    Conchs punched!

     I have 0g black colorfronts in my ears as of like 2 hours ago! wooo Big Smile

    Got punched at 2g, and stretched straight to 0g Indifferent wasn't the most comfortable thing ever lol. the left one was first, and seemed to be a little nicer, I was actually kinda surprised when he said he was done too, nice and quick Smile. My right one tho he kinda needed to give it an extra shove when puching, and the taper goin through did make my legs curl up a bit haha

     And no, I didn't eat the chunks that got cut out Stick out tongue

    pics when I'm back home lol

    2g lobes, 2g conches, 4g septum, 8g labret, 12g left tragus, 14g right tragus, 14g right eyebrow, 10g 'halfadravya'

    One day: 1/2" lobes, 0g conches, 12g right tragus... maybe more

    Re: Conchs punched!

    I look foreward to seeing pics. How are they feeling? Mine has been pretty pain free ever since 3 hours after it was done, except for a little bit when I was sick last week.

    I'll never understand the reasoning for tapering after a punch, but congratulations! Can't wait to see the picture(s).

    Re: Conchs punched!

    They taper after a punch in order to stop the bleeding, usually on larger gague punches, or people whose punches bleed a lot.

    Congrats, Rodger!

    Pirateships, I always thought this was counter-intuitive to healing and the entire reason why a large gauge needle is usually avoided. Unless that excess pressure is relieved after a few days, it's going to impede healing in the same manner. This is why most piercers will recommend a downsize two sizes or so to about the original size of the punch to ease the stress on the tissue.

    I'm a slight perfectionist, though I understand the balance of both perfection and imperfection; for what we are not makes us what we are, and vice versa.

    that your life is meaningless?
    Does it give you strength or lead you to
    your grave at a young age?

    No one I've talked to has had their conchs even bleed right after having them punched.

    Congrats on the punches! Since you didnt eat the chunks what'd you do with them? Mine are in a locket!

    You should watch some of the youtube videos of it. Mine didnt bleed much either, but the ones on youtube are quite bloody.
