Book An Appointment

Helix Piercing

A helix piercing involves piercing the outer rim of the ear cartilage, typically on the upper part of the ear.  During the procedure, a sterile needle is used to create a hole through the helix cartilage, and then high-quality jewelry such as titanium or surgical stainless steel placed in the piercing

Cost

The cost of a helix piercing varies on the type of jewelry used. The service is $40, jewelry starts at $40 and goes up with gold options and gem stones.

Healing

The healing process for a helix piercing typically takes longer than earlobe piercings, usually around 2 to 4 months. During this time, it's essential for clients to keep the piercing clean by regularly rinsing it with sterile saline solution or mild soap and warm water. They should avoid sleeping on the pierced ear and refrain from touching or playing with the jewelry to prevent irritation and infection.

Placement

Helix piercings offer various placement options, allowing individuals to customize their look based on personal preference and anatomy. Common placements include:

  • Forward Helix: Positioned on the upper front part of the ear, closer to the face.
  • Mid Helix: Located in the middle part of the outer rim of the ear.
  • Double or Triple Helix: Multiple piercings placed vertically along the helix, creating a stacked or clustered look.
  • Industrial Piercing: A unique placement involving two piercings connected by a single barbell, typically spanning the upper helix and the forward helix.
