Helix

Helix Piercing

The helix piercing is one of the most popular ear piercings and is often the first choice for clients who want something beyond their earlobes. This type of piercing is typically placed along the outer rim of the ear, and can be done with threadless jewelry, which is a type of jewelry that doesn’t require a threaded post.

There has been much debate in the piercing industry about whether hoops or threadless jewelry are better for helix piercings. While threadless jewelry is often recommended, hoops can also be used as long as extra care is taken during the healing process. At your appointment, we will discuss any concerns you may have and help you choose the jewelry that best suits your lifestyle and the piercing.

It is important to downsize at the appropriate time to prevent the piercing from shifting and creating pressure bumps. If you have any questions about this, please refer to our Troubleshooting page. The many jewelry and placement options available for the helix piercing provide endless possibilities for beautiful styling, both for clients and piercers.
