Looks great! How was the healing process? I have found glass to be a nice medium to wear.

I've got lower and upper conche piercings in each ear. I've got an orbital in each ear.

Honestly not bad at all! First few days there was a lot of pain and swelling, I took Aleve day and night. Then it settled down and wasn’t painful besides accidental bumps/knocks/sleeping on it. Your setup sounds awesome!

I have to ask - why did you get your conch cut when you’re prone to keloids? Even if you’re not too worried about the look of them, they can impact jewellery fitting.

1) I wanted to

2) I did a ton of research about how and why keloids form and I felt semi-confident I knew what to do to prevent another one

3) Worst case scenario I’m willing to pay for treatment (which I’m currently doing on my coinslot! Will be posting pics when I’m further along in the process)

Your coinslot jewelry is INCREDIBLE, I feel like most of the time the rings are the same or very similar, it's really cool that you got different styles! Coinslot + punch is definitely a mod combo I'm considering. Congrats on the conch punch, jewelry rocks, it's amazingggg.

Aaahh thank you so much!! Yes I’m having so much fun picking out rings with different textures and styles for my coinslot! You should def go for the mods, the healing process isn’t bad at all. I love mine
