It was slightly spur-of-the-moment, but I'd thought about it for a while, so. And it feels nice to have a new addition to my collection.
Unless something really grabs me, my left ear is pretty much complete. So this went on to my right ear. I still need to add a CBR conch piercing above and parallel to my current one in order to fill in the space that's there, and Liz suggested getting another conch piercing (with a barbell, not a CBR) just below my industrial, which I think will look pretty cute, so I will definitely plan on that.
In the meantime, ( here's my new 16ga tragus piercing. )
I actually like it quite a bit, also especially the bead with the rhinestone in it. ^^; I may want to change the jewelry when it heals to a rhinestone stud, but only if I can get one on a barbell, or something else without one of those horrible traditional post backs. If it comes to that, I'd rather leave in the rhinestone-bead barbell instead.
No clamps were used; just a needle in hand and cork on the other side. It certainly was not as physically shocking as my conch or nose piercings (probably because the cartilage at the tragus is not as thick as the conch or the nose?), though the fact that it was closer to my face made some sort of difference. I'd say it was more intense than my more common helix and lobe piercings. I do admit to kind of enjoying the crunchy sound it makes, though. ^^;
In other news, it was lotsa fun hanging out with Liz, Judy, and most especially Juliet who is back this long holiday weekend from "CHI-fucking-CHI-CAGO". We basically sat around and talked for HOURS. And hours. And more hours. Beer commercials. I definitely have to go look up some old beer commercials on youtube. ^_~
