Spiral Piercing Jewellery Spiral helix piercing is a multi-hole piercing that is also known as a triple helix. A spiral piercing is usually an ear piercing that consists of multiple piercing holes connected by a single piece of spiral jewellery which twists through each hole and around the rim of the ear.
What is a double helix earring?
Very similar to the helix piercing, the double helix piercing is a type of ear piercing that involves two piercings on the cartilage of your ear. The forward helix is a separate but related type of cartilage piercing along the forward section of your helix, opposite the usual location of the double helix.
What earrings go in forward helix?
Generally flat back stud earrings are the jewelry of choice for the forward helix piercing. It is also possible to wear small cartilage hoops in your forward helix piercing, but they may cause irritation and inflammation around the area.
How do you use a spiral helix?
“Spirals are worn through a single piercing, but because of their unique shape and design they give the illusion of multiple earrings. To put on a spiral, you put it in from the back of the ear, and once it’s through the hole, you twist it forward until the stone is sitting flat at the bottom of the earlobe.”
Does a front helix piercing hurt?
Pain and Healing Time Because a forward helix is pierced through cartilage, you can expect a fair amount of pain—or, at least, definitely more than a normal lobe piercing. “As with any piercing, you will typically feel a slight pinch and pressure—then it’s all over with,” says AJ St.
How painful is double helix piercing?
Pain Will Vary The general answer given by those that have had a double helix is that the pain falls into the medium level. It hurts more than getting just your earlobe pierced but less than some other body piercings. Any way you look at it that sharp pain of the actual piercing will only last a few seconds.

You may wear only a single cartilage earring, and that’s the main reason for which you may buy them as singular pieces most of the time. You may wear it on the upper part of your ear, aka the “cartilage.”
Are helix piercings unprofessional?
Cartilage piercings are almost universally accepted by even more conservative companies. As more and more people opt for multiple piercings throughout the ear, it’s difficult for employers to say no. If you have a cartilage piercing or two, it’s less likely to be frowned upon than other piercing types.
Is forward helix more painful than helix?
Pain and Healing Time Because a forward helix is pierced through cartilage, you can expect a fair amount of pain—or, at least, definitely more than a normal lobe piercing. “I would rate this piercing a 5 or 6 on a pain scale, just because cartilage tends to hurt a little more than other piercings.”
