Awesome, I was thinking of getting this too, but I'm also having a second plug above my first and can't decide just how much **** I want in one ear

Needs pics

Ditto! You should be able to put a single bar in there in about 5 or 6 weeks when it's reasonably well healed. I had one in from the start though.

scaffolding looks to easy to rip out and cause serious harm hehe

Nah. It goes through the cartilage so its actually very tough. Only going to get ripped out really if you seriously yank it, more chance of pulling out a normal piercing tbh.

oh right, well yeah not too keen on piercings myself. but seems a lot of people getting scaffolding recently

Had to google image ear scaffolding to check it's what I thought it was, not too sure on the 3rd image containing a mouse that popped up mind

Had to do same thing, wasnt sure what it was. They look cool tho, had all mine removed now but did have this in my ear:

which was followed by this, tho everyone has these now a days.

Damn you.

Got my Industrial done over a year ago, took ages to heal properly, was pierced straight away with the bar.

Did the person pierce one side, remove and put the first bar in, then the next one, or do them both at once, remove and put the bars in?

I've been meaning to get a scaffold for years

Damn my yuppie job!

Ta-da!

The guy pierced both holes then put the bars in.
He said that the top one bled a lot so it took a while for him to clean it up and get it in, then clean it up.

Was in there for about 10-15 mins i would say?

i *love* scaffold piercings

but from previous experience i can almost certainally tell you that you will struggle to get a 'straight' scaffold through there
look at the angles of the two smaller bars - they dont align!
they may well do when they're healed tho - look after them and don't remove the bars too soon!!

I *had* one of these (vertical industrial) until the top 'hole' healed up during an operation.
I love the lower conch percing tho, it's probably my favourite!

Mucky_Pup · 25 Apr 2009 at 11:15

I'll agree with that, you migth strugle to get a full bar to fit comfortabley now. I don't understand why he would have done that, looks ok to have put the bar in straight away.

Andypandy333 · 25 Apr 2009 at 14:57

I'm liking the look of that
