1,2,3 point orbital

When the discussion about the trickiest piercings each of had done came up in the IAM: Learning Piercing forum, where we mentioned the uvula piercing,  and Seth D. mentioned a 3 point orbital he had done. Well, that discussion had me feature a uvula piercing here, but I didn’t think to feature the orbital. Then I ran across it when perusing the galleries looking for possible features and damn was I impressed! Regular 2 point orbitals are a technical piercing, but this 3 point orbital is a master piece.

For 2 different perspectives on this piercing, keep on keeping on.

    mr. mister i have switched to 1/2 canal hearing aids a step down form the over the ear hearing aid to address the freedom of the cartilage on the top pat of my ear and with 1/2 canal there are also even smaller hearing aids that go deeper into the canal, i found that getting pierced earlobes obstructed stupid individuals from asking what is in my ears , and why i have them, mind you back then i got coloured hearing aid moulds. and now people ask me about the 1/2 inch lobes i have in and barely see the skin tone hearing aids anymore.

    Trip, I am assuming you have behind the ear hearing aids? If so, I also have the half ear canal molds too. Mine are clear, and the only reason people notice I have hearing aids is when they see the battery area. They notice my 7/8″ lobes and cartilage piercings before they notice my hearing aids all the time.

    Trip, after reading your post again I realize that you don’t have behind the ears. I have lost over 70 percent of my hearing and the other ones aren’t strong enough volume wise for me to use.
