Entity talks about the helix piercing

A  simple ear stud piercing is basically a thing of the past. People are now using their bodies as a canvas for self-expression, and we are loving it. While nose and belly piercings are on the rise, people are also piercing their ears in new and fun ways. A helix piercing is all the rage in ear candy these days. We are here to give you the scoop on what’s cute and show you why you might want to try it, too.

What Is a Helix Piercing?

A helix piercing is any piercing on the outer upper ear cartilage. The piercing can be as simple as a single hoop. Or to add some edge, people go for a double helix or even a triple helix. There is even a forward helix, which is where the frontal cartilage area of the ear is pierced.

The benefit to helix piercings is their subtle edge. You can rock them at work and not fear the boss, and you can avoid grandma’s commentary at family parties. For anyone who wants to amp up their look but isn’t quite ready to take the plunge into the more distinct body jewelry, a helix piercing is a perfect choice.

What Is the Upkeep Like?

Helix piercings take about three to six months to heal. When cartilage is involved, recovery time can be significantly longer than a typical earlobe piercing. When properly taken care of, your new piercing should heal without a flaw. Authority Tattoo recommends a simple sea salt spray solution to clean out your piercing daily to avoid infection.  They also urge you to avoid touching your new jewelry to limit the risk of infection and a longer healing process.

Is There a Helix Piercing to Fit My Style?

Without a doubt, helix piercings vary for all styles, looks and personalities!

A unique statement jewelry piece to catch the eye. The triangle formation of the cluster of pearls draws the attention to the curvature of your ear and creates an artistic and complementary look.

Overall, the helix is our new favorite piercing because it is versatile enough to complement any style. It is subtle enough to rock in any setting, and the upkeep is pretty low. We are all for some edge and a little bit of bling.
