Helix: Everything You Need to Know Before Getting a Piercing

There are many styles and types of piercings in the piercing industry – one of the most popular is the helix.

We have collected answers to the most common questions about this type of piercing in one article.

What does a helix look like?

It is a piercing of the cartilage at the top of the ear.

Is it painful to do?

Fortunately, cartilage does not have many nerve endings, so most clients experience a slight burning sensation instead of severe pain after the piercing.

But is it possible to do more than two piercings at once? The answer is simple: the artist will be able to do two piercings and more than one session. But your body will decide for itself whether the immune system can handle the healing of several piercings at the same time.

Caring for the helix is ​​an important step towards the desired result. After the session, the artist will give you healing instructions that you should follow.

Also, do not forget:

if you have long hair – gather it in a ponytail so as not to touch the piercing;

until the piercing is completely healed, sleep on the opposite side from the one where the piercing was made to avoid trauma that can complicate the healing process.

When the master determines that the healing period has expired and your puncture looks perfect, you can remove the restrictions. However, it is recommended to wear gold or silver jewelry only after the piercing is completely healed. And it is better to leave the choice of jewelry to your piercing master, who will not only securely install it in the formed channel, but also help you choose the most suitable one according to all parameters.

Thus, your helix will become a bright accent, emphasizing your style and individuality.
