i always feel as if piercing such as these are on the ridiculous side, but i have to admit this one has a beauty to it and it looks good.

Looks like a torture device, especially with the blood splatter.

I can’t imagine that this jewelry would be good at all for fresh piercings, and it appears as though that’s what this picture is of?

Healing would be soooooooooo damn heinous.
Nice though.

to “person”: Looks like an ear pointing to me, the tissue probably split while healing to give it that ridge. Definitely not an industrial being embedded…they would have taken care of that long before the piercing of anything else.
Beautiful, yes. But I can totally see that being covered in hypertrophic soon. But…dammit all it’s so cool looking!

I do not like… I’m not a big fan of ear projects..
And it looks like an ear pointing that didn’t heal completely together or came apart a bit while healing.. not seen too terribly often..

Not doing it for me. I get that it’s really neat, and well done, and is pretty extreme for an ear project. But it look’s cheap and tacky. That dent in the cartilage is probably just an old (poorly done?) helix that didn’t heal as planed. This should be fun to heal.

I looked at this pic and felt an immediate and deep attachment to my ear phones. I hope that this guy(?) has an alternative music disbursement system. 🙂
That said, I like it. I actually do like ear projects, and this one is quite nifty.
