I got my helix pierced earlier this summer when I was told that my broken foot would keep me from riding my motorcycle for the rest of the season. I had been holding off on getting my industrial and helix piercings, because wearing my motorcycle helmet would irritate them.
I got my helix pierced first to make sure I could deal with a cartilage piercing. It didn’t hurt as bad as I had expected it to.
The helix piercing got infected one week after piercing, but after going to the doctor (and listening to them lecture me about how piercings are bad – yeah, don’t care!) I got some antibiotics and things were all set.
I want to go and get my industrial as soon as my helix is healed! I know the industrial will probably take longer to heal, but I have wanted this piercing for over a year!
