Healing times for a rook piercing can differ from one person to another, but typically, the healing period spans about 6–12 months. Maintaining a thorough aftercare routine is crucial during this time to prevent infections and promote proper healing. Our piercers recommend cleaning your rook piercing twice a day using saline solution or mild soap and water.
It’s also important to avoid applying any pressure or causing trauma to the pierced area. Please avoid sleeping on the freshly pierced ear and refrain from unnecessary touching or rotating of the new jewelry. Mild symptoms like swelling, redness, and tenderness are normal, but please contact us or speak to a healthcare professional if you notice any signs of infection. Your health and safety matter most, and we’re committed to advising you during the healing process.
