I've got five holes each lobe, anti-tragus, conch, both nostrils, snakebites and belly button... I think that's it. I really only wear my anti-tragus, I'm trying to stretch my first lobe piercings to 5mm but all of the gland things in my neck swell up when I do it, so I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen

So yes, I agree completely, healing is a bitch.
I'm mostly concentrating on tattoos now, I've got six already (I just count my leg as one now) I'm still looking for someone I'm the Cairns area that will tattoo with my veganism in mind, the idea that my black ink is burnt bones grosses me out A LOT.
