What Is a Helix Piercing?
A helix piercing is placed through the outer upper rim of the ear cartilage. It's one of the most popular cartilage piercings and is loved for its versatility, allowing you to create everything from a simple, elegant look to a fully curated ear.
Helix piercings can be worn individually or combined to create unique ear stacks with different jewellery styles.
Types of Helix Piercings
At Rènü Dermatology, we offer a range of helix piercing options, including:
Single Helix
A classic cartilage piercing placed along the outer rim of the ear.
Double Helix
Two helix piercings positioned together for a balanced, modern look.
Triple Helix
Three evenly spaced helix piercings that create a striking ear curation.
Upper Helix
Positioned higher on the outer rim of the ear for a refined appearance.
Mid Helix
Placed through the middle section of the outer cartilage.
Low Helix
Located lower on the helix, closer to the lobe, making it perfect for combining with lobe piercings.
We'll assess your anatomy and help you choose the placement that best suits your ear.
