As someone with 9 piercings in total (Lobes, doubles, Helix, Rook, Conch, Belly button and Daith) here is how I’ve taken care of them: Even though some cartilage can take about 3 months to heal, it won’t be fully matured, so even though it’s a pain in the ass, still continue to wash/soak every piercing in saline solution every day. A good little trick is to buy a travel sized spray bottle and make your own ‘on the go’ salt spray with a few drops of tea tree oil and spray your piercings a few times a day. If you did an oopsie like me and got piercings on both ears and now have trouble sleeping, do yourself and your sleep schedule a favour and buy an airplane pillow, this allows you to sleep on your side with your ear fully secured away in the hole in the middle.

I got a triple flat helix last week and I feel like all my energy and my immune system is focused on healing the cartilage. I’ve become a wimp lol so I’ve been sleeping earlier and I’ve been getting tired easily because of the piercings. My hair does get caught on the back and it hurts! But I love it! I’m a wait until it’s fully healed then I’ll get the next ear done! 😂

It took me a year to fully heal my first cartilage piercing. I just got a second one on the same side, sometimes if I really feel like I have to lay on the side that is healing them I use a U shaped neck pillow and put my ear in the hole and the round curve of the pillow supports my head.

I had my helix done 2 weeks ago, it didn’t hurt when it was pierced and didn’t hurt after and still doesn’t hurt. Feels like it’s healed, no problems at all with it.

Makayla Jackson So long as you don't mess with it AT ALL and treat it like a newborn child while cleaning it then you're chances of developing a keloid are low.

@gaycowboy3402

Right. Keloids are due to a genetic thing and are rare and can only be removed with surgery. Irritation bumps are bumps that come up with irritation in the piercing, and they can go away after a cleaning, etc. Just try not to irritate your piercing and you'll be fine. :)

I have a cartilage piercing with the ball screwed on and I was wondering how do you take it out because mine is stuck

I got mine done about 3 and a half months ago. I stopped cleaning it after about a month because I ran out of solution which is super bad I know! I didn't sleep on it when I first got it done but now I occasionally I sleep on it but it doesn't hurt at all! And like maybe once every two days I touch it and it feels a little sore but not a lot. I'm picking up some cleaning solution tomorrow, wait till it doesn't hurt when I touch it and switch the stud because you cant really see it in my ear! This was a useful video thank you

I got two cartilage piercings about 7 months ago and they just finished healing completely. It took a while and a lot of patience and theyre finally at a point where they dont hurt at all anymore, and I'm looking to put a small ring in one of them, but I'm concerned about the ring getting caught on stuff more easily than the stud I have in right now. Anyone have any experience with this?

i got mine done 1 week ago and i have been avoiding sleeping on it, touching it , over cleaning it. yesterday for the first time i accidentally hit it about like 2 hours later i felt the soreness , pulsation , & a head ache , i was in pain big time. today i woke up and it doesn’t hurt or pulsate it’s just sore to clean & red but not swollen.

it took me an entire year to heal (+ get rid of keloids) on my industrial and tragus. and that was before I was able to take them out. My tragus swelled up to double the thickness of my unpierced one and it never went down so I can only wear rings. barbells are not an option for me. (tried barbells, unable to find anything that fits that area that isnt either too small or too big. Tried to put a barbell in once and it made me swell up and get more keloids.) And on my industrial, I got 'buffer'/'swelling' jewellery at 38mm and even after it's all healed, I can't go any smaller or else my ear will feel really tight and squished. also, my left lobe feels no pain, but my right lobe (whenever anything goes near it) hurts really really bad. I want to stretch but it hurts so much to put even normal earrings into my ears that idk if i'll ever be able to in that ear. (they were done with a gun when I was about 3. Would've got them done properly if I had the choice) I guess my body just doesn't like piercings lol

I've had my cartilage piercings for 3 years now and they never healed... my piercer used a curved barbell and it ended up angling the piercing, caused hypertrophic scarring from irritation. My piercer also never told me I should downsize jewelry after the initial healing period; to top it all off, I turned out to be allergic to surgical steel (it DOES have nickel) and once again, when I brought this up with my piercer years ago, he insisted that it was the BEST material I can get and didn't let me switch it for something else. He said I was having problems bc I was messing with them too much... And the only reason I even found all of this out was because the tiny af barbell he put in got loose and the front slipped off, and I ended up visiting the nearby piercing studio where I'm currently at. The first thing that piercer told me was there's absolutely no way I can ever wear a hoop in that piercing bc of how much it's angled and suggested that it'd be best for me to let them close and re-pierce. The piercing studio (old) was recommended to me by tons of people and had a great reputation. Shows that you shouldn't trust a studio just because of their rep - at the time, I wasn't aware of the big 3 brands of body jewelry so I assumed he knew best, but if I'd known that surgical steel isn't always the best, I would've gone to a different piercer.

my cartilage piercing was fine for 4 days but today I woke up with it extremely red and painful. I'm not sure how it happened because I haven't had any issues with it till this morning. It still has not gone away and it throbbing even more now.

I got double helix piercings in both ears yesterday, and now I'm only able to sleep on my back... it was pretty silly of me not to have thought of it before, but I should've done one ear first and then the other. I wish my piercer would've advised me on that ☹️

Would you recommend a captive bead ring or a barbell? I've heard rings are more prone to infections and uneven healing but I'm not sure if that's true... I think a ring looks prettier but if it's higher risk I will take a barbell for sure

Thank you. This was really informative. I'm thinking about getting my helix done shortly but I'm worried because of sleeping as I toss and turn at night without being aware of it. Is it worth getting done or is it too much of a risk?

Recently got my helix piercing with a piercing gun (yeah, now I know :\). Does anyone have info about re-piercing the holes with a needle or is it best to just leave it alone? I still have the original earrings in.

i did my double helix about 1 week ago. It stopped hurting too bad and the swelling went down after the first few days but now it’s swelling up bad and looks very irritated but i don’t see any signs of infection...i did what my piercer told me(clean twice a day with q-tips with salt water and dont move it) so i seriously have no idea what’s wrong with it😭😭😭

If you have long thicker hair like i did keep in mind it will snag on the back bar until u can change it out.

Wow my double helix was super varied heal time. One healed in 7 months and the other one is still not healed (going on year 2 soon). Sadly, I have upper lobe piercings that took longer than 2 months too.

Super helpful thank you 🙏🏼.

I have my tragus pierced and it's only been like one month and I can sleep on it perfectly fine I'm not saying you're wrong you are kind of right

I've had my double helix for 2 years. Never healed and so painful... I finally got so discouraged I took it out. Super pissed. And after everything I went through to maintain them, now have giant keloids and closed up holes. My heart is broken 💔 😭

Very informative!! Thank you
