How to get a rook piercing
It made me
very happy
 "WOW!! A beautiful piercing, and so easy to sit through"
How I did it: I'd seen rook piercings on the internet, and I didn't really think much to them, maybe because it looked quite painful to me. Then I seen an old friend who'd had it done, and in the flesh it looked so unique and cute, I decided I was definitely going to get that done, I asked her if it hurt and her reply was it never hurt really, just the healing part was most uncomfortable. I know I have a high pain tolerance so I put it into plan to one day have it done. I was currently healing another cartilage piercing so I put it off, got carried away in life, getting a new job etc, and had almost forgot about it. Then on a spare of the moment thing, I got my tragus done (at a salon), and wasn't happy with just the one so I went to my piecer, as I was waiting, I saw a picture of the rook, and after that I had the idea to get it done, and not just keep putting it off. So yesterday I went and had it done, my piecer warned me that it might hurt a lot because of the thickness. Well he did it freehand, and all I know he was cleaning my ear with an alcohol swab, then I felt a strange sensation, and my face flushed a bit, I felt a pushing on my ear and it was done!! I couldn't believe how quick it really was. Lessons & tips: It stings a bit afterwards, it felt really hot and it was very red, similar feeling to a tragus piercing really. I could sleep on it which was good. Its not even been there for 24 hours yet, but I am having no pain or swelling really. I hope it stays happy like it is now, because I have heard they can be quite cranky little piercings. I'd recommend getting a bioplast barbell as I've heard good reviews, plus I have bioplast jewellery in my rook and I have no problems.. Maybe its the luck of the draw, but it certainly is doing fine, painless, and not swollen. Resources: I use sea salt spray to boost the healing process, H2Ocean is good, and I am using standard ear piercing spray that was given to me to use on the tragus, and that is made by a company called Protat. At the moment I have not cleaned it, just used the sea salt spray as it makes it irritated if I touch it, so tomorrow I'll gently clean it. |

How I did it: As a Christmas present to myself, I went down the piercing shop with my mom. It was the most painful of my piercings so far, though only a 5.5 on a scale of 1-10. It bled and got the bump for months. It finally healed up at the 8 month mark. Read how I did it…

Nervous! But happy!
How I did it: I've wanted it done for a little while, after I saw it on a person on TV and I thought it was really cute. So, on my 16th birthday I went to get some piercings, I didn't get my rook, but I got my helix, thirds lobes and my belly done and 2 days after (which be today!) that I decided I wanted my rook pierced. So my friend, who wants her helix pierced tomorrow, asked if I wanted to come with her and her mum (she's too young and needs p… Read how I did it…

How I did it: like my tragus the rook was kind of a splur of the moment. Sure I researched it a bit, but I didn't wait a couple of years or anything like that, I wasn't set on getting it right away to be honest I was really scared. I had heard about all the people that said it was super painful, but I took out money for that or the anti-helix anyways. I went with my friends one of them decided to get her web pierced and I waited, then I decided to fina… Read how I did it…

Rook Piercing
3 months ago
I have my tragus (right ear) pierced and I am toying with the idea of another piercing because now everyone I know has a tragus piercing. I was thinking of getting my rook (left ear) pierced.
I am a bit wary of the pain though, and I can’t remember how much my tragus hurt as it was so long ago!!!
Birthday Piercing

I’d initially wanted a snug piercing, but my piercer was reluctant and convinced me to get this instead. I’m so glad I did! It’s so cute. The needle did hurt, but only as much as a helix piercing and, so far, it hasn’t stung or burned afterwards like my helix piercing did.
And I slept on it no problem last night!
Awesome.
I got my rook pierced about 11 days ago. Me and my friend decided we wanted to do it, and so we asked our parents, and we did it. We got there, and I went first. The lady got everything out, while changing her gloves like 22 times.
Bottom line, the actual piercing part didn’t hurt me, but it was very annoying. It was an irritating pulling feeling.
I was a little lightheaded after, but that’s about it. Mine never really hurt, but the back of my ear was REALLY sore. Now, 11 days later, it doesn’t hurt at all, and i can move it without any pain.
I highly recommend this piercing, because not a lot of people have it done. I don’t know anyone else besides my friend who has it done. Plus, if you have the right ears, it looks really nice:]

I’ve wanted forever to have this done… it just looks so awesome and not that many people have it so its kinda unique.. I’m just scared to get it because I don’t have a high tolerance for pain and I don’t want to get it done wrong or it get infected or it hurt like SUPER BUNCHES…but that probably won’t stop me lol

I am going to do this!
I have been quite busy the last few weeks so haven’t got round to getting it.
I plan to go talk to the piercer tomorrow and get it the next day (if the place is alright)
Problem is I’m going on holiday in a month and we will be swimming, i dunno if it will be healed enough by then?
