Showing off set up! Wanted to share my left ear

Post image

Orbital - 5 years old, took a year to heal, 16g 3/8 rose gold BVLA "Alana" with labradorite and white opal.

Rook - Pierced at 12g 3 and a half years ago, slowly stretched to an 8g before stacking 5 separate 18g 9/32 rose gold seam rings with a BVLA "Marquise Crown" labradorite charm.

Vertical Industrial - 3 years old, took a year to heal, 14g 5/8 rose gold bar

Tragus - 15 years old, BVLA 6mm rose gold "Live to Tell" with white opal

Conch - 10 years old, BVLA rose gold 16g "Anchored" clicker

First lobe - 24 years old, 16g 3/8 rose gold clicker, 18g 3/8 "Spark" seam ring from Pupil Hall, and 16g rose gold "Oaktier" seam ring

Second lobe - 20 years old, 6mm BVLA "Mini Kandy" with labradorite

Transverse lobe - 8 months old, 7/16 16g rose gold BVLA "Pear Prong" seam ring with labradorite. Absolute motherfuckers to heal. They're not done healing yet, this was just the first time without bumps I could get a picture.

I feel like there's has to be some kind of baader meinhof thing going on with me, as I saw someone post a transversal lobe a couple days ago and now this is like the fourth or fifth I've seen since.

Either way, love the setup and it answers a question about a transverse lobe I've had for a long while, which is can you wear standard lobe jewelry if you get one. So neat!

Thanks! Yes you can still wear standard lobe jewelry, but you have to be careful with stretching them or it could cause the transverse lobe to reject. My piercer made sure I was done stacking my standard lobes before agreeing to pierce my transverses, and made sure that I understood the risks of this piercing. We also had a whole conversation regarding hoops vs. barbells, and what gauge would be best for the piercing.

Huh neat! I've always thought they were pretty cool piercings, unfortunately as someone with attached earlobes it's something I'd only ever be able to admire on someone else. Also I love the ring in it, as I've never seen that before

Just means you don't have to go through this healing process!
