Ear lobe orbitals
Just thought I’d share a link to the pics of the ear lobe orbitals I had them done last November by Owen at Chameleon Body Arts in Cambridge, MA. The pics show how he started with two captive bead rings and when those healed he inserted the ring to link the two piercings. Love them and get lots of compliments!

Anonymous asked: I got my snug pierced in April and there are two bumps on both exit holes of the piercing. I have tried sea salt soaks as well as vitamin E oil and nothing seems to work. It was pierced with a ring, if i change the jewelry to a curved barbell would the bumps be more likely to go away? i have tried to change it, but i cannot seem to find one that will fit because the piercing is still swollen and...
kayteaisgreat asked: Last saturday, I got a rook piercing. It was doing fine at first, until Thursday night, when through a series of small drunken shenanigans, I wound up turning it around a fair bit, and then it got bumped a few times by people. Since then it has been extremely sore and swollen. I've been trying to clean it extra since then to avoid infection, but I also don't want to agitate it further....
