What Is a Double Helix Piercing?

A double helix piercing refers to two piercings placed closely together on the helix region (the outer rim) of the upper ear cartilage.
Typically, the two holes are aligned vertically or slightly staggered, creating a “double-helix” visual effect.
Unlike a single helix piercing, the double helix offers more scope for creative jewellery and styling, making it a favourite for those seeking both subtlety and impact.


Why Choose Double Helix Piercing?

  • Enhanced visual appeal: The dual placement adds symmetry and gives you more room to express your personal style with matching studs, hoops or mixed jewellery.

  • Tailored local service: Getting your double helix piercing means access to local studios familiar with the anatomy, climate, and after-care culture that best suits you.

  • Quality and safety: In the cartilage zone, technique, hygiene and jewellery quality matter more than ever. By choosing a professional service in Kollam, you reduce risks and improve healing outcomes.

  • Versatility: Whether you prefer minimalist studs or bold hoops, the double helix placement gives you flexibility to change up your look once healed.


The Procedure for Double Helix Piercing

  1. Consultation & placement check – Our piercer assesses your ear shape, cartilage thickness and placement options to determine the best fit for your double helix piercing.

  2. Marking & hygiene – The two sites for your double helix piercing are carefully marked, cleaned and prepared. Cartilage piercings must always be done with sterile needles — not guns.

  3. Jewellery insertion – After piercing, high-quality jewellery (surgical steel, titanium or 14k gold) is inserted and secured.

  4. Initial after-care briefing – You’ll receive instructions on how to care for your double helix piercing, what to expect, and how to monitor healing.

  5. Follow-up – We recommend returning for a check-in to ensure your double helix piercings are healing well and to adjust jewellery if needed.


Types & Placement Options for Double Helix Piercing

  • Standard double helix: Two piercings along the upper outer rim of the ear.

  • Forward double helix: Two piercings in the front cartilage part of the upper ear, closer to where the ear meets the head.

  • Custom placement: Based on your anatomy and style, we can adapt the double helix piercing to best suit you – for example slightly lower or angled placements.


What to Expect: Pain, Healing & Timeline

  • Pain – Because cartilage is denser than the earlobe, you may feel a quick pinch or pressure during the double helix piercing. But many clients report that it’s entirely manageable. 

  • Healing time – Cartilage piercings generally take longer to heal than lobe piercings. For a double helix, full healing may take six to twelve months depending on after-care and individual body response. 

  • During healing – Expect some swelling, tenderness or mild discharge in early weeks. The outer appearance may look healed earlier, but internal healing continues. 


After-care for Your Double Helix Piercing

  • Clean the piercing twice daily with sterile saline solution or a gentle saline soak recommended by your piercer. 

  • Avoid sleeping on the pierced side, headphones that press on the cartilage, and tugging jewellery during hair styling.

  • Keep the area free of hair-snags, make-up sprays, perfumes and excessive contact.

  • Do not change the jewellery until your piercer gives the go-ahead (often after 3-6 months). Changing too early can delay healing or cause complications. 

  • Monitor for signs of infection (excess swelling, prolonged pain, unusual discharge) and contact your piercer or a medical professional if needed.


Jewellery & Styling for Your Double Helix Piercing

With your double helix piercing, there are many styling options:

  • Matching studs for a clean, minimalist look.

  • Small hoops or clickers for subtle movement and edge.

  • A mixed approach: e.g., one stud + one hoop to create contrast.

  • High-quality materials like surgical steel, titanium or solid gold to reduce allergic reactions and risk of rejection.

FAQs: Double Helix Piercing in Kollam

Q: Can I get both ear helixes done in one session?
A: Yes, typically you can do both ears in one session for a symmetrical double helix piercing in Kollam, but if you have any concerns about swelling or healing you may choose to do them separately.

Q: When can I switch jewellery?
A: Usually once your piercer confirms your double helix piercing in Kollam is sufficiently healed internally—commonly after 3-6 months, sometimes longer.
