At the end of last year, I posted about my 0g conch punch that I booked with Dana Marie Dracula and got done by her partner, Piercer Mike. I was in love with the results, especially after removing the stitches and seeing how it looked with a tunnel. 

I started seeing what looked like a small flap of skin, but assumed it was a bump and left it alone. I switched to glass, but the bump kept getting worse.

After reaching out to much more reputable piercers and body mod artists, I unfortunately learned that my conch punch was botched from the getgo. It was not done well, like I initially thought and was doomed to turn into... whatever this is. 

The last two pictures are what I woke up to this morning after the bump pushed my jewelry out of my ear. Until an actually reputable body mod artist visits my area, I am stuck with this.

For a while, I was too embarrassed to share this online. But as it gets worse and worse, I *need* to make sure as many people as possible heed my warning **NOT** to go to Dana Marie Dracula **OR** her partner Piercer Mike for any heavy mod work. **PLEASE** do more research than you think you need to. Ask well known, reputable piercers and body mod enthusiasts who they recommend!
