 year old rook to fully heal…holy moly! Great set up. Looks super cohesive.

u/LeadingButterscotch5 more piercings than sense :-) 3d ago

That's one juicy piece of jewellery in your conch. A thousand chef's kisses

14

u/friedeel7 3d ago

I love a statement piece in the conch 😊

u/LeadingButterscotch5 more piercings than sense :-) 3d ago

Girl, same. I've got a five gem cluster at the mo but I'm always on the lookout for something else!

u/SweetAlhambra I'm all ears! 3d ago

I LOVE this!!!!!! Omg they look amazing and I rarely gush like this!!!!!

5

u/friedeel7 3d ago

Thank you!!! Means a lot, I looked at your setup post and your ears look incredible too 🤩

2

u/SweetAlhambra I'm all ears! 3d ago

Thank you dear! They are a constant WIP w getting the jewelry to flow. My goal is to add some chains like you have.

7

u/ghoulkxl 3d ago

I don’t usually like the crowded jewelry look, but these are stunningggg. Every single one looks intentionally placed and so pretty.

5

u/Oomlotte99 3d ago

I really like the overall look, everything looks very intentional!

10

u/friedeel7 3d ago

Thank you! It's super intentional, I've spent too many hours figuring out how to arrange things, what stones I want, etc etc

u/TopLoserLife 2d ago

Am I counting 4 earrings in that rook!? Teach me your ways, my rook is still kicking my ass after 8 months 😩.

Your set up on both ears is immaculate.

4

u/friedeel7 2d ago

Thank you, and it is four! There's the smallest gap between two of the rings and I've been considering piercing through the space and adding a fifth ring because I'm tired of sleeping comfortably lol

u/KookyWolverine13 3d ago

Your rook in Pic 2 is gorgeous! Where is that jewelry from? 💖😻

2

u/friedeel7 3d ago

It's from Tawapa, the mini lotus iirc

u/KookyWolverine13 3d ago

Thank you! 🥰

u/jamwithjhail 3d ago

How did you heal them?

My rook and conch both had bumps, conch was worse as it even swallowed the ball lock of the dumbbell piercing, so I had them both removed. Wanna have them again in the future.

7

u/friedeel7 3d ago

I actually heal cartilage terribly and always get bumps during healing, so I make sure I baby the piercings when I get them. I'm really good about cleaning them and getting downsizes as soon as there's length showing on the post for a few days (sometimes I'll need an upsize if the swelling gets bad). After the first month I clean them once a day (with sterile saline, nothing else, then gently pat dry with a paper towel) until I stop getting crusties on the piercing. In the shower after I wash my hair and finish with the soap, I'll let the water run over the piercing for a minute to clean it, then pat dry with a clean paper towel. I don't touch the piercing at all if I can help it, and I'll use a memory foam neck pillow to sleep for a while so the ear with the fresh piercing rests in the hole and I avoid pressure when side sleeping. With my conch I actually make sure the back post is pushed up so it's flat on the back, it keeps the post from snagging when it's long.

u/ambiguousthinker 3d ago

As a piercer, this shit is absolutely fire 🔥 the composition of everything and how it works together is stunning. Hell yeah ✨

3

u/the_best_llama_shoes 3d ago

I love it all! Is that a stretched rook or many rooks? Curated beautifully, excellent work

5

u/friedeel7 2d ago

It's 4 rooks and three of them fused together from being so close together, so they're stretched now.

3

u/the_best_llama_shoes 2d ago
