Rook Piercing
Overview: The Rook Piercing is located above the tragus,” in the bed of the ear” parallel to the forward helix area, providing a unique vertical dimension to ear styling. This piercing is ideal for those seeking a subtle yet visually striking addition to their ear jewelry collection.
- Initial Piercing:
- Details: A 16g curved barbell, typically 8mm in length, made of implant grade titanium or 14k gold, designed to fit snugly within the ear's fold.
- Healed Piercing: Options include another decorative rook jewelry or a hinge ring, which can enhance the unique location and add elegance.
- Downsizing: Not typically necessary for rook piercings, as the jewelry can be switched to a hoop when healed.
- Aftercare Instructions:
-
- Saline Wash: Spray both the front and back of the stud with saline solution only twice a day, ideally in the morning and at night, to ensure the area remains clean and to promote healing.
- Jewelry Removal: Do not remove the jewelry at any time during the initial healing phase as the piercing may close. The jewelry should only be removed or changed when it's fully healed or when downsizing is required.
- Healing Time: Healing typically takes 6-9months. During this period, it is crucial to:
- Avoid Manipulation: Do not play with the jewelry by twisting or turning it, as this can irritate the piercing.
- Sleeping Habits: Avoid sleeping on the pierced side to prevent pressure and possible displacement of the jewelry.
- Caution: Be mindful to not hit or snag the jewelry on clothing, towels, or other objects to prevent injury and irritation.
- Variations: The Rook Piercing can be styled with various types of jewelry once healed, and some choose to pair it with other piercings like the tragus or helix for a fuller ear design.
