Forward Helix Piercing in Dublin

About forward helix piercing

A forward helix passes through the front section of the ear's outer cartilage rim, near where the ear joins the head. It creates a different look from a standard helix at the outer or upper edge. The available fold and space vary between ears, so an in-person assessment helps establish the position. If you already have a tragus or other nearby piercing, discuss the relationship between them so the pieces have room and the finished arrangement feels intentional.

Is this placement right for you?

Bring your glasses if the arms sit near the proposed position, and mention any headset you use regularly. A small area can look crowded when several decorative ends are placed close together, so consider scale as well as the number of piercings. Pictures of double or triple forward helixes are useful inspiration, but they are not a guarantee of the same arrangement on every ear. Ask the studio about suitable spacing, a possible staged approach and separate pricing for additional placements.

Jewellery and what is included

Basic starting jewellery is included in the €35 price. The front of the ear offers a compact space, making the size and profile of the visible end part of the design discussion. Ask to compare the available options and confirm any upgrade cost before the piercing begins.

Looking after your piercing

Take care around hair styling and keep cosmetic products away from the new piercing. Discuss your usual hair routine at the appointment so the advice fits your placement. If glasses or another everyday item catch the jewellery, ask the studio to review the fit rather than adjusting it yourself.

Follow the instructions given for your individual piercing. Ask the studio about any fit checks or jewellery changes during healing.
