Omg did it hurt I want to do it myself😭😭

@@teresamora147 it's been 3 months and it still hurts when it get hits but honestly it's worth it , if you want it , get it

@@teresamora147 i just got mine and it doesn't hurt that bad

@@teresamora147 no it did not hurt AT ALL

I got mine and the healing process doesn’t hurt for me, it’s a bit tender to touch around that area and it’s sore the first 2 days but honestly it’s worth it

During your healing period did it flare up often? Or sore to touch? Also how does it feel now? Thank you. I'm a month in and its sore to touch.

@@shalini3327 its been a day since I did mine on my own and yes sore to touch it's completely normal! Just clean it daily and make sure it doesnt get irritated

@@shalini3327 you need to clean it. But don't irritate it too much. Do you keep on touching the area after you clean it and move it around? This could be the problem. If not, go back to the place you got it pierced.

@MADISON TINEO it doesn't matter what side, as along you are happy of where it's going to be and keep it clean to speed up the healing process.

With gun or needle?

Yess

@@florianschmidt5828 I like ur name lol

Except they are piercers so.....

They've pierced hundreds of people before though. Only thing it would change if the has piercings would try that he knows the pain. Other than that he knows his client's experiences

I don’t trust piercers who have no piercings. Like tattoo artists who have zero tats like ???

Isa S , they don’t practice on themselves. They aren’t their own client

@@isas8627 So you won’t trust a surgeon who’s never had sugery? 😂

o good luck with healing!! take ibprophen after u get pierced to help with swelling cause you ear finna be SWOLLEN af

Mine was so fast

Considering getting mine done; thank you so much for sharing your experience and updating afterwards! 😁

Hey, how has tour healing been? I’m getting my done and I’m quite nervous is going to hurt and heal badly. Also getting infected makes me nervous. Do you like clean it?

Thank you so much for this. I'm getting mine tomorrow and I'm soo scared. I have a double lobe piercing and the pain was like nothing. But I do have a low pain tolerance so thank you😊

How long does the pain last ? I have a low pin tolerance myself and I'm a bit scared

honestly it hurt about as much as a gardasil vaccine - thick needle, but not too terrible. I felt the paint more during the healing process- gotta make sure to care for it!

Hello , please can you share you experience about what you did for healing

Hajar sal, I cleaned it twice to 3 times a day, turned it, & never slept on it.

Nana Cole x6 what did you clean it with

@@amandajoseph8325 My helix was done at Claire’s back in 2014. Was a “defying act” to my ex-husband of 35 years(divorce was late 2014) & now I know NOT to go there for piercings. They gave me a big bottle of their cleaner & I religiously cleaned & turned it twice a day, for about 4 months. I was blessed to have no problems.

@@nana-x9 what do you mean when you say when you turn it? I clean it using water and soap and don’t tend to touch it apart from that.

I have a double helix. When I originally got it I got baby studs put in because of how thick and curly my hair is and because I wear glasses. I twist it twice a day and clean it in the morning and at night after I shower and I avoid laying on it. But I highly suggest getting it it’s not really as much of a hassle as he makes it sound

i have a double helix and its so easy to care for and its so prettyy. just make sure not to sleep on it but i totally recommend it

Triple Helix wooop wooop 😂🥰

@@addytufts2098 for how long i shouldnt sleep on it?

@@sarahgaston242 I got a double helix today too. Hurt like heck, really sore, but it looks good and I can't wait to do a tragus on my other ear :)

Jenny Bjørgen Røstad how’d it go?

@@dieyuhhh6703; It was not painful AT ALL. This was my first time piercing with a needle (i have 4 other lobe piercings, pierced with a gun) and I have to say: it did not feel as painful with a needle as it did with a gun! My ear didnt feel as stung as it did with the gun. Also needle is much better for your ear (research it!). I got my helix pierced 6 days ago. It did bleed a tiny, tiny bit the first four days (not a lot - and i didn't do anything expect rinsing it off with water and spraying with the salt water I bought were I got my piercing). Right now I forget that it's even there, because it dont hurt at all. Expect when i accidentally touch it or something like that. Its healing extremely well and i cant wait for it to compltely heal so i can try different jewlery. Oh! And something i'm so grateful for is piercing the ear i do not sleep on. Because of this, my sleeping has not been ruined by my new piercing. Its not recomended to sleep on your new piercing. You could sleep with a travel pillow or something, if you do pierce the ear you sleep on. Lots of tips on the internet. I truly (!!) recommend going to a professional piercer and doing lots of research (!!!), because the healing time is a loong process, and having knowledge about how to care for your fresh piercing and also what to expect after getting one is important.

How did It go, I had mine done today

@@jennybjrgenrstad4403 we both have 4 lobe piercings and both had it done with a gun, I really want my helix done with a needle, feel more Confident now EEEK

Jenny Bjørgen Røstad thank you!! I have my 3 lobes (with a gun:() but going to get a helix piercing today! Professionally with a needle!

This is amazing!! Thank you!!

Was it done by a gun or a needle ?

If someone was low pain tolerance, would you recommend it? I’ve had two lobe piercings, so is it like that?

@@briannarobichaud9686 it’s a bit more painful than lobes, but for me it didn’t hurt at all while being pierced (obviously pain is different for everyone). The only bit that kinda hurt was when they exchanged the needle for the jewellery. But still, that wasn’t that painful. I think with low pain tolerance, you’ll be absolutely fine. My advice is to not over think it as that WILL make it worse I also recommend getting a stud instead of a ring first, rings take longer to heal and also leaves the hole in your ear bent rather than straight because rings are obviously curved not straight Good luck if you get it though, I’m sure it’ll look amazing:)))

did it heal well? I'm considering doing it myself

I’m getting mine tmrw! How would u rate the pain of getting it pierced I’m scaredddd

@@giannacaruso913 how did it go!

How did it goo! UwU

hey , I had my helix for 5 months do you know when likely I can change piercing

@@desiraebrown227 I had my helix 4 months ago and I've changed to a ring. So far it doesn't hurt much, but it's different for everyone

Ellie Stretch I’m getting mine tomorrow

Hi! I just got my helix like a day or two ago, im very nervous about this healing process so I’ve literally been watching a bunch of videos and asking all of the commenters with helixes about their experiences! Can i ask how your helix is doing now?

How long did the redness and swelling take to heal? I had mine 3 days ago and its still red an hurts when i touch it🤷🏻‍♂️

How long does the pain lasts ?also when when r u finally able to sleep on the side again .i always sleep on side and I'm getting both sides pierced so I'm a bit scared

@@marialovesmarklee after 3 weeks i could sleep on it normally and move my ear also without pain unless i slap it then it hurts like hell

@@elieme7719 thanks for the help.i got my lobe peirced today

How long did you wait to change it?

how did it go?? I think im going to get mine done sunday for my birthday. did it hurt? 1-10

just got mine yesterday and im 17 ,it hurts like hell maybe cause I got a conch too

i get 2 piercings every year since 2018 and i got a helix this time

How long does the pain last ?

@@marialovesmarklee Hey! Hope youre doing good. Umm, my ears just felt hot afterwards, I don't remember feeling any pain at all, even after days. Just felt weird if I slept on em. But if the piercing gets stuck in the hair or pullover, you're up for a ride of panic and some pain🤣 I got little piercing bumps on both my piercings after 4 months or so, and that was such a pain in the a**. Like not literal pain but it wasn't comfortable. But they slowly dissolved after some time and remedies😷 Mine is 6 months old now and no problem at all. I got em done because our schools were closed due to lockdown, and lol who was gonna ask. But shortly after that, schools reopened. But I'm tall and my piercings pretty much hide in the folds, nobody could see it🤣 I thought they'd scold if I got more piercings anywhere else than lobes, but nope😙 So go for it😁 even if it hurts, it's worth it.

@@suyashaandotra5086 thanks 😊

Ikr I just got mine done today and it hurts already it didn't hurt when I got it done just a few hours after xD

GACHA SCARED I’m getting mine done soon- i’m scared😂 I have been thinking for few days now

@@notjess9698 you might have already had it done but don't worry! I got mine a few days ago and it was fine :)

I got mine done a few days ago and now it’s hot and pink. Done all the cleaning, about to do a saltwater solution to soak it.

@@gachascared8844 got mine last night. It’s true it hurts only after a few hours. Hope it will heal quickly

Same! I just got mine pierced a few days ago and it doesnt hurt at all.. the ear is kinda pink but nothing too noticeable.. I also don't sleep on the side of the piercing so maybe that helps? Only time it hurts is if someone yanks on it (accidentally) but other than that love the hoop in my helix ♡

i’m trying to convince my parents to allow me to get one 😭 ALSO we have the same last name! haha

D Lockhart good luck. I hope they let you. But yeah, im liking you last name too😂

YO SAMEEEE. My mum let me get mine pierced for my 15th birthday and I have a 14k gold hoop. Idk why but I can't relate to the agonizing pain everyone's talking about??? Maybe it's my pain tolerance but unless it's accidentally bumped it's 100% fine. And there been many night where I could comfortably sleep on it (not too hard but there little to no pain.) Hoops were more convenient for me but like you said... Everyone's experience is just different ig 🤣🤣🤣

I was worried when he said no hoop too 😂. In my head I was like “holy cannoli I did that”

Howd it go?

that just means on both ears right ? how was it sleeping on them ?

Jamani Johnson nope! Same ear. Sleeping was okay, not long after I got my snug on my other ear so I would rotate sleeping sides everyday and try to sleep on my back when I wasn’t fully asleep but they are healing great!

Hey , I had my helix pierced for 5 months do you know I can change the piercing

@@desiraebrown227 it should be fine to switch to a shorter bar. Try that before moving to rings, since it is still technically healing. A shorter bar will make sure it heals nicely.

I did the same. Mine was two years and it still wouldn’t heal so I took it out 😭

is there a way to know a head of time if your ear will reject it ?

@@Nikki-fl6op i think that the best thing you can do is too look after the way it's healed. my piercing was still verry sore after 12 months. It was still red and thick and easly irritated. for me that was a sign that is was not good XD but my earlobes healed terrible too, so if you know that your body heals difficault you can know.

@@juditha2512 Yess I took mine out after about a year of infections... Just got it re do in a slightly lower place oops- let's see if it works this time.. Also, my earlobes both healed perfectly but not first helix so yeah it's trial and error I guess

Are u getting it on one ear or both ears coz I’m getting my done in two day but I can’t decide

@@laiba8220 I just had one pierced (done now!) and it was actually nowhere near as bad as I expected. If you’re worried about pain, I personally would have been fine getting both done, but I just got one because I prefer the look. After the initial piercing there was basically no pain until I accidentally rolled onto the ear in my sleep lol

I’m getting mine on Saturday, how do you do the aftercare?

i have 4 sets of piercings and i got my helix pierced today! honestly makes your ears look really cool and beautiful

Did you wait the full 9 months before you downsized? My piercer wants to change it after just a month. Its healing fine. Just want to see what others have done. Thanks!

I think you could get a bump on the piercing.

you could get bumps because of the pressure points rings can cause. also the constant movement of the ring cause cause issues, and these bumps won't go away unless u put a flat back or stud in

the main issue isn't the bumps, usually the ring can move bacteria around much more easily into the piercing, causing a longer healing time

Keloid 😬

how is it now?

@@emiemi666 it’s great most people say that it takes a while to heal so that you can change the earring but mine was all good

@@Lilo13082 when did you change it?

@@colomccarter4774 I kept it in for a bit as I was scared it would heal but then I had to change it so like 3 months after

Ur telling me i have to be in constant pain for MONTHS?

@@shehannaalharthi9247 it depends on ur ear..it's different for people...for someone might take 2 months and for other one might take 10 month to a year for being totally fine without any pain

@@Jasmine-wz8ig I understand that it takes up to a year to HEAL but PAIN?

@@shehannaalharthi9247 yeah most of the times i had pain...anyways also care alot when u r gonna choose ur piercing..dont choose a big and heavy one

yessss i just pierced my 2nd lobes and double helix about a week ago and the healing process is going horrible for the helix piercings my ear is so red and swollen it hurts really bad but i think it’s of the jewelry that was used (surgical steel)

2-4 weeks usually

@@Shopluluave thank you!

Oh nu, is ok now? 🥺

Got mine done 6 days ago. I feel your pain! For the first 4 days it was a breeze, since then, ridiculously swollen, painful & throbbing. I love how it looks though! Think this is going to be my toughest heal of all my piercings.

❤️❤️❤️

you could try putting a blanket under your head! it worked for me!

When did u change it ?

what kind of jewellery you were wearing when it was newly pierced?

Mine is doing the same thing. How are yours now ?

@@valeriekangwamakayi4658 one is completely healed and I took out the other one.

does mustard oil work, I saw that you're not supposed to put any oil and petroleum jelly because it clogs the piercing

@@saudbakhsh3 it does work.... Mustard oil or coconut oil... I use them both for my piercings and they help alottttt... like when my piercing is paining these oils just make it fine

We can help you with that in our studio when you visit. Our dedication staff is experienced and knowledgeable and can help you find the right jewelry for your piercings without any complications. For initial piercings we pierce with longer or larger jewelry to compensate for the swelling.

Were they long enough to leave space between your ear and the ends on each side? It would be impressive (though still bad) if your skin was healing over them even with a long bar.
