Of the popular types of piercing this is the most discreet and without any prejudice because it is seen as an earring. It doesn't get weird looks on the street because it's popular and many artists use it. It was so popular in the 90s that any pharmacy or jewelry store would offer the application for a measly R$10 (do you remember?). Anyone over 30 remembers a pistol and a small display case with piercing earrings, right? The method of application has not changed, only jewelry is more modern.
Piercing no helix do?
O no helix piercing it is considered one of the safest because it involves a region with cartilage but without veins or arteries. What is this good for? Even an application to the unmarked site cannot cause bleeding. Blood is actually rare in this type of application and is restricted to a few drops.
The application of this type of jewelry it's done with a gun like it was in the 90's or a catheter, it depends on the studio and the applicator. Both ways are quick and simple. In the case of the pistol, the earring is fitted on both sides of the device, one with the earring and the other with the screw and then just close it in the same way as using a gun. With the catheter, the hole is made and then the earring is fitted on both sides in a few seconds.
The big question is: does cartilage piercing hurt? You should feel a slight soreness from the cartilage hole. After all, she will be pierced and that can bother a little. You should hear a loud, intense sound when drilling the hole because it's bone drilling and you'll feel a slight burn, but no more than that. It's a simple, quick application, leaves sensitive skin feeling sore for a few hours but no more than that.
Caring for your helix piercing
As with all jeweled body art application the skin will be pierced and that is a wound. It opens the skin and forces the body to restructure and create cells to close the hole. In the first few days it should hurt a little, be sensitive to the touch but nothing more than that and care is essential.
In the first fifteen days the earring should not be changed and cleaning should be constant. The most common thing is to accidentally hook the comb or your towel, so try to comb your hair carefully. During the bath wash the region normally or you can do the asepsis afterwards with a cotton and put healing medicine if you wish. Never touch the region with dirty hands or place any dirty objects in the area.
Common symptoms after piercing for two or three days are burning, mild pain and sensitivity to touch or when sleeping. Bleeding, if it happens, should stop on the same day in a few hours or even minutes. More than that is a sign of infection and a doctor should be sought. Recurrent bleeding, bad smell, pain, fever, pus or liquid oozing from the hole are symptoms of infection and the right thing is to remove the jewel and go to a hospital.
Price
For the first time application (the puncture) it is indicated to use a stainless steel jewelry known as surgical steel to avoid infection or allergy. Do not open it and ask the professional to perform the asepsis properly. Some applicators already sell the product together with the cost of the hole, but you can find it in online stores, jewelry stores or tattoo parlors to sell it.
Cartilage piercing prices vary according to the region and the reputation of the professional or his studio location. It can cost from BRL 30 to over BRL 1, but it is not usually expensive because it is a simple and fast service. Take it easy before hiring and our recommendation is not to try to drill at home due to the risk of infection. The position of the hole also influences not to crack the cartilage and cause problems. The type of metal also affects the price. The most expensive is gold and the cheapest is stainless steel.
Models and photos
Are you thinking of putting a no helix piercing? Surely there is a model that you like. Once healed, there is the advantage that this model does not close, you can take it off for as long as you want and hide it with your hair if you don't want to show anyone your jewel. Models will not be lacking to make you join the trend.
Hoop – is one of the most popular but it is not the same as putting it on the nose because it would be loose and it would look down. The ideal is to buy the smallest ones to wrap the ear well and not leave spaces to hook on everyday items such as towel and comb.
Scaffolding – there are other nicknames such as double balls, balls, hooks… the model requires two holes to fit and is one of the best sellers.
Earring style – there are even piercing models or you can buy a regular earring with a stud and apply it normally without any problems. One of the advantages of this application model is that it allows any jewelry to fit without problem.
Different – like all body art, the cool thing is to dare in the model and style, isn't it? Use and abuse creativity to choose your jewel!
