Forward Helix Earrings

A forward helix piercing is placed in the cartilage at the front of the ear where the outer rim meets the face. This small area can hold one, two, or even three piercings for a stacked look.

Forward helix piercings usually take around 6–9 months to fully heal, although healing time can vary depending on aftercare and individual factors. Wearing well-fitted forward helix jewellery can help support a smooth healing process.
