Though please tell me the scar on your tragus isn't from having had a piercing ripped out, cause that's what it looks like :/

Painful stuff. At least, it looks it.

to be honest, the tragus coming out didn't hurt. as you can see from the before shot, the tragus and conch were joined, and the conch just levered the tragus out over time. I do miss that piercing, but it's given me an excuse to stretch the conch, so I'm ok with it

it's not ticking, but it's an actual mechanism yeah. it's 20mm

nope, not at all. the original piercing in my lobe was done at 2.4mm (was kinda funny because I heard the needle go through my lobe

), and gradually stretched over about 6 months. The only problem is it's made me want to stretch all my piercings!

Sic do you ever think this " does that women like me or does she just want to know the time " lol

I really want a conch to tragus.
How much do you think it would cost for that?
Also, is it better to get it done one at a time or have them both together and connected?
Cheers

I can imagine if it was ticking you'd end up insane

Ah 20mm is possibly to far for my liking, i'm at a measly 6mm and keep telling myself i'll stop at 8mm but i can see it going further :rolleyes:

i have 2 x 10mm in my left ear
i love stretches, i really want to stretch them some more - but i'm afraid of splitting my earlobe!
and yes, it's so addictive, it's hard to look in the mirror and say 'no, enough is enough!'

any pics of that? i've only seen small doubles or flares is it? and yeah its very addictive for some reason, even so with just piercings. When i had my eye done i was thinking about getting the other side done as well but told myself not to bother

its a year old picture (i've got 2 more cartilage piercing in that ear since it was taken) but the pic on rogues gallery has my ear 'freshly stretched' and still swollen
it looks a lot better now
i usually wear straight plugs or tunnels with o rings on, or squishy silicon tunnels - as the flared or rimmed ones don't sit well together (they push my lobe in odd directions)
in my other ear, i have 3 lobe piercing (though i only usually wear 1) and a helix to conch industrial (which i usually just wear 2 short bars through, because of work.

i am a big fan of the lop sided look
i wouldn't stretch my other lobe

Dreadi · 14 Oct 2007 at 13:58

That spiral in the gallery picture looks pretty fat yeah.
Ah, i lose. i only have lobe at 6mm, top of my ear (can't remember the name for it, standard piercing), lip on the left and my anti on the right. I think society has put me off doing to much considering the hassle i got with my hair and all

It cost me £35 including 2 barbells (you DEFINITELY don't want to connect them until both piercings have healed), but expect to pay up to £50 (we knew the piercer!).

I'm not sure I would recommend getting one though - mine were lined up really well, and the tragus still got pulled out - it was more upsetting than physically painful. I think it really depends on the shape of your tragus and conch and how well they line up together anyway - I have quite a small tragus

helix?

Dreadi · 14 Oct 2007 at 14:25

He's right, it's your helix.
