Ear Piercing Projects Planning - Body Piercing Basics EP128

In the 128th episode of DaVo's Youtube series Body Piercing Basics, he discusses what steps you should take before starting a multi-piercing Ear Piercing Project.

Show Notes:

What to consider:

Is it a new project or are you combining existing piercing?

• What piercings will work with your anatomy?

• What style of jewelry do you want to wear?

• The Shape of your ear?

• Are you going to want to change the jewelry?

• What color of materials look best with your skin tone

Pattern / constellation style ear flats:

• Decide if you want a centerpiece

• Build off the alignment of existing piercing or create a pattern

• Decide on jewelry style and size beforehand

• combine different sizes, shapes, gems, and colors to make it seem unified

• If the top of the ear bows outward or has a fold to it, consider matching the placement.

• Mark out complete placement and take a photo.

Industrials, Tridents, and Orbits: 

• May require bending the barbells to match the piercing angles

• Greatly increases the risk of issues

• Orbit piercings have to be perfectly spaced.

• The angle of the piercing is just as important as the placement

• May find that the jewelry is uncomfortable to wear

Existing piercings:

• Often adding jewelry that is uniform with the project reduces the distraction of older piercings.

• May have to abandon old piercings if they interfere with the new project.

• Consider Stacking additional piercings to older piercings to create a new pattern and look.
