About helix piercing
The helix is the curved outer edge of the ear's cartilage. A piercing along this rim can sit higher or lower depending on your ear and the arrangement you have in mind. It differs from a forward helix, which is closer to the face, and a conch, which sits within the ear's bowl. If you are choosing between them, look at the whole ear together: the position of a small piece can change how it relates to your existing jewellery.
Is this placement right for you?
Consider where your glasses, headphones, helmets or work headset touch your ear. These everyday details are worth discussing before selecting a position. Show the piercer a reference picture if you have one, while allowing the final placement to be adapted to your own ear. If you are interested in a double or triple arrangement, ask about a staged plan and the full price. The €30 listing is for a helix piercing, not a published package for several placements.
Jewellery and what is included
Your €30 helix piercing includes basic jewellery. The initial piece needs to suit the chosen position; a photograph of a finished look is a starting point for discussion. Ask which pieces are available for your appointment and whether your preferred decorative option changes the total price.
Looking after your piercing
Keep direct sleeping pressure off a new cartilage piercing. Tell the studio how you usually sleep and ask for practical guidance for your helix position. Keep the original jewellery in place unless your piercer advises a change, and check with them before trying a different style.
Follow the instructions given for your individual piercing. Ask the studio about any fit checks or jewellery changes during healing.
