Joeltron, ever a fan of unusual piercings, pierced an ear that was slightly abnormal due to a birth defect. The name he gave the piercing, “ear flappy flop doodad“. It’s a technical name, with very specific anatomically correct terminology.

- Held by Hooks, and Each Otherby JonathonFacilitators and practitioners — the very people who bring so many suspensions to life — often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities.

OMG IT LOOKS JUST LIKE MY DEFORMED EAR!! Mine folds down even a bit further and has a bump where the piercing is placed here. I’ve wanted it tattooed for YEARS but have yet to come up w/a design small enough that would stand the test of time and not blur.
…I have an ear floppy…and now I know what to do with it…
^^^ Ear flappy flop doodads unite!!! ^^^ I have a very mild version of this too. I didn’t think it was a birth defect. I was told it was cause I was jammed in my moms vagina for a very long time during birth. Maybe that is considered a birth defect? I’ve been told I couldn’t get a typical industrial cause of the odd shape of my ear but, there has to be some cool ear project I can do. Thanks for posting this. 😀
At first, I thought it was a dermal, i was so confused lol.
That’s really cute! it kinda looks like the piercing could be an eye and the curves in her ear could be a snakes body, I’d be tempted to tattoo a snake on my ear if I had an ear like that.
