Piercing Tragus: style, meaning and care
The helix piercing is one of the most popular and versatile ear piercings. It is made in the upper part of the external cartilage and stands out for its ability to adapt to all types of styles, from the most minimalist to the most elaborate combinations.
Thanks to its location, the helix allows you to play with different jewelry and create personalized compositions together with other ear piercings.
Where is the helix piercing placed?
The helix piercing is placed on the upper edge of the ear cartilage, a firm area that provides good support for the jewelry. It can be carried out individually or in multiples, giving rise to very common double or triple combinations.
Since cartilage is involved, drilling should always be performed by a professional to ensure accuracy, safety and proper healing.

– Minimalist or decorative jewelry
The choice of jewelry influences both the comfort and the evolution of the healing process.
