show me your cartilage piercings!

[sunny05]

i’m planning a curated ear and hoping to get a daith and helix piercing soon, i’d love to see your cartilage piercings and how you style them!

I have several cartilage piercings! Everything is in rose gold as a color that blends in with my skin.

My right ear has three helixes, a forward helix, a faux rook, and a conch. I plan to get a sideways eternity hoop in better quality for the forward helix eventually. Unfortunately the little teardrop is turned here, I recommend getting things that look the same at all orientations so you don't have this issue.

My left ear has a daith and a flat. I'm probably going to upgrade the daith to a Maria Tash opal and diamond piece.

oooh great tip—do you find your marquise fan piece gets misaligned often as well? i’d like to put a diamond fan in my conch!

no, somehow that fan stays in place better! I have very thin ears, especially out where the triple helix piercings are, which might contribute to why the helix piece turns more. I can't get a threadless post to be snug there because they don't come short enough. I expect a conch would behave better because of the thicker cartilage and that it's in an area that wouldn't get knocked around as much.

Just took a shower so thought I would share a 'clean' ear pic
