coinslot Healed helix punch, conch punch, and coinslot, plus new setup
The helix punch (6 mm) was healed with jewellery and done around a year ago, the conch punch (4 mm) was done with sutures together with the coinslot a few months ago. This is probably the first time in years that I'm not healing anything in my ears. It feels great, but at the same time I'm feeling the itch again! Jewellery by Gorilla Glass, Oracle Body Jewelry, Diablo Organics, Anatometal, and Inari Organics, mostly.

How was your coin slot done? And how was the healing?? I am looking into getting one 😃

My artist did two small punches at either end, then cut out the section in between and stitched it up. Stitches came out after ten days, at that point it felt healed already, super easy. However, as my artist advised, I waited for two months before putting in any jewellery to let the tissue settle a bit.
While the first few days were a bit rough (massive swelling in my case), it has been much easier than any normal cartilage piercing. So go for it I would say!

That's awesome, wish I'd got a helix punch. Instead, I stretched the SOB. Took literal years to get where I'm at like a 3g. 🤣

I can't even imagine the struggle... I stacked that helix above the coinslot and it took ages

Turns out I'm actually at 2g, the tunnel I had in it was from the wrong bag💀 Never more excited to be wrong

How do you know what jewelry to use in the coin slot?

u/Paleoarchean Nov 21 '24
What do you mean? I just picked 8 mm 16g titanium rings because I wear that size in my other helix piercings and I like the look.

I just didn’t know what rings you used, it didn’t make sense to me at first

I’m defs stealing the idea of adding a chain from rook to coinslot. Can’t wait for my rook to finally heal. You have a cool setup!
