here is before at 16g.

I'm also obsessed with outer conch large gauge piercings- I think they are so awesome!  whattya think?  I was playing around w/ a little sticker at 0 gauge. 

and here is after- this is today.  they are swollen a bit and kindof numbish feeling, but they are looking good.

I didn't realize my lobes were so dry from the sss's (and weather) until I looked at these super macro shots.  eek"

and here is me :)

i just noticed the second pic is my left ear, but by looking at the pic it looks like my right ear.  i took the pic in the mirror.

oh and sorry abou thte icky bathroom lighting- I hate that.  I can try to get better ones tomorrow in the sunlight if anyone wants.  And the "whattya think" in the title is "whattya think about the outer conch punch idea??"  I htink they look AWESOME when healed and bare.

 Hey Amy, it looks great, congratulations! You're a cutie, hehe!

My left ear is probably about 1/4" lower than my righ ear, so that makes my piercing look lower.  I bet ti's just me t hough- i doubt people will be staring right at me going "left. right. left. right.left. right."  lol  and I think the piercing could be higher, but he did w hat he could with what he was working with.  I think all in all, they are pretty cute.

awww! yay amy! I think they look supremely cute!!! & yes, I vote entirely for the cartillage punch!!!!!!! :D & those color fronts rock!

YAY! and they are beautiful He did a good job on evening them out too

I like the "punch" too it looks great 

Ohhh, I really like the way the punch looks on you!

Congrats, looks awesome! I think the punch would be fabulous with matching colorfronts.  

thanks gals!  I love them.  today is day 3 and they are still looking great, no signs of infection or anything.  they have a healing itch to them, and do seem to still be a little bit swollen and kindof numbish.  anybody know what I mean??   and I think I will do the outer conch thing-  I think it'd be so cute.  I think they are awesome when healed, and I dind't even know about htem until I came here to baf to find out about stretching.  I was clueless. 

do y'all think it is too low to stretch to a half?  my piercing was always low, and it seems those w/ the piercing perfectly centered woudl have the most luck stretching.  *dont worry, wont be doing any of that for a looong time :) *

 I think you could make it.... But if you EVER feel like they are thinning there is always downsizing therapy (with the oil massages) to thicken them up :)

Yeah, I also definitely think you can make it. You have a lot of lobe to work with. :) 

 They look really cute ^_^
