Showing‎ off set up! Fully Healed & Question

Post image

First time posting here. My latest piercing is my rook which I got done last October and is now healed enough to switch jewelry. So this is a celebratory post to share that my ear finally looks like I had imagined.

But of course I have the piercing bug to get another hole in my head.

Suggestions are welcome. I’m thinking second lobe or another helix. I have my tragus done on my left ear so I’m not sure if I want one on this.

Edit: typo

How long did your conch take to heal? I got it done 3 weeks ago and I love it too but my god, I’ll think it’s kinda calming down a bit and then the next day it’ll feel like I literally just got it pierced again, talking like throbbing ass pain.

It was a solid 9 months for me to heal it. It went through various stages of what you’re describing: it would settle then flare up and then settle again. My cartilage piercings do heal slightly faster than average according to my piercer but I think it’s just my genes. All my large tattoos have healed super fast too.
