Helix Piercing

Compared to multiple studs piercings, the helix piercing looks elegant and stylish. In addition to being a fashion statement in itself, a single earring stud covering the entire upper region of the ear could also be highly adaptable to changing trends and traditions.

What Is Helix Piercing?

An upper ear piercing is an entirely different experience than a lower ear piercing. A survey found that those with upper ear piercings (helix piercings) feel stronger and more empowered.

You should wait until you are ready to get a piercing in general, regardless of whether you choose to pierce your nose, belly, or lip. Helix piercings are a great alternative.

Does a helix piercing hurt?

A forwarding helix will cause significant pain since cartilage is pierced, or at least more than a typical lobe piercing. This piercing hurts more than most cartilage piercings, so I’d rate it a 5 or 6.

Which piercing is the most painful?

The helix piercing is placed on the outer cartilage of the ear and on the top of the ear. The helix piercing is more painful because it is done through outer cartilage.

A jewel-encrusted round stud

An unpopular opinion holds that less is better. But how does that work?

A highly embellished helix piercing would not only look unappealing on the wearer but also to the eye. If you are interested in a subtle helix piercing design, you should pierce the ear cartilage with a partially curved stud.

Our list of ideas will give you an idea of some of the hottest and most accessible helix piercing styles.

A stunning golden helix piercing

The gold helix piercing, along with pointy studs, triangle gold earrings, and gold rings, all enhance your helix piercing. You would look stunning. You would also appear wealthy, a characteristic everyone wishes they had.

You can wear gold studs with almost anything. Pair a simple gold stud with a simple ring next to it. In addition to being attached to a gold ring as a tassel, the gold star can also be worn as a pendant. If you prefer, gold earrings with a diamond or a birthstone of sentimental value can complement your helix piercing.

Helix-shaped flower ear piercing

If you are a lover of floral objects, you might enjoy getting flower earrings pierced all over your upper cartilage.

A flower earring’s helix can be pierced in a variety of ways. Decide what type of earrings to wear first.

There are many color options to choose from, such as silver, gold, black, and more.

If you prefer, you may opt for a ring with almost three flowers on the front, and that is either too simple or embellished with jewels or jewel-like colors.

Choose dark-coloured, shiny magnified flower studs to ensure your eyes won’t miss them if you want to go overboard with floral earrings.

Helix piercings are placed in the curved upper part of the ear; if you have four or three in the same location, it is referred to as a twice or thrice helix piercing.

Additionally, elongated helix piercings are located at the point where the loop of your ear connects to your head. In this middle nook, there is an anti-helix or helix piercing.
