anybody want to share about their body mods? i’m speaking broadly, including any piercings or tattoos. current, planned, or retired, i’d love to hear about them!

for me, i just have a couple facial piercings and one pair of lobe piercings. i’m starting to stretch my lobes and it’s very exciting! one of my ears needed a couple extra weeks to go up to a measly 14g, so i’m ready to be really, really patient.

    I have first lobes on both ears and since last month a helix/flat on my right! I am quite sensitive to nickel so for most of my life, I tried having earrings but always reacted badly. I didn’t get my lobes properly done at a piercer until 2021 and them using titanium helped. My right lobe is still finicky but we’re working on it.

      Hope Im doing this right (reddit refugee, hello everybody). Best of luck with your healing!
      Titanium took a while to arrive where I live so I got to see all of the friends that thought they couldn’t get piercings suddenly being able to rock new piercings. Wish you all the best!

        Thanks! I’m actually going to swap it out for a Buddha Jewelry Mini Valentina when I downsize. That piece wasn’t in stock when I got the piercing so I’ve been wearing this Industrial Strength Marquise Fan in the meantime. Now the question is what I’ll do with the piece… Maybe a second lobe? Or get another one and wear them in my first lobes. Decisions, decisions!
