Many types of piercing, for example, tunnels in the earlobes or brutal rods in the nose, are preferred by representatives of informal movements, thus referring themselves to one or another group.

Considering all types of piercings, we can confidently say that ear piercings are the most common and popular solution for body decoration. Earlobes are pierced to children from a very early age.

Helix - a puncture of the upper part of the cartilage of the ear. There are no nerve endings and blood vessels in this part of the body, therefore, during a puncture, severe bleeding and pain do not occur, but discomfort is felt when manipulating the cartilage tissue. Jewelry for Helix is selected very carefully, because the hole in the cartilage does not stretch and the diameter of the earring must correspond to the size of the puncture. Helix heals for a long time and requires regular care.
