Okay, so I’ve been thinking about getting some new ear piercings for a while now, and I finally decided to go for it! I wanted something a little different, something that would really stand out. That’s when I stumbled upon the idea of constellation piercings. Basically, it’s like creating a mini galaxy on your ear using multiple piercings.
The Prep
First things first, I started by looking at my current ear situation. I already had my lobes pierced and a helix on my right ear, so I needed to figure out what would complement them. I spent hours scrolling through pictures online, getting inspired by different constellation patterns. It’s like, each ear is a tiny canvas, and you get to decide what masterpiece you want to paint on it.
The Plan
After a lot of back and forth, I decided to go for a simple, yet elegant design on my left ear. It’s like, you don’t want to overdo it, you know? I picked out three tiny studs to form a small triangle constellation. It’s pretty subtle, but I think it looks really cool. It’s kind of like having a secret starry night just for me.
The Process
I made an appointment with this piercer I found on social media, whose portfolio looked amazing. When I got there, we discussed the placement of each stud. He marked the spots with a surgical pen, and we made a few adjustments until I was happy with how it looked. This part took a while, to be honest, because I wanted to make sure everything was perfect.
- We started with the bottom piercing, closest to my existing lobe piercing.
- Then, we moved on to the top one, which was the trickiest because it’s closer to the cartilage.
- Finally, we did the middle one, completing the triangle.
The actual piercing part was quick, but let me tell you, it wasn’t a walk in the park. Especially that top one, ouch! But hey, no pain, no gain, right?
The Aftermath
After the piercings were done, my ear was a bit red and swollen, which is totally normal. The piercer gave me some aftercare instructions, like cleaning it with saline solution twice a day and avoiding touching it. I followed his advice religiously because, you know, you don’t want any infections.
It’s been a few weeks now, and I’m absolutely loving my new constellation piercings! They’re healing nicely, and they look even better than I imagined. It’s like I have a little piece of the night sky with me all the time. Every time I look in the mirror, I can’t help but smile. It was totally worth the effort and the little bit of pain.
