When it comes to ear piercings, the possibilities are endless. From classic lobe piercings to more intricate cartilage arrangements, there's a style to suit every vibe. One such stylish option that's been gaining popularity is the flat helix piercing. This unique placement offers a fresh take on traditional ear piercings, allowing for creative expression and individual flair. In this article, we'll delve into the details of flat helix piercings, exploring what they are and the stunning jewelry options that complement them.
What is a Flat Helix Piercing?
A flat helix piercing is a type of ear piercing that sits along the flat portion of the upper rim of the ear, adjacent to the helix -- Unlike standard helix piercings that puncture the curved outer rim. This positioning adds a touch of sophistication and uniqueness to your ear piercings layout.
Like many piercings, flat helix placement is anatomy dependent. While some people have plenty of flat space, other ears have more curves and bumps that may impact where the piercing can be placed.
Why Choose a Flat Helix Piercing?
The appeal of flat helix piercings lies in their versatility and visual impact. By opting for this placement, you can create a striking focal point on your ear without overpowering your overall look. Whether you're a fan of minimalist styles or bold statements, the flat helix piercing offers endless possibilities for personalization.
Jewelry for Flat Helix Piercings:
For initial piercing jewelry, a flat back stud will be best! Small and simple pieces will be easiest to heal as well. Once the piercing has healed, the jewelry can be replaced with a larger piece, something dangly, or even a piece with a chain that attaches to another piercing.
