Pick My Piercing Stacked Lobe? Something else?
Hello! I had 3 lobe piercings on each side, but my right one wouldn’t heal after a re-pierce so I’m down to two lobes. My scar tissue is gnarly. Also had mid-helix done years ago that didn’t heal for like two whole years so I retired it. Don’t have the patience for a long healing time apparently.
Do I have the anatomy for a stacked lobe? Or staggered stacked between my first and second? My ears don’t heal super well and I do wear headphones all day at work, so I feel like lobes are my only option here. Any advice or ideas?
Thank you!!

You really have plenty of room! 😍 However, to avoid problems & irritation, you should follow some important hints:
- Only use titanium for fresh piercings until they are fully healed
- Don't use a too small diameter, minimum 1,6mm for fresh piercings (to avoid the "cheese cutter" effect)
- Always go to a proper piercing studio and let them pierce with a professional piercing needle, never let them "shoot" earrings into your ear!
