yep - what I did. I'm pretty sure it was a little infected when I took the jewelry out to change it, resulting in the 'bump' - then it was just too painful to keep anything IN once I had taken it out.

I paid for that myself, sucked to see that $$ down the drain at 20! LOL

When I got a Helix piercing back when I was a teen, we called it a "cow tag". I recently met a lady with a lot of those piercings listed in the posted diagram. I wonder if one of you ladies is her??? If so.. Rita! Nice meeting you at Larry and Pam's!!

I've since let all my ear piercings close up ( I had 3 on each lobe and then 1 cow tag).

It wasn't me.. I ended up taking my Tragus piercing out after getting knocked around on a ride at Kings Dominion. It ended up swelling, badly, but it has since healed. I will not be getting it done again. I still have the others.... I like 'em.

I got the tragus done in June and he put in a silver hoop. When I went back in at the end of August for my tongue I had him switch the silver hoop out for a gold one. It bled pretty bad and that b!+*h hurt worse than the tongue!!
