I’ve had my nose ring for over a decade and it’s the only facial piercing that really stuck with me, used to also have a septum but took it out after a couple of years due to keloids, + it just felt too bulky for my nose. Also had a labret under the bottom lip when I was a teenager but it was placed too low and I was annoyed that I couldn’t wear a ring in it.

Fast forward to now I just suddenly got an urge to get more stuff done, and specifically like the combo of bottom labret (placed properly) and Medusa, as well as eyebrow on the opposite side of the nose ring for visual balance. I uploaded my face (1st pic) to chat gpt and asked to generate how I’d look with these piercings and I really like how they all look together (2nd pic) 😭 What do y’all think?

I’m really tempted to just get all 3 done at once so I don’t have to go through the healing process multiple times, but I have a few concerns.

1. Worried it won’t look good irl because ofc AI image is not fully accurate (I know the eyebrow placement is weird af there lol), curious about your opinions.

2. What’s the healing like for eyebrow - I tend to sleep on my right side so it’s gonna be tough not to press it into the pillow each night. For those who took it out, did it leave a big scar? Kinda worried in case I get bored of it or don’t like it.

3. Healing experiences / timelines with Medusa? I’m a diver and going on a trip in 2 months. Concerned that the mask might not fully seal to my face with it. Would I be able to take the jewellery out for a few hours a day by then, or at least switch to the shorter labret. Google says 6-8 weeks which would be ideal, but want to hear some real experiences. I don’t remember exact healing time for my bottom lip but feel like it was quite fast.

4. Any downsides of getting 2-3 piercings at once? I kinda want to get it over and done with as long as it’s not too much stress on the body. If I were to start with either just eyebrow or bottom+top lip combo, which one would you recommend?

I want to get more piercing and I’m thinking a conch on my right ear but not sure what else I should get😔😔 if yall could comment what else you think would look good (on either ear) that would be very much appreciated!!

Got my lobes done a few weeks ago and i like em. What are yall’s thoughts in a second one? Would it fit my ears? Also would getting 2 on each ear look better or just 2 on one ear and leave the other ear with just 1 piercing? Also any other suggestions would be cool!

Hello everyone (:

I am debating on getting a forward helix, mid helix, a rook and a conch on my left ear! Do you think I have room for a rook? Would it be too crowded? Do you have any suggestions?

(Along with 4 more lobe piercings on bilateral ears)

My right ear is what I am having trouble deciding what else I want too(besides 4 more lobe piercings) because another piercer pierced a regular helix instead of a hidden helix(hence why I got a hidden helix on the left ear by a better piercer), so I placed the dangle stud in and it fits the area better… but it altered what i pictured for that ear with my ear piercing combos.

I would like some help deciding! I am debating a snug on my right ear as well as a mid helix. I’m open to suggestions!

Side note.. it’s been over 3 months and my lobes aren’t healed (with the studs in) but I am going to replacing the studs with hoops when my lobes are fully healed.

So both of my lobes will have 3 hoops and two stack studs on each ear.
