Is it better to get your helix in the left ear where you already have 1st 2nd and 3rd lobe or the right ear where you have a 1st and a tragus?

It depends on where you get the helix piercing and just personal preference. Another factor is what other ear piercings you plan to get. If you're worried about clutter on the left ear, just get the helix higher up and you'll be fine. I personally would get it on my right just to even things out. But if you don't care about balance, just get it on whichever you like!
