Got a few more bars in my ear.
2nd from left is about a month old and still a little swollen on the inside. Another month and it should be fully healed.
2nd from right was fresh the day I took the pic.
Bars are 1.6 x 10mm at the moment to allow for any swelling etc. Give a couple more months and they'll be shortened to 6mm. Smaller balls on the inside and probably black cones on the outside. Not sure whether to keep the scaffold or swap it for short bars. Only one way to find out I guess.
By the time all of those have healed - probably January sometime as I keep sleeping on that side, I'm going to try and work out how to get one last bar around the back. Spaced the same as the others. The issue is the cartilage or lack of in that area. I think I'll see if I can get a curved bar so that it goes through the cartilage then still shows out the back. I'll work something out with the piercer, she knows what I'm after.
