The following helix piercing ideas are amazing and will dazzle you! What’s great about them is that they fit to each style. Going for a helix piercing or a forward helix piercing or even both will have a positive impact on your look. In addition, you’ll be your trendiest self with affordable and cool jewelry to decorate your ears.
The pain factor
The pain level between a helix and a forward helix piercing is considerable. The forward helix will be more painful than the regular one because that area is more sensitive. On a scale from 1 to 10, a forward helix piercing will reach 6, while a normal helix will stay at 2. However, your pain tolerance might be higher than these stats.
The cleaning routine
Like any other piercing, this type will need regular cleaning. All the general cleaning rules apply to it. Also, you might want to avoid sleeping on the pierced ear, going swimming and playing with your piercing for a while. Since you’re piercing your cartilage, it will take longer to heal than a lip piercing for example. Therefore, you need patience to care for it regularly until it heals.
