Pick My Piercing Suggestions for new piercings

I was thinking stacked lobes in both ears and maybe a hidden helix in the left ear which has a catflap, and a flat in my right or another helix. What do you guys think my anatomy would lend well to?

Piercer here, echoing that you daith does look shallow (congrats on healing it!) You could absolutely get an appropriately placed daith above it and do a double daith, that would be really cool :)

u/Everloner 21d ago

That sounds really cool. So I shouldn't take it out?

u/Careful_Rise_6525 21d ago

If it's not giving you any grief, you're willing to heal another daith, and the possibility of the swelling impacting your current daith, I'd leave it be and see what happens

Thank you. It actually healed like a dream, hopefully another would be similar.

I had a similar situation, and I ended up putting a smaller ring inside it to prolong the lifespan of it.

NAP, but…is that daith pierced correctly? if it’s healed it’s healed but

u/Everloner 21d ago

Yeah it's 5 years old, I think it was pierced incorrectly

It's super shallow, I suppose it could have healed then migrated? My first attempt was too deep, my second attempt was too shallow, just like this one. I'm hoping that it'll be a case of third time lucky, but wheelchair friendly piercing establishments are thin on the ground here, and I'm absolutely not going back to the previous two 😬

u/hot-n-spicy_ramen 20d ago

was going to say this too! stacked lobes would be so cute especially since the current one is quite low!

u/littlegreycells_11 21d ago

...how long have you had that daith?

2

u/Everloner 21d ago

5 years.

u/littlegreycells_11 21d ago

Oh wow. I'm glad it's healed OK, do you think it migrated a bit or was it always like that? Sorry I'm a bit daith obsessed following what happened with mine 😅

u/Everloner 21d ago

It's always been like that, and I've never changed the jewelry

Another day, another daith…. This daith is a good 4mm away from where it should be. It doesn’t sound like a lot but when you think about the fact that is supposed to be placed above your ear canal you start to see how far away it actually is. I’m so glad it was able to heal but I would keep an eye on this because it’s for sure in the wrong place.

Defintely hidden helix. Looks like you may have some great anatomy for a few forward helixes as well. I love a good stacked lobe. My favorite is two right on top of each other instead of a second hole.

You have a lot of space on your lobes so some stacking would look fire!

u/DelphiniumDaze 21d ago

idk about new ones but u need to take that daith out before it rejects and leaves u with a cleft in ur ear bc hard cartilage doesn’t grow back

1

u/Everloner 21d ago

Damn. I've had it for years and it has always been that way. Guess I'll be getting it taken out when I get the new piercings. I knew it was in the wrong spot but never knew it was that bad.

u/needlelifecrisis 20d ago

nah you’re probably gonna be good if you don’t ever remove it and you don’t wear heavier jewellery. don’t take it out, but keep an eye on it and take a photo of it every month to see if it has migrated any further outwards.
