i have 27... or around there. But nothing worth showing.

Took my lobes out, was close to 3/4 inch at the time for the lower lobes and had the ones above them stretched as well, but they were all encroaching and I was not willing to get scalpelled, but was at that point I was risking tearing. The others that I can show are upper lobes and conch.

The WORST were the conch piercings. I have 3 of them. They hurt like crazy and the cartilidge takes forever to heal. And the way they sit means they are always "rocking" to a degree (against your skull - and having them on both sides means you need to sleep face down or face up *grin*), so they never feel like they heal. You take them out and they heal up within a short amount of time.

That being said... they are still my favorite permanent piercings of any part of the body (when done right) as it looks like there is a silver ball just floating in your inner ear.

My other top favs are nape and trachea... and uvula. Not sure uvula piercing is still happening, but there was a piercer in NJ that was perfecting it years back and it was all shades of interesting.

Now that I say all that, I recall REALLY wanting to get my chin pierced, but never going through with it... really hot piercing.
