  • Helix Piercing: Placed on the upper cartilage of the ear, the helix piercing offers a stylish and edgy look.

The Importance of Choosing a Trusted Piercer

When considering getting multiple ear piercings, it is crucial to choose a trusted piercer who uses a needle rather than a piercing gun. While piercing guns may seem convenient, they can cause more harm than good. Needle piercings are generally safer and less traumatic to the tissue, reducing the risk of complications such as infections and excessive scarring. A professional piercer will also provide proper aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.

By opting for a trusted piercer, you can have peace of mind knowing that your ear piercings are being done with precision and care, minimizing any potential risks.

Here at Porterfi, we host ear piercing events on the west side of Cleveland multiple times a year. We work closely with professional piercers from Columbus, Ohio who also craft their piercing jewelry in 14k yellow, rose, and white gold. Say goodbye to boring, round piercing studs! Their collection from Stargazer Fine Jewelry features a wide range of styles and aesthetics using precious and semi-precious stones. 

How to Choose Which Piercing is Best for You

Believe it or not, everyone's ear anatomy is different. Some people may have a enough room for a daith piercing, while other's won't have enough space on that particular ridge. Some people's ears fold in more at the top, making a basic helix piercing more limited to hoops, and some have longer lobes, perfect for stacking tiny studs on top of each other. 

Our suggestion is to come to one of our events with some photos of layouts that you are drawn to. You'll discuss your interests, have your ear assessed, and you'll discuss your lifestyle with the professional piercers to narrow down which placements will work best for you. Sometimes you might find the perfect earring before you have the piercing which will influence placement.

These events are a ton of fun to attend with your friends and family. Whether you're bringing in your young child for their first studs, doing a "mommy-and-me" piercing with your teenage daughter, or just looking to freshen up your own ear game, booking an appointment ahead of time is always highly recommended.
