helix piercing

The average healing time for helix piercings is six to eight months.

Helix piercings in particular are prone to irritation when slept on.

Helix piercings are prone to keloid formation,and much more so when a piercing gun is used.

Sometimes, two helix piercings hold the same piece of jewelry, usually a barbell, which is called an industrial piercing.

Therefore, helix piercings are not usually painful.

Like all new piercings, helix piercings should be touched as little as possible.

First (bottom) lobe piercing and the top three helix piercings were originally done with studs, and were problematic.
