Long time no posts! It's been a crazy couple of weeks work wise, but I took time to get something done for myself this weekend - I got a helix piercing. Since it's cartilage rather than flesh, it hurt a bit more than my existing earlobe piercings, and it's still a bit sore, compared to my lobes, which stopped hurting virtually immediately.
The piece of jewellery is a crescent cluster by a brand called Anatometal, and it's gorgeous - it's very sparkly, comparatively quite feminine compared to other cartilage piercings I've seen, and fits snugly into the shape of my ear. Despite being seven stones broad, it sits in a single hole, so the effect is much more dramatic than the actual piercing itself!

That's a gorgeous earring! I had to let my helix piercing grow over, sadly (my skin just doesn't do well with piercings) but I got some great jewellery from Pierced and Modified UK whilst I had it, if you're looking for more sparklies. :-)

Oooh, thanks for the tip! Always after more sparklies :)
Deletei love the look of these but I can't because I have no curve to my ears, they are way to small to do such a piercing. Ive been looking at getting though my Helix, but I've been to chicken shit because I heard it hurts like a B. What a gorgeous piercing thought !!

The brand, Anatometal, do some smaller ones - this is probably the biggest one they do! It doesn't really hurt that much - the piercing itself is more impact and heat than it is anything else, but I found mine was sore for four days afterwards. If the pain is holding you back, just go for it, it really doesn't last long!
