    I've been thinking lately that it's time to get another piercing, but I can't make up my mind about what's next. So far it's between a tragus, anti-tragus, conch and rook. (I already have several helix piercings.) I have pretty small ears and so one concern of mine is not over-crowding my ears with jewelry. I'm wondering which of these would be most painful? I can handle a lot of pain but still, I don't want to get a piercing that's going to make it hard to sleep or even take off a shirt and bump it and cry. Anyone have some suggestions?

    i have a tragus piercing in my left ear and a rook piercing in my right ear. i love them both. when i got my tragus done though it swelled up and i could not hear out of my left ear for a few days. but with tlc and some ice the swelling went down. the rook piercing did not do anything of the sort and i have never had any problems with it. i did do an anti-tragus once but i wanted to stretch my lobes so i took it out and let it close.

    yikes I'm glad you got your hearing back! Did one hurt more than the other, or take a lot longer to heal? Reading up a bit more, I don't think my anti-tragus is large enough to pierce. Bummer cause those are so cute!

    they both hurt about the same. not much difference. took about 3 months to heal. about average.

    im a huge fan of the orbital..you could totally connect your next piercing so it will seem less crowded with jewelry,

    is the orbital different from the conch? I've seen several photos that make them look quite similar.

    I'm pretty sure I've decided I'm going to just get all three.. tragus, conch and rook. Just not all at once lol. As soon as I find a better job, I'm going to reward myself with a tragus and another helix (my favorite!)

    I've got an inner conch piercing and it is by far my favorite piercing that I have. I love it :D
    It was the most painful thing I've had done, imo, though.

    I have both my industrials pierced and I love them. It was the most painful piercing I have. I have seven piercings and it was definitley painful but it was worth it it is so cool and people are always complementing me on them.
