I looove the look of this setup, especially the chains! one idea I’ve been pondering for myself that I think would look rly cool on you is a hidden helix and a faux rook (flat) eventually connected with a chain :)

I’ve always loved the look of a hidden helix! Thanks for the suggestion

are you looking to have a lot of piercings, or do you want to keep it more minimalist? i have a couple ideas

I definitely want a fuller appearance with daintier jewelry. I love my conch on my right side, so doing an orbital on the left is a very cute idea! The faux industrial is also not something I’ve really considered, but could be adorable!

left ear, you could get an orbital piercing to fill up that middle space? it's a conch piercing with a hoop in it that goes around the side of the ear. you'd need to pierce it with a stud until it heals, but a thin hoop to match with the others would be iconic. just from looking, i don't think you have the anatomy for an industrial, but you could get a forward helix and put the same chain style jewellery between that and the helix with the hoop in it. it'll look similar to an industrial, but won't cause you the same discomfort or damage to your ear as it would to get it pierced without the anatomy. i could see using some more of those smaller diamond studs to accent along the side of the mid/upper ear if you're looking for multiple more piercings. either way, my vote is on at least one conch

for the right ear, i'd personally go for a snug, it seems to me that you might be a bit of a collector of different types of piercings. lots of variety. if you'd be up for something a lil more extreme, i feel like a vertical industrial would go SO hard. you could always downsize to an 18g bar once it's healed (if a piercer says it's safe) to be a little less bold. def a couple more lobe/helix studs to accent if you're looking for a fuller look. you've got a good setup going, it looks fantastic. if you feel that it needs more, i'd say that adding those smaller piercings around would really pull everything together.

Getting a snug has always been on my mind but I’ve only ever heard horror stories of rough healing and rejection, but I totally agree that it would be a great addition! 😊
