Helix

Helix piercings are one of the most popular piercings and can be done singularly or in multiples. Rings can be comfortably worn, once healed, and can accommodate different types of jewellery – including clusters and even septum clickers! Although very common, cartilage piercings take a lot more care than ear lobes and healing can result in complications if bumped or knocked often. Sleeping on the piercing isn’t recommended while healing as it will drastically reduce your success rate, as well as increasing your chance of scarring.
