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!
