curated ear piercings update and Q&A | inspiroue

[@gabrielarodriguez3929]

As a professional piercer over here getting multiple piercings at once it’s not recommended really think about your healing process bc everyone’s is different as well. Usually over 2 piercings on cartilage at the same time is too much trauma to the area which will cause it to take longer to heal and terrible swelling. So definitely think if for you it takes longer to heal than normal before getting multiple piercings on cartilage. :)

[@dob8636]

I know it's been quite a long time since you've commented this, but do you recommend getting 1 cartilage and 1 lobe piercing on both ears at the same time? Or do you think i should just wait for one to heal before i do another?

[@spammyspammy5958]

@@dob8636 I got my cartilage one-two weeks after getting my second lobe. I reccomend that as it allows for slightly more healing time for the lobes before getting the ear done again.

[@sandaaay]

Surprisingly, conch was my least painful piercing! I would say its even less painful than just my earlobes

[@inspiroue]

Oh no way!! You rockstar haha x

[@frannypie.]

mine really wasn't that bad too!! i got a conch, rook, and 4th lobe (stacked over my second) done the other day and the conch hurt the least and the lobe almost sucked as much as the rook haha

[@davichg816]

I’m happy to see your ear evolution and see how it turned out! Funny thing is I was browsing YT 2-3 years ago to find info about conch piercing and found one of your first ear piercings videos. I just loved how dainty your ear piercings were and it convinced me to take the plunge back then ☺️ so ty!

[@isas8627]

So excited to see this vid... I’ve been following ur piercing journey since the beginning 🤩

[@inspiroue]

Aw yay!! It's been SUCH a journey haha 💛

[@dreesebrownlee6]

Yesss me too!!!

[@Prankzterstarr]

I have been thinking of getting rook piercing done. It’s been 2 years of thinking about it but never got it done. I was dreading the healing process. Conch is my favorite so far!

[@inspiroue]

Rook piercings are so cute you should totally!! Healing is not that bad but it is annoying in terms of sleeping. And yess love a good conch x

[@Lilli626]

Same!! I got piercings so I was accessorised 24/7 and don't have to bother switching it up much. Glad to hear you anti tragus is doing better! Cartilage piercings are a real bitch! 😆

[@inspiroue]

Yess 'accessorised 24/7' is the best way to put it! 😍 haha omg tell me about it x

[@jupiter-ns4ss]

your anti tragus looks much better, i'm happy for you 😊 My anti tragus healed perfectly I only had one bump but in a week it is gone, this piercing takes to long to heal.

[@inspiroue]

Right!! Thankfully lol it was so bad for so long! So jealous of your experience! Mine still has a bump half the time but it's getting better recently!

[@megalopolis2015]

You have a calming presence. You seem very nice. I prefer small, dainty studs and hoops in most of my piercings, too. I also like the asymmetry. If you want a lower cartilage piercing, it would be fine to keep the higher one, too. Maybe have a hoop in one, and a stud in the other. That's how I usually have my second lobes. One quick note is that keloids aren't traditional piercing bumps. Bumps can be treated with cleaning, temporary use of tea tree oil, etc., while keloids are usually based on a predisposition with the pierced individual, and it requires surgery to remove. For more information, I recommend speaking with professional piercers. Local is best, obviously, but that's not always possible. Either way, piercers such as DaVo from the Axiom in Iowa, or dermatologists, such as Dr. Sandra Lee (AKA Dr. Pimple Popper), both of whom have very informative and entertaining KZbin channels, will help immensely.

[@itzmekimie]

Tattoos are thing, but recently gotten into piercings 😆. I recently got my second lobe piercings. Just binge watched all your piercing videos and now I'm thinking of getting more lol. I've been so into the minimal curated ear look lately.

[@Sara-eb8fo]

Your ears look so cool! Now I definitely want to get more piercings!

[@inspiroue]

Thank you!! haha x

[@claudettenicolesarraga4879]

Whenever I wanna pierce my ears I always watch you piercing related vids😂 wish you could curate mine💓🙏🏻☺️

[@inspiroue]

Haha awww thank you!! What piercings do you have right now? x

[@staciii]

It's crazy how your piercer allowed you to get a hoop for your conch first since most piercers recommend you to not do it since it can cause a keloid

[@inspiroue]

I know right lol my fault for going to a cheap 2 for 1 piercing day near my university back then llmao

[@86excellent]

Omg i went to perfect image in waterloo too and got my tragus pierced. It got badly swollen and i had to remove it in less than a week of getting it done. I went to Decan at wonderland studios in kitchner 2 weeks ago and he pierced my other tragus and its healing fine so far. He is very knowledgeable and thorough, takes his time.

[@jeezlouiz]

Eyyy finally someone who knows about bluboho, just bought my stacking rings off there, love em

[@iluvblueberrymuffin]

It’s so cool how you’re familiar with the waterloo area too! I always pass by perfect image and even though it does look pretty sus, thank you for the heads up lol. I’m getting my conch tomorrow and I’m kind of nervous!

[@inspiroue]

Omg how did your conch go!! Lol ya no bueno never again (I went when I was in like second year uni which says a lot 😂)

[@kellycurti4488]

me and my cheloid are loving the video

[@inspiroue]

haha love you x

[@Daniela-2208]

Hi I love how minimal and dainty your piercings look. What gauge do you have for each/all of your piercings? I’m thinking of downsizing mine just because 16G is pretty thick but that’s what size needle has been used for my helix, conch & tragus piercings

[@ria7330]

i am so inspired by your content. i want to get some piercing and I don't know where to start and here this is.

[@elo5612]

Omg me too !!! I want another piercing but there is so many that I don’t know which one to choose !! 😭

[@nickyodujirin]

I was supposed to get my conch and flat done earlier this year, but then COVID happened. I would love to do them now but because of the masks I’ve put it on hold. I’m not too keen on having infected ears because of wearing a mask all the time. I really love the way your ears look! Every piercing suits you.

[@inspiroue]

Yaa the mask situation is definitely not ideal especially for outer ear piercings lol -- smart idea to wait!! And thank you!! x

[@cookiesincreme123]

I got my conch done last week, I was worried about my mask too, you can use a holder so that the straps won’t touch the piercing

[@kandidkai]

Yesss!!! Another piercing update video 🥰🥰🥰🥰 love your vids!

[@inspiroue]

Woooo thanks gal 💛

[@riannatripp6594]

Love this video!! I have 3 lobe piercings 1 mid ear helix and a tragus in my left ear and 3 lobe piercing on my right ear. I would really appreciate suggestions on what piercings I should get next. I love the gold dainty curated look.

[@randomtoasty]

What about a rook? Got mine done a month ago and I love it! Just a suggestion though :)

[@inspiroue]

ugh yess to mid ear helix!! that's what I want haha and 100% with this rook suggestion - they are super cute! or even a daith on your right ear! x

[@riannatripp6594]

inspiroue yes that’s what I was thinking thank you sm

[@zoeclarke8521]

Really love this video, your piercings are awesome! wish you could curate my ear piercings lol

Thank you!!! I can't wait to get more (after face masks aren't necessary anymore so like in two-three years? lol) x

[@zoeclarke8521]

@@inspiroue agreed, I have a triple lobe on both ears and I’m itching for more & lol hopefully

[@fizaawan7797]

so happy to see this video!!

[@elo5612]

I want another piercing but there is so many that I don’t know which one to choose !! 😭Like I want a low helix (I saw the video that you did and it makes me want one too), maybe a tragus. But I can’t choose !!!! 😢

[@inspiroue]

Do both!? Hahaha

[@jadeashlee9664]

How do you get the anti tragus submerged in water? I’m having a hard time with mine haha It’s healing fine, just trying to do the sea salt soak is difficult

[@inspiroue]

I just put my whole ear into a mug hahaha

[@YaraMel]

Doing them all at once is a great tip! Loving the aesthetics of the ears 😍

[@cche16]

what was the pain level for rook? you never said in the video and i may get it one day and what size are the hoops from etsy? ty!

Love your piercing videos! I have my lobes, helix, rook, and nostril. Desperately wanting my tragus and 2nd lobes but I'm breastfeeding so it'll have to wait until my girl weans!

[@inspiroue]

Ouu nose piercings are so aesthetic!! And smart haha will be worth the wait x

[@malyasha7659]

What's wrong with getting piercings and breastfeeding at the same time?

[@LauraHerchel]

@@malyasha7659 A lot of piercers won't see somehow who's breastfeeding, I think it's an insurance issue mostly. There doesn't seem to be a lot of science proving that it isn't safe though.

[@malyasha7659]

@@LauraHerchel Oh ok. I definitely see why a woman wouldn't get a nipple piercing while breastfeeding, but I wasn't sure about other piercings. Thanks for your answer

i really want to do tragus piercing but what if it gets infected

[@MsNanny97]

40 dollars??? Are u kidding? here in Italy the prices usually range between 60 to 80-90 euros for a piercing. I'm deffo coming to Canada to get pierced now ahah

[@inspiroue]

haha I was shocked too - I’m in a smaller city now so maybe that’s why! My toronto piercings were like $55-95 I think 😂😂

[@Selvatice_]

You don't need to go so far. In the Netherlands its approx. 35-40 euros 😅

[@haileypike9161]

hi, person from newfoundland here. mine were all $35 ($40.25 including taxes) each and my industrial was $50 ($57.50 including taxes)

[@lipsxblossom]

Where is the earring you are wearing from? i loveee thoseee

[@inspiroue]

The face ones!! Haha bought from @artisanaldesignco (they’re made in galt idk what the brand is but she stocks them!)

[@Maria-se9tl]

I live in New York and I was shocked to find out that after getting conch piercing that i would have to go back and pay to get a smaller post. When you went to your jeweller did you change the post or the entire earring and buy *new* earrings

[@inspiroue]

Ya was shocked at first too haha but makes sense - especially because my ears do swell up a lot 😂 depended on which piercing (only swapped to shorter studs for my tragus and conch)

[@apseudonym]

how is that shocking? titanium posts cost money. they're not going to give you a labret back for free lmao

[@Maria-se9tl]

@@apseudonym I was shocked because I didn’t know that after paying $800 for my piercings, I would be coming back to pay again. The place never told me that it would cost money. Anyways I found someone else to do it for much less than $150 which my place was going to charge. Cheers

[@pettypeaches820]

im planning to get my tragus pierced, do u have any tips? or anyone else have any tips hehee

[@inspiroue]

When I first got it pierced I got a super long post (backing) so I definitely couldn't wear headphones while it was healing. Other than that just sea salt soaks (after initial healing I also cleaned the area with a qtip + saline solution) and it was super easy!! x

[@lilianasemedo6251]

You are so beautiful. Love your curated ear 🥰

Aw thank you so much!! x

[@frannypie.]

omggg i just got a rook and conch the other day how did you know!! lol

[@inspiroue]

haha wait no way craziest timing!!! how are they doin x

[@frannypie.]

i really recommend this saline spray from etsy: it's called mudscuppers! you should try it out on the antitragus because it's very healing :)

[@frannypie.]

@@inspiroue i can't even feel them!! i love them so much haha i can't wait to change the jewelry. my piercer said to wait til halloween so im just ITCHING to switch out to gold!!! i think the spray has been hella helpful in getting them on the right track :)

How did the rook piercing ago? Pain scale?

[@juliescheibe6586]

There are amazing Etsy jewelers. That person who made those earrings in your last video was awful! I can refer you to some great one for the piercings you have that you can keep in all the time without irritation that are super smooth.

[@inspiroue]

Ohhhh I'd love to know which ones!! x
