Pierce the helix piercing! Have there been many, many piercings in the past and today? I am not sure. Many young people are considering getting cartridge piercings, shiny studs, studs and decorative jewelry that adorn the upper ear. This piercing is seen on celebrities, politicians, doctors, teenagers and everyone in between. These are the most popular ear piercings and are always one of the most popular services in many studios. There is a
history dating back hundreds and thousands of years, and upper ear jewelry appears in cultures around the world. The Helix Piercing drill is placed in the Helix Piercing rim cartridge and a series of holes are made along the Helix Piercingwall up to the ear. Today we will look at the classic, typical spiral behind the spiral. We will look at what has been published in this area. Helix piercings are popular with studios,
and designer chains. From big and bold to simple and delicate, there’s no shortage of jewelry options for this popular piercing. But there are some important piercing and healing tips to consider before getting your helix piercing!

Anatomy
Anatomy can be used for all types of piercing, including spiral. Many people think that everyone has a spiral anatomy, but this is not actually true. Although very rare, there are some anatomies that cannot see the spiral clearly. The back of the ear consists of cartilage and skin, and the helix is ​​the edge of cartilage that starts where the ear connects to the head and wraps around the sides of the ear. The shape of the helix is ​​highly variable and circular, with
parallel, parallel, parallel and complete scapular helices. Some clients are born with a spiral of a particular shape, while others may develop it as they grow. Minor injuries, falls and trauma can also significantly change the shape of the helix.

As we see, just as there are unique and different people, there are also many different ears! Therefore, since the helix is ​​located in human anatomy, its location looks different in everyone. It is important to consider the anatomy of the ear when examining the helix as this will affect position, aesthetics and healing. Luckily, this anatomical difference doesn’t usually mean we can’t get a piercing, it’s just the effects where we bite!



Positioning

The location of the Helix Piercing drill varies greatly. Shall we hang it above the soul above the ear? What about direct media? Can we make a little spiral? Should we remove it or take it out of our ears? Do we have the courage to look forward? Or side? Is one position better than another? Where to go?!?

Honestly….

Come wherever you want!

Probably the most famous point is located somewhere over 1/3 of the ear and slightly inside the helix. There’s a reason this position is a classic: it looks great in a small studio and usually leaves plenty of room to dress something big. The eyelets fit very well on the upper, both the swoosh and the swoosh are big and eye-catching. In addition to chains, design studios and pendants also work here. This positioning tends to keep glasses, masks, and most other phone styles clear, making it at least as functional and aesthetically pleasing as the . A large number of people can support piercing in these positions, increasing its popularity. This is what most people think of when they hear the words “Helix Piercing drill” or “cartridge drill”. These positions are extremely popular in many cultures and media forms.

However, there are some important considerations for this position. The first of these is the angle and the fact that we did it together. This part of our ear often looks like a slit, meaning there is a small, vertical point coming out of it. Some people have a large space here where we can place different pieces very well and we have a lot of placement options. In others, there may be a very small hill here and decorations will be limited. Others may have attached a mountain around
and we cannot penetrate there properly. Depending on the client’s anatomy and goals, we may need to create this opening at the shoulder blade to ensure the jewelry fits comfortably and can be worn properly.

But that’s not the only thing we have to consider in this article! Because these small changes in space cause large shape changes. We want the cut to be perpendicular to the tissue. How will the erectness change as we progress through this rotation, flattening, and shifting of the ears? This changes the way the jewelry sits and whether it will be more visible from the front or the side. You can change the sizes of the pieces you can wear comfortably. One angle may allow the
to diversify more, but another may limit you to smaller pieces. Most noticeably, this changes the way the hoop fits in the ear.

This is something your piercer should discuss with you during the piercing, and you should work together to find a place that is comfortable for you, safe for your anatomy, and where you can wear all the jewelry you want. There are many different things we can do with these positions that can really change the way the piercing is used, so it’s important to keep this in mind!

However, there are different ways to position the outside of the upper helix. The Helix Piercing is ​​all around the cartridge, which means we are not limited to drilling at the top. We can go under the middle helix, also called the auricle, middle helix, or middle helix. This space is usually created in the center of the ear and is often associated with the daith or tragus. This is a great place and I wear it myself! However, this position may make it difficult for many people to save the . This is perfect for behind the ear for most people; This means it is easy to grab or pierce this area. Many customers here have long and narrow hips, which means they are limited to wearing smaller pieces in this position. This area is often affected by problems and in general this trick saves many people. Although it is a very beautiful place, I ask everyone who sees it to make preparations to improve the
instead of the old spiral.

And of course we don’t limit ourselves to these two areas! We can literally go anywhere you want. There are also variations such as horizontal spirals, vertical spirals, and internal spirals, which we will cover in this blog post. If you decide to undergo it, I recommend you consider your future goals for this piercing. Want to wear a pair that suits your purpose? Whether the is in-ear or out-of-ear, your positioning can be finished high or low to give the look you want. Are you planning to wear big, bold and fancy jewelry for a long time? Your space may need to be adjusted so that you can sit comfortably and we may need to move more of your floor. If you have unique piercing goals in mind, discuss them with your piercer! We may often use ring measurements or samples to ensure we cut to your size.

This is doubly true if you plan on getting more than one piercing. If you know your goal is a nice double helix, a triple Helix Piercing with large stones rising, or you want a nice chain between your Helix Piercing and another drilling, let us know! But we do know that we can plan ahead and identify places where you can build these and other holes. Where I like to place Helix Piercing parts on the ear varies greatly between doing a single studio solo or a proliferating project.




First pieces of jewelry

There is a lot to think about when it comes to helix piercings. This is because the Helix Piercing is ​​a very good piercing that can be worn in a wide variety of styles and heals well. The style of jewelry you start with will have a huge impact on your spiral healing experience, and most styles have pros and cons associated with them.




The first one is classic, simple. An object with a flat disk at the back and small bumps at the front. Maybe an antique pearl or a soft gemstone or opal. This is probably the easiest part to fix with the coil. Easy to clean and easy to organize. They can shine and show a lot, but since they are not large, they cannot be caught or captured. These parts are common for a reason: after all, other methods are not hidden and bombarded by important media elements! Proper support of this method will help reduce sticking and tearing of hair and clothes, and the simple design in it will be placed in different parts. For people with very small coils, many large and bulky designs do not fit snugly into the ear canal or auditory canal and can sometimes cause irritation from movement and pressure on the surrounding skin.

But of course it doesn’t have to be easy. Helixes is the perfect place to go wild with something bold and unique! The cluster of 5 gemstones is the classic spiral giving the effect of multiple piercings at the tip of the ear, but only one is needed. Likewise, gold jewelry consisting of precious stones and pearls has also become very popular over the years. And this all works well on the first spiral! But repairing these large parts and keeping the clean will be difficult. Remember that even if it is big inside, you need to clean the bottom! For clients who have experience with recovery or are more interested in the best part, this could be a good choice. Such large sections depend on anatomy, and some ears may not have the space to support a piercing with too large a section. These pieces are made up of many parts, and what is too big for most people’s ears is full size for others. And not all great pieces are created equal: backless settings, straight or uneven lengths or rhinestones, tiny studs, and even sharp beading and graphics can make a difference in the way a piece is worn for healing. In general, the smaller, lighter and lighter the piece, the easier it will be to heal. The more beautiful and higher we see, the more work can be done! If you’re ready and your ears support you, get started! But don’t worry, you can wear these parts after recovery,
is difficult to recover.

Now, when talking about the helix piercing studio, we have to talk about the back of the butterfly. I have a full article here on why this method of support isn’t good everywhere, but especially in the helix. These large hairs can easily become tangled in hair, clothing or pillowcases and cause damage or problems. The back is large and can be easily grabbed and held while sleeping. Worse, it’s not very comfortable for most people to sleep in, and the
can dig into the side of your head, behind your ears, while you sleep. It also creates space for the piercing’s natural discharge to collect and grow thicker and larger. This method is often used with piercing weapons and we know it is safe. I have many clients come in every month with butterflies in their cars and ask me to find them something comfortable, something they can sleep on and not get messy.

And of course basketball. Helices is one of the few holes I would jump into, but only after careful consideration. This is because what I mean when I say “trap for my first helix piercing” is usually not the same as what the client means when they say “I want to get pierced again.” See, a new piercing is just that, a new piercing. They need time to heal! Some of these healing processes often include swelling. Another part of the recovery process involves
wastes and debris that need to be cleaned up. We need a ring with a large enough diameter to leave room for swelling to heal.

When we use a ring that is pressed or tested, there is no time for swelling, cleaning and healing. This can cause irritation to the trigger or worse, cause the trap to move along the coil. We’ve talked about the effects of cheese before on this blog. This is a bigger issue with the reviews rather than the studio. This also means that if I prick someone scar first, it will be a deep reading so that it is stable enough to heal. When a
requests a roll most customers are looking for a simple design, a squeegee or most importantly a good fit. They don’t design big, bulky rings with pearls (because, as I discuss in this blog post, we don’t want to put simple rings in the piercing). Many clients don’t really want the initial recovery they need; They want the little things they get after recovery! If that’s the case, I always recommend starting with the studio. From where?




Acne is often difficult to heal. Even if we test it thoroughly, it is too troublesome for most customers to accept, even if it is thick enough to remain stable. They get caught and caught, they move a lot and often travel worse than the studio when dealing with swelling. Weather can also play a big role in this, and humid areas or places with constant weather conditions may experience more swelling, making it easier for pimples to heal together.




As I said above, I like to use the card for the first Helix Piercing customer. If the client is sure there will be major swelling, deep relief, it will probably be difficult to recover and may be affected by weather, health, allergies, etc. I don’t worry about excessive swelling issues due to it. The truth is that this actually accounts for 5-10% of my customers. Most people don’t want to deal with the possibility of a difficult recovery and don’t like the big hop look that comes with a first piercing. If your goal is to be small, small, light and small then you will cut it with a studio that is easy to heal with your style, let it heal and then turn it into your best hop. But if you’re someone who loves thick, oversized beauty, don’t mind your piercing being large-scale, and are ready to tackle the healing, let’s go for it!
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of big jewelry and lots of pieces, and my first nose piercing was with a 14 gram pearl ring (I got it changed in the studio about 5 months ago because I was 14 and wasn’t responsible enough to really heal with a hoop!)

However, drilling with studs alone cannot produce parts of the first helix. If so, respect that! It is designed to care for clients and find the best recovery. The studio may have seen many customers who were unhappy with the major aesthetic and requested replacement. They may have had many problems with recovery. You may be in an area where weather conditions make the inflatable very stressful and leaky, and getting rid of the
is very difficult. The piercer may not have any experience with piercing and may not want to cause you any trouble or trouble. Please respect that this policy is in place to ensure you have a safe and easy path to healing and healthy piercings. 9 We all know the jewelry we can buy, and we know that the choice of jewelry and style will affect the healing process. So what will this healing process look like? What about those scary seizures people see? Let’s talk about this.




Helix piercings, like most piercings, can take an average of 6-9 months to heal, up to a year. Due to medical conditions related to anatomy, lifestyle, climate, or jewelry selection, some people may find that this hole takes a year or even longer to heal properly and effectively. Rings in this area are known to take a year to heal, sometimes even longer. This is completely normal and if you are a slow healer when it comes to your spiral
stitches, do not despair; Most of us are. Side sleepers, people who wear listening devices at work, and people who stay quiet and calm down will be able to get out of this situation easily.




If you are particularly curious about true healing, I wrote an article about how beneficial true healing of the piercing is during helix piercing. Here’s another one discussing how to treat it.




Most customers will respond positively to spiral situations. They will bite you, as they get used to it you will probably rub them against your pillow, shirt and glasses a few times and before you know it they will heal and you can put them on and take them off without any problems. We’d love to see it!

When you lie on your side for hours at night, all the pressure usually pushes the coil sideways. Eventually the jewelery slides into the skin and begins to lie on its side. This step is permanent and can lead to very good results. You can help prevent migration by not sleeping on your coil and by shortening your coil to prevent excess length from being carried over when it is ready. My favorite trick is to use a travel pillow like the travel pillow people use at the airport and place my ear in a small position. So I can sleep all night without crushing my poor body. One of the most common reasons we see irritation in the helices is sleep, and this is what causes most of the swelling.




Have you been caught or stolen recently? Helices are very popular places where you can get beaten or grunted in some way. This can really aggravate the piercing. If so, and this is the cause of the rash, a little extra care and attention and a little time and patience is all that is needed for a successful recovery. What about getting sick soon? Flu or influenza? Maybe seasonal allergies or seasonal allergies? If you are sick and your whole body is sick, then the
piercing must be bad. Take care: A piercing can’t heal without healing first!

Then consider some other factors. What kind of jewelry did you get pierced? Did you choose a good repair product like a high quality titanium labret post or did you get a “one size fits all” gun piercing ring… Could it be metal? Did you prefer large and magnificent jewels that were drawn over and over again, or did you play it safe with something small and impossible to catch? Did you choose online and what recovery issues could this cause? As we discussed
above, certain types of jewelry can affect the healing of this piercing and you may experience problems due to the style, material and quality of the jewelry.




This may be an aftercare issue causing irritation. Often, clients can accidentally make the piercing more uncomfortable by placing products such as hairspray, gel, or dye into their coils. Sometimes it can be external things like wearing a mask, phone, or scarf.




Whatever the reason, if you have an issue or issue with your piercing, it’s important to talk to your piercer again to help you understand what’s causing the irritation and how you can deal with it. If it’s bad because you’re squeezing it, you may just need patience and time to heal. If having a cute ‘one size fits all’ butterfly on your back is annoying, you probably need better decoration. And if sleeping is uncomfortable, you may need to buy a travel pillow and change your plans to help your recovery. Your piercer’s job doesn’t end just because he does the piercing. A big part of our job is helping that piercing get better!







Circle please!




When talking about improving the spiral, the follow-up question is always: “When can I change the decorations now!” Many of them had intended to attend but decided to partner with the studio and want to know when they can achieve that goal! So let’s get started, change the decorations and find your target!

As I mentioned above, most helix piercings take 6-9 months to fully heal, but it’s not unusual for most people to take that long. The best time to change your jewelry is when the piercing has fully healed, so this solution varies from person to person. A person who heals easily and effectively can turn things around and make things easier after six months. Someone who is slowly recovering or who has experienced a loss that they have to endure may change their jewelry within 9 to 12 months. And someone who has gone through a very difficult recovery process and has always struggled with addiction may wait a year and a half to two years for everything to stabilize and heal properly before making a change.




The important thing to remember is that there are different definitions of “healing” when it comes to piercings. This is a must-read article to delve deeper into this article. But essentially, there are several ways to “heal” a piercing. There are times when the wound is still open and there is skin covering the tube. Although this skin is very fragile and can get damaged or broken a lot, many people think it is safe. Then, a growth of
tissues occurs, whereby the soft skin hardens and hardens. Imagine your skin or skin healing where you have soft and smooth dark brown skin and only a small part will break. Then healing occurs as it grows, continues and begins to change to the skin color or color of the scar. When we say that a piercing should heal completely, we usually mean that it is no longer just an open wound, but that the tissue is stable, strong and healthy.
For some people this process takes longer than others. I’m one of those people: I have an autoimmune skin condition called psoriasis that affects the skin on my body. My piercing is healing slowly and often with irritation and problems. Even if I get my healthy spot pierced, it often takes a long time for me to start wearing jewelry or jewelry. I’ll change something, look and scream and have to go back to something simple. This is because my
treatment affects the way my tissues grow and stops after the injury, and for me this means the treatment will last a long time. And this isn’t just limited to psoriasis; EDS, eczema, diabetes, PCOS, acne, and many more medical conditions can affect a person’s ability to heal.

I think as an industry we have this mindset of getting a piercing > healing the piercing > getting your jewelry done as a goal, and that should be an easy path, like this primer. But for most of us, this is not the case. For most of us, this process is like getting a piercing > drilling a hole > healing the hole > changing the jewelry > drilling the hole > changing it and waiting for a long time > taking your jewelry. And often there is a lot of overlap between these levels. I want to say this because I see so many
customers, myself included, who have a hard time getting their jewelry into the piercing! As a teenager and young man, I felt exhausted by what I had fought so hard for, especially the ear piercing job. Now, as a professional, I know my body is having a hard time healing, and that’s okay. If you’re someone who heals piercings and gets into your jewelry, this is great! But if not and it’s a bit of a hassle for you, know that it’s okay .







An article about migration




I did the migration by touching the spiral a bit above but I really regret not joining this blog. I would say the Helix Piercing is ​​one of the many things we see moving through every piercing. You often hear about things like surface piercings, nail piercings, and eye piercings. Piercings are generally the most common form of rejection. When this happens, they are actually pushed into the body. However, this is not the only type of migration that can occur.
The puncture and bending of angles over time with velocity, as in a spiral, is a form of displacement. Of course, you can usually continue with the piercing, but often it is now in a very interesting line and the jewelry may not look the way you want. You will often also experience anger and pain from the action, and this is usually permanent.

This move is no joke and I have seen more clients than I can count who have been heartbroken at having to remove the piercing and start over or the permanent scars left behind after the move. It is very important that you try not to sleep on it while it is healing, and this is one of the reasons why I recommend numbing one side of your head at a time. But in reality, we don’t really have control over what we do in our sleep. We can try it with things like travel pillows or by placing a small clip near our ear to prevent our hair from twisting. But some of us are fast asleep and will wander around. Therefore, shortening the period is very important. If you leave the original piercing jewelry in for too long, there is enough time for the rod to slip into the groove and put too much pressure on the tube, causing irritation and displacement. Make sure you limit the time limit your piercer gives you, and if you’re really worried, consider sending photos of the piercing to
and seeing if you’re up for it. Contraction will reduce excess text and reduce damage that can occur when you sleep on your side. By taking extra precautions, like downsizing and using the right pillow, we can significantly reduce the stress of moving and live happier, healthier lives.




So there you have it guys, a complete rundown of everything you need to think about in case your coil gets punctured! This popular piercing is one of my favorites and I honestly haven’t met anyone who thinks it doesn’t look good with a helix piercing. They swear loudly in every ear! I hope this article can help you prepare and make decisions regarding placement, decoration and aftercare. Good luck!

Most of the cartridge images in the cartridge jewelry section can be used for helical drilling. Some designs are clear, some are very loud. Helix Piercing is ​​a great place to create things of all shapes and sizes.

The typical thickness of the screw drill is 1.2 mm and the diameter is 6 mm. The most common sizes or balls are 3mm for balls and 4mm for stones.

Helix Piercing RINGS
Piercing rings are a good choice for Helix Piercingjewelry. There are many piercing rings available in different sizes, from simple rings to different jewelry. Whether you prefer a sleek design or more space for your ring, many spiral rings are available in a wide range of sizes.

The normal thickness of the Helix Piercing is ​​1.2 mm. The diagram gives you an idea of ​​what a spiral ring of each diameter might look like in your ear. Please note that it does not fit all ears, so you may need a different size.

OTHER Helix Piercing JEWELRY
You can make and wear different types of piercings on your helix. Besides the usual cartridge, ring and helical caps, there are also different styles to choose from.

Please note that regular earrings are smaller than piercings, so wearing them as spiral jewelry may shrink your piercing to the size of a ring.

cn-labret drilling
Flat backed labret studs are of helical drilling type. It may be easier to extend the ball or top from the front than on a studio cartridge that does not project from the rear. A straight back can also be good to wear.

cn-septum piercing
Consider a septum ring with a helix piercing to look better than a regular ring. These rings have engravings on the inside and are usually very large in diameter, although different types of helix piercings can also be interesting.
