    2) those earrings are so pretty
    3) i have the cartilage piercings and I have been in the same situation as you, took forever to heal, I've had it for 3 years now and it has been infected for like 2, just last year I changed the piercing to a loop and I didn't touch it at all, used a cortison cream and desinfected it twice a day for the whole year, and now it has finally healed properly, all's good!
    4) you made me want to get a conch piercing 😂

  • @alymae1618

    I love all the piercings you have. I get really excited talking about them too. I have 3 sets of lobe piercings like you, helix piercing, industrial & rook. The industrial & rook piercings are my favourite because I think they look really cool & someone actually told me that not all ears are made to have an industrial piercing plus it is kind of "bold" to have it since some people find it painful or it looks scary :p

  • @megalopolis2015
    @megalopolis2015 6 років тому

    Super cute. You are lovely. The piercings are great. Those geometric lobe earrings really are awesome.The nose ring was one of the prettiest I've seen. I love how subtle it is. I am going to hopefully get my left tragus done soon. I am a bit freaked about it, as I am spooked by needles and such (even though I pierced my own ears three times out of the six piercings I have), but I think I'll have fun with it once it's healed up in a year or so. Thank you for sharing.

  • @frogcocks1702
    @frogcocks1702 6 років тому +22

    Tbh, my tragus was the least painful piercing I’ve gotten. I have two forward helix, helix, 3 lobes and the tragus was the least painful. I didn’t feel it at all and it healed COMPLETELY in 3 months. I don’t think your piercer did it correctly

    • @airishinden1186
      @airishinden1186 3 роки тому

    Anyway, I got a helix pierced last year and I'm about to get my conch and second helix done, all on my right ear. Also on the right ear I got 3 lobes and I'm so excited for my new piercings! I also maybe want a rook, but I'm not quite sure yet, maybe next year. Everytime I get like a new piercing or I find something that I find pretty I get so excited and I have to get it done xD But I just completely fell in love with them

    I got my first two holes pierced at Afterthoughts. A little bit over a year apart from each other back in 1994 and 1995. My 3rd piercing at Claire’s on back Friday 1998 and a few months later my cartilage pierced in late May 1999. My most resent piercing is an industrial on my right ear back in late September 2019. That was done by a needle. I was a little nervous about getting it done. I can handle the little pain for it. Just a little pinch a couple times. No big deal since now that I have 9 piercings.

    My helix piercing has been such a hassle to heal! I got hypertrophic scarring that has been over months been disappearing and sometimes is still sore and I've had it for a year in a week lol! I don't think I'll ever get another helix because it has been a constant worry really and I regret how much work it was but I admit I love the way it looks and don't plan on taking it out.

      Amelia Landry I have up to my 3rds on my lobes. After that, I got my rook done. I love my piercings but it does have "good days" and "bad days". The piercing didn't hurt much, it was the beginning healing that hurt the most. It wasn't unbearable though. It is more of a mild uncomfortable feeling (unless someone hits it on accident, you hit it on accident, or it's irritated from being touched too much). I don't regret it, I plan on getting my conch next

    @Roszalief 4 роки тому

    I have a helix and I have no problems with it. I got it over 20 years ago. Remember the long healing process. I also had a bump at the back of my ear. I think I did not keep it clean enough. I took it at years ago and opened it in November last year. It took some time healing again. When I started properly cleaning the piercing it healed very quickly. It is very important that the stud is max 6mm , when it is longer it irritates more, with a barbell at the end or a flat end. No butterfly closing!. Or wear a small ring.

    I love your nose ring! That's actually exactly what I'm looking into as well. May I ask what size the ring is in terms of diameter? I know you mentioned it's a 20 gauge size and that's referring to the thickness of the hoop. I have a small nose so I want my ring to be close to the nose like yours. Thanks very much!

    • @sandylin
      @sandylin  7 років тому +5

      i just checked and my nose ring is actually 24 gauge, my mistake! and it's 1/4" diameter but it really depends on your nose too! you can try buying a set of different sized nose rings from claire's to test out to find your size. you can also try asking your piercer! the good ones i've seen will look at it for 10 sec and tell me exactly what i need. hope this helps and good luck! i just put a link to the etsy shop i custom-ordered from in the descript box if you need it :)

    I have almost the same piercings as you and in the same placement, that's really interesting. i am having difficulties with my conch and I've had it for over a year, was just wondering what you did if you had any difficulties with any healing process and what you did to make your piercings heal better. Also, I used to have a tragus piercing and I loved it when I got it but it rejected even though I followed my piercer's instruction to the T :( just wanted to ask what type of jewellery your piercer used for your tragus because I think my piercer gave me the wrong type. I am considering getting my tragus redone ^^

    • @sandylin
      @sandylin  7 років тому

      thank you so much! ^_^ for both my conch and tragus, i did have some trouble with it. it would get itchy and red. idk if that would be considered infected or not but it definitely wasn't good. my tragus actually had one of those bumps develop at one point. i think my ears may be less sensitive b/c i wasn't very good at cleaning it everyday. but any time the piercing would get uncomfortable, i would clean it w/ hand soap and soak it in warm sea salt water 1-2 times a day for a few days. is that what your piercer advised as well? i used 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt in 1 cup of water. i know some piercers suggest using a spray but i find soaking it in that mixture helps the most. my piercer used stainless steel jewelry. i hope this helps and you can get the piercing that you want!

      i'm sorry i'm not sure what size they are :( but if you go to a piercer they should be able to tell you your size right away!

      thank you! i cant remember.. it's just the most basic gauge that's used for most ear piercings. i want to say 16g but i'm not sure!

    love your piercings! very interesting, my rook piercings hurt the most and it never healed so i had to take it out. My tragus did actually hurt the least :D i really want to get a double helix or/and a conch piercing, but i don't know if i can deal with the healing process.. i want to get rings in all of them, do you know why you should not get rings in them when you first pierce them?

    • @sandylin
      @sandylin  7 років тому +1

      the healing process is such a pain! i'm so impatient so i know what you mean! i was told by my piercers that when you get a stud, rather than a ring, it helps to speed up the healing process. the stud is usually longer giving your ear space in case it starts to swell. with a ring, it could get really tight and uncomfortable if it swells too much, which irritates it further. i've heard though that if a piercer is really skilled/experienced, they have no problem giving you a ring b/c they are confident in their abilities. i think it really just depends on the piercer! i wanted to play it safe and just got a stud each time!

    • @hermione1135

      Generally speaking, the reason you shouldn’t pierce with a hoop is because of the irritation it causes due to movement. Hoops are always prone to spinning and getting caught on stuff, whereas studs are a little more secure. Jewelry choice is not about the skill level of your piercer, it’s about whether or not your body will be able to heal it with a hoop vs. have an easier time with a stud. The only piercing that should really be done with a hoop is a daith, because it’s inside your ear and pretty protected from movement. Good luck!

BUT what I like about YOU is that you get to the point, you're honest, you're kind seeming, and I appreciate that! My septum had me with that single tear but not my nostril xD And my conch, that HURT. I want the rook SO bad but it looks so painful T-T

      @sandylin  7 років тому

      i got it at body jewelz (a piercing chain) but i wouldnt recommend going there again. you can find them at your local piercing shop though! i also left a link to an etsy store in the description box that custom-makes a ring for you

  • @abbiegrier207
    @abbiegrier207 6 років тому

    I looove your earrings and placements! I really want to get my flat pierced, or somewhere on my cartilage, but do you recommend it? Since I want my flat done I would get a stud and just keep it like that. I already have lobe piercings, but is the soreness of the cartilage really that bothersome, or shall I just do it? I know everyone reacts different to piercings and pain, but I would love your input! Thank you for making this video and sharing your thoughts and info!

    • @bethlewis7968
      @bethlewis7968 6 років тому

      Abbie Grier I was going to get my flat done (it's called outer conch where I am) but ended up getting my conch. For me the healing is going great it's only been 2 days and it doesn't hurt only when I knock the bar it kills but it's over in a couple seconds. It's not that bothersome for me but my helix was a lot more. A flat isn't as close to the edge of your ear so it won't probably get knocked too much. Just don't worry about it and if you want it, get it! Just make sure you clean it everyday with a mug of warm water with a pinch of sea salt

    I got my cartilage pierced two years ago and sadly it closed up. It REFUSED to heal no matter how much I took care of it. Maybe I was irritated by the stainless steel? :o Have you ever had an experience like that?

    • @sandylin
      @sandylin  7 років тому

      that's so sad! :( i haven't met anyone who's allergic to stainless steel but it could be? i've heard a common theme among cartilage piercings though... theyre the most stubborn when it comes to healing!

    I've heard rook piercings, aside from snug piercings, are the most difficult to heal. A lot of the piercers I've met recommend doing a "faux rook" piercing instead, if you're really wanting a rook piercing.
    Some good places to get jewelry from online are bodyartforms.com, and then various piercing shops have online stores to sell fancy jewelry like BVLA or Anatometal. Hope that helps!!

    Yes you need to pierce with studs, yes you may want a ring but in order for it to heal properly you need a stud for controlled movement. Rings rotate and can bring in bacteria into the piercings. A good check to make sure your piercer is legit is by asking if you could get it pierced with a hoop or ring and if they says yes... they probably don’t know what they’re doing.

    Quick question about your nose ring! I have one as well, but I’ve stuck to the 18 gauge for both ring and stud. My question is, because you went down to a 20 gauge ring - is it impossible for you to go back to the larger gauges? I love the way a stud looks at 18 gauge but not how the ring looks. Is a 20 gauge stud very small/not noticeable?

    • @sandylin
      @sandylin  5 років тому +1

      ever since i got the 20g ring, i've never changed it so i havent faced that issue! but i think it would be hard to go back up bc the hole would get smaller over time? my ring is pretty thin. sometimes people dont notice that it's there. i've never tried a 20g stud however!

  • @loopyfrog

    I love my conch - it heals a lot easier than helix, which is weird coz they're both cartlidge

    • @bethlewis7968
      @bethlewis7968 6 років тому +1

      Loopy Land ikr I've had both done and ended up taking my helix out after a year because it never healed right and I slept on it and wasn't told to downsize. My conch which I got two days ago is so easy! Doesn't even bother me whatsoever I can wear earphones painlessly already

    • @loopyfrog
