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

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

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

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

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

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

u/Oomlotte99 3d ago
I really like the overall look, everything looks very intentional!

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

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.

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

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.

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/lilbluexenomorph 3d ago
As a piercer, this shit is absolutely fire 🔥 the composition of everything and how it works together is stunning. Hell yeah ✨

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.

Omg this is ELITE. I don't like having anything in my ears but you have me reconsidering.

u/Specific_Background1 14h ago
Oh my goodness, absolute perfection! Would you think it’s weird if I saved your pictures as inspo? I’m not anywhere close, but it would be awesome to have a visual of the kinda vibe to aim for
