This is a question for KC-area pagan-ish folks.

I'm looking to get a couple of new piercings in my ears as part of some devotional work with Bast in the very near future, along with featherynscale. I've already got two standard holes in each ear, so this would be a bit higher up -- along the edge and in the cartilege. Yes, I understand from experience that there's a higher risk of infection, quite a bit of discomfort, and longer healing time associated with this sort of thing.

While I bet we can go to the mall and get this done, we wondered if there was anybody a bit less...I don't know, Claire's, that does this? Sure, the kicker is our intention; it doesn't really matter a whole lot where we do it as long as our mindspace is solid. But still.

Any ideas?

There's a lot of backstory, too much to go into on LJ, really. :)

I liked the extra piercings when I had them a decade or so ago and sort of look forward to one or two again -- but I bet the maille links would fill in the look splendidly. No way do I want a half-dozen piercings on my ears. More pain, pain-in-the-ass,and paying-out-the-ass than I would want.

It's not penance. And it's a bit more complicated than "playing" Bast. (shrug)

I'll chat with you more offline about the maille links idea.
