Rook Piercing

A rook piercing is placed through the inner cartilage ridge of the ear, located above the daith and below the upper helix. This placement creates a distinctive layered look within the inner ear.

Curved barbells are the most common jewellery used for rook piercings because the curved shape follows the natural contour of the cartilage. Small clickers are also a popular option once the piercing has fully healed, making them ideal earrings for rook piercing.

Yes. Some people choose to wear small clickers or hoops in a rook piercing once it has healed. These styles can sit neatly within the inner cartilage ridge depending on the jewellery size and ear anatomy.

Rook piercings typically take 6–9 months to fully heal, although healing time can vary depending on aftercare and individual factors. Wearing well-fitted rook piercing jewellery can help support a smoother healing process.
