- It's been a while since I've done a piercing video!! This one turned into a vlog of me changing my earrings for the first time on my own (I changed my conch, cartilage/helix and lobe piercings out). My anti-tragus was also acting up - I did a sea salt soak but I'll chat more about how I deal with flare ups and bumps in my next video!
I'm filming a proper update/Q&A next so leave your questions in the comments!

The hoops I ordered → bit.ly/revelmy...
My goal was to swap out my starter titanium jewelry (what you get pierced with) for dainty hoops without having to buy super expensive jewelry right now. That's why I opted for these ones I found on etsy! Definitely want more accent pieces and dangly lobe jewelry (like threaders) from blu boho or bvla but I want to save some money to invest in ones I really want. So for now, I'm probably going to leave my ears like this lol. I just want to get more piercings when the studios open up!!

Super real and interesting - thank you for sharing. I have had issues with my ears over the years. Now I'm slowly changing everything to bvla. It's expensive but I think over time / cost per wear it's worth it. I've found filled hurts my ears over time once the gold wears away. xx
Everytime when I see your ear I'm like omg this is exactly how I want it!
Awww so happy to hear!! Thank youu x
Sameeee
This video made me feel better. I got a helix piercing last week and for whatever reason I didn't get the jewelry I really wanted. I thought about it for dayzzz. This video made me realize that this is a journey and a lot of jewelry swaps will be made a long the way :)
i literally love all of her piercings, i’m thinking of getting a conch, rook, and a daith. what do y’all think?
Go for it! Got my conch on Thursday and absolutely loving it
the conch isn’t that bad, it’s a bad pinch for a second then throbbing for the next hour or 2 but it looks really good so i’d say it’s worth it. i got mine done earlier today
recommend getting rook and daith on different ears as they are quite close together on most people's anatomy
go for it girl, i’ve gotten all of those and they do hurt but so worth it lol
YESssss
Oh my gosh a new piercing update!!!! I love your vids especially your piercing ones! 😍
Thank you!! That makes me so happy to hear 💛
@@inspiroue Hello! I have quadruple(4) pierced earlobes & I'm searching for some accessorizing ideas over social media. Sometimes, I also wear earcuffs with my piercings too. Y'see, I'm too chicken to get a cartilage piercing
My piercing studio in town doesn’t do anti tragus or rook! So I’m binge watching your piercing videos cuz they are too aesthetic. Hopefully I’ll find someone who can do my piercing soon
Awww anti-tragus I've heard a lot of people don't do (but that studio is amazing and knows their stuff). Fingers crossed you'll find someone soon! x
I actually just did this yesterday and last week and it was so stressful! My helix closed up twice i had to sit there and stick the post from the front until it opened 😖 and then a piercing I’d never had issues with all of a sudden started embedding the earring into my ear giving me a migraine... it was a mess. All because i got bored and wanted to switch them around. Should’ve just left them alone lol now I’m really unhappy with how they look. Ive had the worst problems with my second top helix and my two mid helixes. Everything else lobes, tragus, conch, and flats have been fine. Keep us updated with that antitragus - hope it heals soon,
Oh noooo that's the worst haha it's already such a stressful thing to do! Do some sea salt soaks and warm compresses it helped me!! And yes I will keep you updated!
Lol that was literally me when I took my conch out 😂
Hahaha it's so freaky!! 😂
Gurl ! I’m on the same journey ! Looking for titanium and gold jewelry on Etsy myself .
Yes!!! this was the most affordable gold fill hoop I found in the sizes I wanted!! But I want like nice dangly jewerlyyyyy (saving money to invest in some hehe) x
@@inspiroue stone and strand!
You can look on sites like bodyartforms and arctic Buffalo and find titanium anodized to look like gold for a good price :)
Your piercings are so well thought out, I love them
I am obseeeessed with your piercing videos. Love love love them!
Thank youuuuu x
Your piercing videos are my fave! That’s how I found your channel 😊
Aw yay I’m so glad!! x
psst! im unsure if someone already told you but don't use alcohol to clean piercings. alcohol is used to close wounds, you dont wanna close your piercings. only use saline solutions! :D
This is unrelated but you have really nice nails. I wish I could grow mine out like that naturally without having them be a weird shape lol
I have both conches pierced. The right one is done at 14 gauge, and the left was dermal punched at 4 gauge. I've never worn rings in either of them---really can't with the left---hole is too big, so I wear a tunnel in it. I tried a ring in the right, but the ring was too small of a diameter, and was uncomfortable, so back to a 14 gauge labret stud. All of my jewelry is implant grade anodized titanium, except for my 4 gauge holes, which use silicone tunnels. I really don't care for tiny jewelry. Yours looks great though. (Jan Griffiths).
Bruh that bump, omg I’ve in the back of my ear and it’s so fkn annoying. Lol i felt so relieved seeing I’m not the only one who has that lol
everyoneee struggles with them haha the worst
Your ears are the best!! So pretty and curated💖
Aw yayyy tysm!! x
in order to put a labret, here goes a trick: use a earing in the front of the hole and fit the labret in the
back of the earing, then push the labret.
ouu thank you i'll try!
Yep! It’s how I did my first few changes, because I was terrified of it just immediately healing over. It’s a huge help. 😁
When did you decide you wanted to go for the aesthetic/curated ear thing? And what made you want to do it? Love you!!
Omg like yeaaaars ago! I was in second year uni, had 0 piercings, and kept seeing all these dainty ears on pinterest! I also really wanted tattoos but couldn't commit yet so I thought ok why not get piercings first hahaha I also don't like wearing necklaces so I thought earrings were a simple way to dress up my outfits on the daily!! x love uu
@@inspiroue I relate to the wanting tattoo but can't commit part. You inspire me to get more piercings! ☺️
Loved this video and CZcams u being all over the place is so me I’m getting a conch, daith, trag and some helix piercings soon
I love your piercing videos! Yours look great with the new jewelry!
I'm so happy you love!! And tysm!! Happy with how they look for now but I want to get some cute threaders and dangly lobe piercings so bad 🙈
yessssss, i loved it. specially those videos about piercings.
love you loads.
aw tysm!!! love you x
I enjoy your video, I love to watch people change their piercings. I hope I can do this next year, still waiting for some to heal!
hey is it uncomfortable to sleep on your conch piercing with a hoop? I got mine for almost two years but have only been wearing a stud. Btw i love your piercings
I love ur piercing videos 💖 I wish I found ur channel earlier!
Aw tysm girl!! x
What u do in this i have one for month and never go and im really scared idk what to do please tell me 2:16 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Bumps like that don't appear out of nowhere or overnight.
First thing to do is get to the root of the problem. Don't sleep on it, don't touch it, don't twist or turn it, and don't forget to clean it.
^^if you are doing any of that, then stop doing it and problem solved. It might take a while to go away , but it will.
Other people recommend diluted tea tree oil (just apply a bit on the bump [ *just the bump* ] until it goes away ).
Edit: also, Studs are better than rings/hoops for healing faster cause they don't move as much.
Hi.....I love your minimalist earring jewellery. I like your conch the most and wondering how was the healing process with that one? Can u sleep on it comfortably or u use travel pillow to sleep? I was planning on getting one for my right ear and I was a side sleeper but I don’t like the idea of using travel pillow forever since I also have double helix on my left ear.
Hey I know I’m not her but I have a conch piercing and thought I could help you out! Getting the conch was def a little painful but the pain fades after a while. You can’t sleep on it for a hot minute (about 6 months to a year) but I’ve found that travel pillows are really helpful! If you do get one, I REALLY recommend getting a stud because I’ve found that the larger starter hoops that you can get pierced with tend to rub against my pillow when sleeping causing piercing bumps. I’ve had mine for about two years now and it flairs up occasionally but it’s nothing a sea salt soak can’t fix. Hope this helps!
Exactly what Cindy said! Def hey it pierced with a stud first and then swap to a hoop after it heals (I tried with a hoop first and that made it a nightmare) - I slept with a travel pillow for a while too (well just my arm curled up) hha hope this helps!! Sometimes I get lazy and still sleep on my sides when I shouldn’t and then I have to deal with the aftermath after (flare ups and irritation) lollll
Cindy Lee thanks for the reply....I will consider getting the travel pillow then hehe.....although I’m so reluctant to use one 😂 but for the sake of piercing, I think I have to. Now, after 2 years, can u sleep with normal pillow already? I’m a little worry when u said it still flare up sometimes after 2 years.....I thought it is much better than helix piercing in term of healing.
inspiroue oouuh....I really thought u did’nt use travel pillow previously haha.....guess there’s no option then to get travel pillow for me. My initial plan is to get it done with hoop as well but I’ve seen your previous videos when u change it to stud and I also thought your stud is cool so yeah I will get it done with studs first then maybe after it heals change it to hoop. 😊
siti najwa Hey! Sorry for the late reply~ I sleep with a normal pillow now and my piercing is usually okay BUT sometimes I end up grinding my ear into my pillow when I sleep or getting it tangled in my hair which is always the reason why it flares up. As long as you’re relatively careful when sleeping I think you’ll be perfectly fine! I’m just really aggressive when sleeping I guess lol
Hi there! Girl, I already have quadruple(4) earlobes piercings on BOTH my ears. I sure wouldn't have the PATIENCE to change those INNER ear piercings! For me, it takes enough PATIENCE just to CHANGE my lobe piercings! My personal piercer has ADVISED me NOT to get anymore ear piercings anyway. BEST of LUCK to YOU!!
hahaha it took soooo much patience! And ouuu jealous I wanna get more lobe piercings!! x
I must admit, since I have lots of non-iodized sea salt left, part of me really wants more ear piercings! That stuff is really great for helping piercings to heal. It definitely is better for the healing process than rubbing alcohol & hydrogen peroxide, which was what I used to heal my earlier lobe piercings.
People please dont buy your jewelery on etsy. Get jewelery from certified shops woth good quality products. Yes, etsy has pretty jewelery, but its not good for your piercing. Thats why she has that dreadfull bump on one of her piercings. That did not come overnight from sleeping on it.
Yes Cynthia less hoops and more statement pieces would be 😍 Great video!
I totally agree!! Hopefully soon when I’ve saved some money for it!! And thank you x
I know this is super late but if you wanted a hoop in your conch they would have placed it out more to help. I’ve had mine done twice and this last time I told them I wanted to place a hoop in it and it was way further out then my first time.
Exactly. Did mine twice for the same reason. The first time, I haven’t realized that all conch piercings would be perfectly fitted to support a hoop beautifully. Lesson learned. The second time, I asked the hole to be a little bit more “out” as you said.
Way better.
I’m sad. My conch is definitely more “in” and I wish more than anything I had asked to move it over a pinch 😭
I really like the small studs! I’m glad you kept those in. Where did you get those small diamond piercings? And how much were they?
Hi! What brand is your tragus stud from?
Bvla from my piercing studio
have you tried bodyartforms? i've ordered from them since 2012. they have solid titanium and more fine metals
I've heard about thm but never tried!! I'll look into them more x
Is it an expensive brand?
@@ariannedupuis3939 not it depends on what you get. it's a site that carries different brands like anatometal, neometal and some more high end brands. I tend to just get titanium for my piercings so it's affordable but good quality
Where’d you get your original trinity conch jewelry from? I love the size and the way it looks. Also how long did your conch take to fully heal?
It's from BVLA - I bought it through my piercing studio! I talk about my conch in past videos but it basically took 1.5 years (got it pierced with a surgical steel hoop at first and that combo was not good for it lol)
Have you looked at spiral jewelry, its still hoop like but would break up the really dainty look!
Where is your blouse from?? I love the colour & pattern!
I needed this video, Please where did the get the rook hoop from and what's the measurement
The hoop in my rook is a seamless ring from BVLA - I got it through my piercing studio! I'm not sure what the exact measurement is but I think it's a 7mm diameter and a custom gauge (I think 5/11 inch?). Hope this helps! x
Yes! thank you so much xx
Hey girl, where did you get your second earlobe piercing from at 11:07? that one looks soo pretty, I wanna get the same! 😍
its the first time i see you but i already like you
Where did you get your diamond hoop on your second lobe?
blu boho x
How bad did the conch piercing hirt?? I'm really thinking about getting mine done.. please anyone let me know.. thanks !!!!
I've vlogged/documented all my piercings! Check out my piercings playlist - literally everything you'd want to know is covered x
hey! i don’t know your pain tolerance or whether or not you’ve done it yet but personally it wasn’t bad at all, very quick and easy, definitely worth it for me! if you already have gotten it let me know how it went!
@@hopejennings648 hey no I havent gotten it done yet.. I'm still thinking about it. I mean I got my daith pierced, so I'm sure I can get my conch done lol.. but thank you for your advice. I'll let you know if I get it done ......
A year later still a very entertaining video love😘✌🏾 p.s new sub🤪
Talize re-opens their Ontario stores tmr 😪 tears of joy.
omg no way!! so excited to thrift again!!
where did you buy your earrings? literally cutieee
Your piercings are so cute !! How did you heal the bump on your anti-tragus?
patience and it still comes back often tbh - have to not sleep on it ever, do warm compresses/sss, and never fidget with it for the bump not to be there lol
@@inspiroue ahh ok, I have a piercing bump at the moment and it’s so annoying 😭✋🏻
are you a pisces? this has chaotic indecisive pisces energy
I'm an aries, and libra moon/rising but pisces in my saturn and venus haha not totallyyy sure what that means but chaotic is definitely *me*
Hey I'm super late lol, but where do you get your rings??
mix of blu boho and etsy (super long time ago though like 5 years haha) x
@@inspiroue Thank you!! I love ur style by the way!
What’s the thickness of your rook hoop?
Honestly I would reconsider that jewlery especially on the ear that is acting up gold plating is really bad for piercings
its solid gold because my ears are sensitive and allergic to everything lol
Where did you get your rook piercing jewelry??!
From my piercing studio!
I love your piercings wish you could curate mine🥺💓🙏🏻
What about nickle free gold? Have you tried any pieces?
Wait isn’t all gold nickel free? 🤔🤔
inspiroue Oops I guess so! I think I said that because so many places emphasize the fact.
Looove your piercing videos🤩!! I rematch them all the time lol🙈 You inspired me to finally one day get a rook 🤗🥰
Aw thank you!!! So glad you love! and yes you should get your rook!! x
Where is your boho hoop from?
blu boho!
the reason you have a bump on your anti tragus is because of the type of jewlery youre wearing, youre supposed to wear a curved barbell. a hoop causes so much movement thats why you get irritation bumps, you sleeping on it makes it worse.
if you are not sensitive to tea tree oil, a few drops on your anti-tragus should dry out the bump without creating any more irritation :)
yesss I love it!! it's my last resort because my skin gets too dry from it and then irritated from that 😂
Hey girl! Where did you get your small hoop in your lobe on your right ear at 2:01min? Lol it’s so cute!
Aw tysm!! The diamond hoop is from blu boho! They’re currently sold out of this side but have the larger size on their site x
Love this video :) Thanksx
Yay so glad!! x
You need some tree tea oil on that bump. It really works
Do these oxidize if I shower?
Nope!
I'm here because I wanted to see how change my piercing jewelry cause I'm scared to do it by myself.
do you have any lipstick here ? in 9.00 minute ?
please put a barbell in your anti-tragus! get rid of the ring its not helping it heal girl
thought she was gonna say and some alcohol because i need it
In Thailand, you can go to a professional piercer and let them fix your bump for less than 10 usd 😄
People don’t reuse their jewelry!
