The price of a helix piercing ranges from about $30 to $75, says Massick, but varies significantly depending on which type you choose and where you get it done. You can also get double or triple forward helix piercings. This tends to be slightly more painful than the standard helix piercing and takes longer to heal - about six to ten months. Placement depends on the shape of the cartilage on your ear.
Forward helix: Also known as an "anti-helix" piercing, this is located horizontally across from the standard helix piercing, on the cartilage at the front of the ear (closest to the face).Three piercings entail more pain than a single or double helix, but take the same amount of time to heal. Triple helix: This refers to three piercings in the upper outer cartilage - again, positioned in a vertical row.It's more painful than a single piercing but still takes three to six months to heal. Double helix: This refers to two piercings in the upper outer cartilage of the ear, usually stacked vertically with one on top of the other.It takes about three to six months to heal. This piercing is more painful than an earlobe piercing but less so than other helix piercings. Standard single helix piercing: Located in the upper outer cartilage, near the rim of the ear.Here's what to expect from each, according to Susan Massick, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. There are several types of helix piercings to choose from, each of which is in different locations on the ear.
