The word rook does not mean anything I don't think. A rook piercing is located on the ear. Where your cartalidge ends and it is that little (hard you cant move it) flap of skin between the ear cartalidge and your tragus (that hard flap of skin on the inside of your ear in front of the hole)

What piercing hurts more- tragus or rook?
The tragus piercing has a smaller cartillage when pierced while the rook piercing has a bigger cartilage. So rook has to be the much more painful type of ear piercing.
If I have my industrial and tragus done on one ear and my rook on the other what is the best choice for another piercing on the same one as my rook?
Consider a Helix Crus / Daith piercing or you may want to consider an Antitragus piercing to compliment the rook piercing.
How old do you have to be to get a rook piercing?
You have to be 13 years of age with parents consent.
Does a Rook piercing close faster than a Tragus piercing?
No, that's wrong. Cartilage takes about a year to heal completely. I had my rook done a month and a half ago and I changed it. And then it got infected:/ Kinda sad. Anyways, my rook also closed in about 10 minutes cause I had to take it out.
What size piercing should you get when piercing your rook?

How are rook piercings done?
Rook piercings are done the same as any professionally provided body piercing. Your local professional body piercer will be able to explain the procedure when you book your appointment.
Does a rook piercing rejects?
No rook or any cartilage piercing for that matter will not reject or migrate because it's held in place by the cartilage it self. It will get annoyed and cranky if you are using aftercare products that are reacting to your body. So stop using all the woo woo magic stuff and just flush the piercing with lots of warm water daily and see if the piercing settles down. If it does then you were reacting to the aftercare stuff and the mystery is solved.
Will your two month old rook piercing close if it has to be out 6 or 7 hours for a surgery?
It may but you can always get the piercing tapered open again so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
What age is safe for rook piercing?
Can you get your rook re pierced after it was rejected?
It's not common for a properly done Rook piercing to reject. Due to this piercing being done in deep cartilage, the piercing should not reject (the cartilage won't let it reject). More often that not the problem is the method used to look after the piercing or the solutions used to heal the piercing (generally too much and not properly rinsed out). I would suggest you seek the expert advice of your local professional body piercer. They would need to see what you have going on with the piercing location. If there is enough tissue that isn't damaged they should be able to repierce the area.
What is the legal Age for rook piercing?

How long after you get a rook piercing can you change the jewelry?
