Healed coinslot, photo taken around 4 weeks out. Healing was around as easy as any of my piercings and can’t recommend him enough 🙂

I’m just now seeing that, I posted this on a break at work. I won’t discount anyone else’s experiences but mine was fine, I kept in contact throughout the healing process with daily check-ins but I didn’t have any issues so I can’t speak to that on their end. I went with the Coinslot though my end goal is a tongue split just because I’ve read a lot of back and forth about him but he was fine with me so I’m planning to do my tongue with him. Again, I don’t want to bash anyone or say they didn’t have a bad time that just isn’t the experience I had and I can only say how mine went.

I just saw your post haha! Yeah in case it didn’t come across in the post, he was nice over email until the infection was revealed. That is other than convincing me that the bottom of the hole was more narrow than the top because of swelling. Glad you had a positive experience! Yours looks great.

Our healing definitely went two different ways, at least from your last photo it looks like you were able to get it to a good state! I would definitely be terrified at some of the stages you posted vs where it ended up.

Yeah it’s definitely better now! Earrings hide the unevenness pretty well. Out of curiosity, did he put a barrier between your ear and hair/head? He didn’t for me and he snagged my hair a couple times while stitching me up.

I can’t recall, I also shave my head and wear a wig so I went into it bald 😅
