Hi, I've posted here a couple of times before, but I had two new
questions: 1. How far apart do cartilage piercings need to be? I ask this because I diy'd two helix piercings in my left ear, and would like a third or forth, but I'm not sure if I can go between them... I'm afraid the cartilage would rip or something, I'm really not sure, I've looked all over the interwebs and can't find anything on how close they can be without issues. 2. Is it Curt and Kavin, or just Kavin? Thanks for your help! |

Obviously you don't want them so close that they would interfere with each other, or have the jewellery do stupid things, or look stupid. Post an image of your ear if you'd like a specific to you opinion. I have cartilage piercings that are sitting at 12G right now that are about as far apart as you'd see similarly sized lobe piercings spaced. They aren't a problem and look fine - does that help? >2. Is it Curt and Kavin, or just Kavin? There is a poster named Kavin on this group, and another posted named Curt. If you're looking for a slightly more profound answer, I'd have to say That Bitch Kavin. nj"or maybe shoelace"m -- But I was looking for that great jazz note that destroyed the walls of Jericho. |

They are both 14g, I wear simple 1/2" seamless cbrs, and I'm not going
to stretch them... I guess the main problem I have is that they are further apart than standard multiple earlobe piercings, but I think if I put one inbetween they would much closer than would look nice. If only there was a way to move them slightly further apart... And my piercings are currently... (measures) 1cm apart, so if 3.3mm is accurate, then one more 14g could safely fit between them, I'd just have to see if it would look nice... somehow. Oh, and njm, thanks for your answer to number 2, I kinda thought that was the case. Thanks all for your continuing advice! `Eric |

If you feel something should go in there, why don't you do something teeny tiny and not with a ring, but a little barbell sort of thing? Though I'm looking at my ruler and thinking "no", 1 cm isn't much room, and it might look crowded... nj"or maybe..."m -- But I was looking for that great jazz note that destroyed the walls of Jericho. |
