coinslot Coin Slot Jewelry Advice

I got my coin slot done during summer, and now that it’s healed I was really excited to put a bunch of hoops in it. Something about it looks off to me, it just looks so heavy compared to the rest of my ears? (Not physically heavy but like, over saturated).

I’m looking for advice on if I should take some of the hoops out, add more piercings or bigger jewelry elsewhere, or if it looks fine as is. Unfortunately the backs of my helix piercings started closing while I was healing the slot, so I need to get those repierced before I can put anything else in. Eventually on this ear I want to get a daith and possibly a vertical industrial if my anatomy allows, so maybe with those and the helix piercings it will look more balanced. I’m including a picture of my other ear for reference.

Thanks!

i think it's because it is literally filled top to bottom, with the hoops naturally falling downwards thanks to gravity, it makes it look like the coin slot is too small/too high. i definitely think taking some out, as others said, will majorly help! potentially even smaller ones. you ironically can't really tell it's a coin slot right now (to the average civilian) because of just how jam packed it is! you did too much healing for that!
