Helix

The helix is the upper outer ear cartilage. Popular for adding an edgy, contemporary style.

Forward Helix

The forward helix is the part on the upper cartilage, directly above the tragus.

Conch

The conch is the central cartilage area of the ear, resembling the shape of a conch shell.

Detailed Information on Process, Pain Scale, and Best Earrings.

Lobe

Process: The most popular and easiest piercing to heal. Suitable for all ages, including young children and babies.

Pain Scale: 3/10 — significantly lower than other piercings.

Best Earrings: Hoops, bars, or any design that matches your personal style. Always choose high-quality metals to avoid infection or irritation. Inform your piercer of any metal allergies.

Cost: Complimentary with any L&B earring.

Important Note: Even though lobes heal quickly, maintain regular cleaning twice daily with recommended aftercare lotion.

Upper Lobe

Process: Similar to the standard lobe, healing is typically quick and straightforward, taking around 4–6 weeks.

Pain Scale: 4/10 — slightly more sensitive than the standard lobe.

Best Earrings: Small studs or hoops that complement other piercings in your ear. Quality metals are crucial to prevent irritation.

Cost: Complimentary with any L&B earring.

Important Note: Clean regularly and avoid unnecessary handling to ensure proper healing

Tragus

Process: Healing takes 6–12 months due to cartilage thickness. Despite its thick appearance, the tragus has minimal nerve endings, causing more pressure than sharp pain.

Pain Scale: 5/10 — pressure more than actual pain, with mild swelling afterward.

Best Earrings: Smaller, dainty earrings initially; studs, mini hoops (6–8mm), crescents, bars, or trendy designs such as studs with dangling chains. The "snake bite" tragus (double piercing) is a stylish choice.

Cost: Complimentary with any L&B piercing earring.

Important Note: Avoid earphones during healing to prevent irritation or infection. Rarely, the body might reject the piercing due to the tragus’s small surface area.

Helix

Process: Individual healing of 6–12 months. Complete healing internally takes longer than external appearance suggests.

Pain Scale: 5/10 — similar to an upper lobe piercing.

Best Earrings: Studs recommended initially for easier healing. Hoops or bars available post-healing, carefully selected based on ear anatomy.

Cost: Complimentary with a purchase of any L&B earring.

Important Note: Always keep an earring in; cartilage piercings can close overnight. Listen to your piercer’s advice regarding suitable jewellery.

Forward Helix

Process: Delicate area with healing lasting 6–12 months. Even if the outside looks healed, the cartilage inside needs more time.

Pain Scale: 6/10

Best Earrings: Studs for initial piercings, especially double or triple forward helix piercings. Post-healing, smaller hoops or curated stacks are popular. Consult with your piercer for the best personalized look.

Cost: Complimentary piercing with a purchase of any Lark & Berry earring.

Important Note: Patience is crucial. Wait until fully healed before changing or downsizing jewellery.

Conch

Process: Healing usually takes between 6–12 months, with internal healing requiring careful attention.

Pain Scale: 6/10 — moderate pain, typically described as brief but sharp.

Best Earrings: Flat-back studs, hoops, or custom-designed earrings post-healing. Start with comfortable, low-profile studs for initial healing.

Cost: Complimentary piercing with a purchase of any L&B earring.

Important Note: Ensure thorough aftercare, and consider sleeping on the opposite side to avoid irritation.
