Forward Helix Piercings
What is a Forward Helix Piercing?
A forward helix piercing goes through the outer helix, or pinna, above the tragus, where the helix attaches to the face. This piercing has seen a surge in popularity, especially when done in multiples.
How Many Forward Helix Piercings Can You Get?
The number of forward helix piercings you can get depends on your anatomy. For a multi-piercing project, we recommend consulting with one of our experienced piercers. They can help determine how many piercings your ear can accommodate and ensure the best placement for both aesthetics and comfort. Not every ear is suited for multiple forward helix piercings, and our experts can guide you through this decision.
Healing and Care Considerations
Like all cartilage piercings, forward helix piercings can be challenging to heal. We can perform multiple piercings on the same ear simultaneously, but we will not pierce cartilage on both ears at the same time. This approach allows one ear to remain functional for activities like sleeping and talking on the phone. It's essential to wait until all piercings on one ear are fully healed before considering additional cartilage piercings on the other ear.
Jewelry Options for Forward Helix Piercings
For initial jewelry, we usually suggest a 16 gauge press-fit post. Our selection ranges from basic, plain balls to ornate designs featuring gold and diamonds, ensuring that you find something perfect for your style. Whether you prefer a simple look or something more elaborate, our extensive collection has you covered.
