The three point spiral cartilage piercing that Jay Dee Werland at Tiger Rose Tattoo and Body Piercing in Pismo Beach, California has just installed here is nice and all, but I also like the “studded for her pleasure” marks from all the old piercings… My ear still has those from piercings in the 80s!

I have plenty of these, too; they’re still open even though I haven’t worn any jewelry for years now.
it’s actually a nice reminder of the good ol’ times.

The old piercings makes her ear look like it has goosebumps….kinda cool in a way.
Gotta love the spiral though. I wouldn’t do it but it looks great on her.

I’ve got those scar bumps on my ears, too. Ah, piercing guns in the 80′s. If I had only known.

Mmm…I had a 5 point spiral that I had to take out due to lots of reasons, and I’ve since re-done it with only 4 holes, but in the mean time I massaged vitamin E oil into my ears, I heard it was supposed to reduce scarring, and it definitely made those 5 little bumps go away. 🙂 Just a thought, if the wearer cares to get rid of them…it feels slimy and gross but helps a lot.

I have those too…… I really don’t like them, but they really don’t bother me too much. Stupid guns…..do you know walmart sells them now. You can buy the gun itself!

I have a couple of those scars on my ears from stupid DIY piercings when I was about 13 or 14. Did them with a saftey pin. I was soooooo smart back in the day lol. I hate those scars, so thanks for the vitamin E tip. I’ll have to try it.

oh yeah, i still have massive bumps (and discoloring) from the gun-punched cartilage piercings i had over ten years ago. i think this person’s bumps look kind of neat though.

so big and swollen.
when i got my three point spiral done my ears looked completely different because of the swelling.
the bumps on her ear are almost uniform enough to just look neat though.
