This trendy piercing tends to be done on the upper cartilage of the ear and it can be customized with different placements and jewelry styles.HOW PAINFUL IS IT?Helix piercings aren't pain free, but many people say that the helix hurts less than other cartilage piercings. From a scale of 1 to 10, people report that the helix pain level is between 5-7. HOW LONG DOES A HELIX PIERCING TAKE TO HEAL?A helix piercing can take from 6 months to an year to heal - but you need to take good care of it! Maintaining a cleaning routing with saline solution and following your piercer's aftercare recommendation are important for a faster healing.WHAT JEWELLERY SHOULD I USE?While helix piercings are traditionally decorated with small cartilage hoops, flat back and barbell earrings also look really nice if your outer ear cartilage is not super curvy.Here at Assolari.co you will find beautiful gold hoops and studs options for your helix.

However, due to its location, piercers around the world are saying this can be a hard piercing to heal, taking between 1 to 1.5 years. However, this is still a beautiful piercing located in the middle cartilage area of your ear and its location allows for a variety of stack creations. STYLING YOUR HELIX PIERCINGNote from our Owner Brunna: "Despite my Mid Helix taking longer to heal, I absolutely love this ear piercing as it allows me to make my favourite style combinations."CONCH PIERCING: 5 THINGS TO KNOWWHAT IS A CONCH PIERCING?The Conch is one of the most iconic ear piercings for its edgy location in the ear.Located in the centre part of the ear (the area with the most space), the conch can accommodate almost all earring sizes being very versatile in its curation.HOW PAINFUL IS A CONCH PIERCING?As with any other cartilage piercings, the conch tends to be more painful than the lobes. Pain, however, will vary among people.On a scale of 1 to 10, people report that the conch pain level is between 5-7. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAL?A conch piercing can take anywhere from 9 months to a year to heal.

The outer conch piercing is where the ear allows a ring to go around the outer edge of the ear cartilage.STYLING YOUR CONCH PIERCINGWARNING! Never go to a piercer who uses a piercing gun for any cartilage piercing. These guns force trauma to the cartilage which can cause bumps and keloids. (No thank you!) Additionally, guns harbor more bacteria than needles, which increases the likelihood of infection and healing time.BEST JEWELLERY FOR CARTILAGE PIERCINGSSelecting the right jewelry is crucial for ensuring your cartilage piercing heals smoothly and without complications. Certain metals, such as those containing nickel and other irritants, are not recommended for cartilage piercings, as they can cause inflammation and prolong the healing process, leading to complications.SOLID GOLD 14K AND 18K EARRINGSSolid gold jewelry, despite its higher price point, stands out as the optimal investment for cartilage piercings. Renowned for their hypoallergenic properties, solid gold pieces are safe for both fresh piercings and sensitive ears. Additionally, their durability ensures they can be comfortably worn around the clock without tarnishing or causing discoloration. Not only that, the natural brilliance of solid gold imparts an air of sophistication to any ensemble.

Firstly, they are hypoallergenic, making them a safe choice for individuals with sensitive skin. Their lightweight nature ensures comfortable wear, even for prolonged periods. Additionally, titanium's durability means these earrings are resistant to corrosion and tarnishing, guaranteeing long-lasting beauty. However, it's worth noting that titanium are naturally in a dark silver colour and even though there can be gold plating earrings available, it is worth remembering the plating will fade over time. Moreover, their hardness can pose a challenge for some piercers, potentially leading to longer healing times if not pierced correctly.STAINLESS STEEL EARRINGSStainless steel earrings are a popular choice for cartilage piercings, offering several benefits. Firstly, they are durable and resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term wear without deterioration. Additionally, stainless steel earrings are often more affordable compared to other materials, making them a budget-friendly option for many individuals. They also come in a wide variety of styles, allowing for versatile and stylish choices. However, it's important to note that stainless steel may contain nickel, which can cause allergic reactions in some people with sensitive skin. Furthermore, while stainless steel is generally hypoallergenic, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with nickel allergies. On this same note, stainless steel is naturally in silver colour, and any pieces in gold will be plated and will fade over time.

GROUP 3 PIERCINGS ARE: DAITH OR TRAGUSIn order to get your ears perfectly balanced and looking complete, your next piercing should be in the highlighted area above. These include a Daith or a Tragus"But how do I know which one is best for me? "The guides below will help you regarding the pain level, healing time and jewellery suggestions for each piercing. Take in consideration YOUR pain level and time/commitment that you will need for each piercing.Notes from our founder Brunna: "In my opinion, I would NOT MATCH Daith and Rook together, as they would look overcrowded"DAITH PIERCING: 5 THINGS TO KNOWWHAT IS A DAITH PIERCING?If you place your finger in your ear canal, you'll feel a fold of cartilage sticking out above the passageway. Move your finger upward. That flap of little cartilage above the entrance of the ear canal is your daith.HOW PAINFUL IS IT?Because of the awkward position in the ear, the daith must be pierced with a special curved needle, very delicately and slowly.However, many people state that Daith piercing pain can be described as dull pressure in the pierced area. On a scale 1 to 10, people report the pain to be between 7-9.HOW LONG DOES A FLAT PIERCING TAKE TO HEAL?Every ear is different, but Daith piercings usually fully heal within 6 to 12 months. The inner location of the piercing within the ear provides a natural safeguard against accidental bumps or entanglement with hair, thus promoting faster healing.WHAT JEWELLERY SHOULD I USE?Most professional piercers use a 16 gauge curved barbell or captive bead ring in this piercing.Before changing your earring for a beautiful statement piece, make sure your piercing is totally healed.STYLING YOUR DAITH PIERCINGGet inspiration from some of Assolari's unique Daith piercing styling ideas.TRAGUS PIERCING: THINGS TO KNOWThe tragus is located at the small and thick piece of cartilage that covers the opening of the ear canal. It usually has a rounded triangle shape, but can vary in size and shape from person to person.HOW PAINFUL IS IT?This is the top question people ask before getting a cartilage piercing. The good news? This piercing is not as scary as you may think.Most people say that the pain is sharp and short and rank it a 5 on a 10-point scale. However, pain is personal. HOW LONG DOES A FLAT PIERCING TAKE TO HEAL?Since there’s no one in the world quite like you– that makes it tricky to estimate healing time. A lot of things can influence a Tragu's healing time, but most people are fully healed within 3 to 12 months.WHAT JEWELLERY SHOULD I USE?By far, 16G cartilage studs are the most popular kind of tragus piercing jewelry.Don’t limit yourself, though! Teeny tiny hoops are another stunning option. Piercings allow you to express your individuality, so don’t be afraid to get creative.STYLING YOUR TRAGUS PIERCINGWARNING!

Moreover, their hardness can pose a challenge for some piercers, potentially leading to longer healing times if not pierced correctly.STAINLESS STEEL EARRINGSStainless steel earrings are a popular choice for cartilage piercings, offering several benefits. Firstly, they are durable and resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term wear without deterioration. Additionally, stainless steel earrings are often more affordable compared to other materials, making them a budget-friendly option for many individuals. They also come in a wide variety of styles, allowing for versatile and stylish choices. However, it's important to note that stainless steel may contain nickel, which can cause allergic reactions in some people with sensitive skin. Furthermore, while stainless steel is generally hypoallergenic, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with nickel allergies.

However, this is still a beautiful piercing located in the middle cartilage area of your ear and its location allows for a variety of stack creations. STYLING YOUR HELIX PIERCINGNote from our Owner Brunna: "Despite my Mid Helix taking longer to heal, I absolutely love this ear piercing as it allows me to make my favourite style combinations."CONCH PIERCING: 5 THINGS TO KNOWWHAT IS A CONCH PIERCING?The Conch is one of the most iconic ear piercings for its edgy location in the ear.Located in the centre part of the ear (the area with the most space), the conch can accommodate almost all earring sizes being very versatile in its curation.HOW PAINFUL IS A CONCH PIERCING?As with any other cartilage piercings, the conch tends to be more painful than the lobes.

Move your finger upward. That flap of little cartilage above the entrance of the ear canal is your daith.HOW PAINFUL IS IT?Because of the awkward position in the ear, the daith must be pierced with a special curved needle, very delicately and slowly.However, many people state that Daith piercing pain can be described as dull pressure in the pierced area. On a scale 1 to 10, people report the pain to be between 7-9.HOW LONG DOES A FLAT PIERCING TAKE TO HEAL?Every ear is different, but Daith piercings usually fully heal within 6 to 12 months.

Teeny tiny hoops are another stunning option. Piercings allow you to express your individuality, so don’t be afraid to get creative.STYLING YOUR TRAGUS PIERCINGWARNING! Never go to a piercer who uses a piercing gun for any cartilage piercing. These guns force trauma to the cartilage which can cause bumps and keloids. (No thank you!) Additionally, guns harbor more bacteria than needles, which increases the likelihood of infection and healing time.BEST JEWELLERY FOR CARTILAGE PIERCINGSSelecting the right jewelry is crucial for ensuring your cartilage piercing heals smoothly and without complications.

Certain metals, such as those containing nickel and other irritants, are not recommended for cartilage piercings, as they can cause inflammation and prolong the healing process, leading to complications.SOLID GOLD 14K AND 18K EARRINGSSolid gold jewelry, despite its higher price point, stands out as the optimal investment for cartilage piercings. Renowned for their hypoallergenic properties, solid gold pieces are safe for both fresh piercings and sensitive ears. Additionally, their durability ensures they can be comfortably worn around the clock without tarnishing or causing discoloration. Not only that, the natural brilliance of solid gold imparts an air of sophistication to any ensemble. Particularly for those with multiple ear piercings, incorporating solid gold earrings into a stack not only softens the overall aesthetic but also creates a stylish and distinctive look.TITANIUM EARRINGSTitanium earrings offer several advantages for cartilage piercings. Firstly, they are hypoallergenic, making them a safe choice for individuals with sensitive skin. Their lightweight nature ensures comfortable wear, even for prolonged periods. Additionally, titanium's durability means these earrings are resistant to corrosion and tarnishing, guaranteeing long-lasting beauty. However, it's worth noting that titanium are naturally in a dark silver colour and even though there can be gold plating earrings available, it is worth remembering the plating will fade over time. Moreover, their hardness can pose a challenge for some piercers, potentially leading to longer healing times if not pierced correctly.STAINLESS STEEL EARRINGSStainless steel earrings are a popular choice for cartilage piercings, offering several benefits. Firstly, they are durable and resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term wear without deterioration. Additionally, stainless steel earrings are often more affordable compared to other materials, making them a budget-friendly option for many individuals. They also come in a wide variety of styles, allowing for versatile and stylish choices. However, it's important to note that stainless steel may contain nickel, which can cause allergic reactions in some people with sensitive skin. Furthermore, while stainless steel is generally hypoallergenic, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with nickel allergies. On this same note, stainless steel is naturally in silver colour, and any pieces in gold will be plated and will fade over time.
