Nice! But you have some really small ears! (or I have big..)
How do they look from behind?

Could you explain more thoroughly where/how you experience the discomfort?
They shouldn't give any pain actually... I can use them for hours and hours... No change in seal/pain (in contrast to my previous Sennheiser IE8's)
Thanks for the reply. Yeah everywhere and anywhere the IEM's touch so the back, sides and canal entrance. I'm hoping its just my ears being sensitive and reactive to the solid bit of plastic. Stephen from C-IEM said its quite common for ears to react like this and in some cases takes a month for them to be ok with it. Hoping for less than that..because they sound, from my brief experience, on par with my Denon D5000's! Amazing sounds!
Are your Merlin's the first customs you've owned?
Hmm...
Are the inner parts of outer ear swollen/reddish? Were you prone to ear infections as a child?
I haven't had the pleasure of trying out D5000's, however a pimped-up La FIgaro 339 is arriving soon... because my honest opinion is that Merlins + Leckerton Audio UHA-4 > HD650s + Fubar IV Plus. I want to eliminate the weakest link in the chain, the Fubar IV.
Yeah, my first customs. Klipsch X5 => Senn IE8's => Merlins
Finally got a new SD-card so I could do some serious photography...
I have solved this deep mystery...I wan't putting them in properly..!
You weren't putting them in properly, I didn't have a perfect seal. But after a little mod I'm loving my Merlins! The balance between bass (deep, powerfull, but still incredibly clean and detailed), a bit forward mids (just how I like it) and crisp highs (but not at all fatiguing) is simply phenomenal.
Can it be better? Well... the Aurisonics AS(G)-2 are pretty interesting. Damn you, upgraditis...

Just testing the UM Merlin Demo using Comply Soft Wraps and I`m loving the sound
