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 are rook piercings done?
A rook piercing is done by a professional body piercer using a sterile needle. The piercer will clean the area, mark the placement of the piercing, and then use a needle to create the hole for the jewelry to be inserted. It is important to care for the piercing properly to prevent infection and promote healing.
How long will it take a Rook piercing to close after being pierced for over two years?
The closure time of a Rook piercing after being pierced for over two years can vary depending on individual factors such as skin elasticity, scar tissue formation, and jewelry size. Generally, cartilage piercings like the Rook can close relatively quickly compared to other piercings due to the lack of blood flow to the area. However, after two years, the piercing may start to close more slowly as the tissue has fully healed and adapted to the presence of the jewelry. It's recommended to consult with a professional piercer or healthcare provider for personalized advice on Rook piercing closure.
How old do you have to be to get a rook piercing?
You have to be 13 years of age with parents consent.
What is the best jewelry for a rook piercing?
A curved barbell is the most common form of rook jewelry. Also used is a circular barbell, also called a horseshoe barbell. I recommend getting your rook pierced with a curved barbell because it does not move as much which leads to a smaller risk of infection. While getting a circular barbell may seem ideal, because it theoretically leaves room for swelling, it actually causes more infection because by sliding around it drags bacteria in and out of your ear. Also, piercers generally will place a longer curved barbell in a new piercing to allow for swelling room, so swelling shouldn't be a factor in determining which type of jewelry to use for the healing time. Once your piercing is all healed, any type of jewelry mentioned already would be perfect and it's up to the wearer when healing is all complete. Hope this helps! :]
What does rook piercing stand for?
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)
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.
How long will it take a rook piercing to close up?
It depends on how long you've had it in previously. It could take anywhere from (when you have just got it done) 1 day - 2 weeks.
Can you put belly bars or labrets in a cartilage piercing?
You can use labrets in them but not navel jewelry. The curved jewelry doesn't really look right and its an uneven weight. If the threading and gauge match, you can take a ball or dangle from the navel jewelry and put it on the end of the labret bar.
What size piercing should you get when piercing your rook?
A rook piercing is most commonly a 16 gauge piercing. Although, depending on the ear, it can be done one smaller or larger.
How long does it take for a rook piercing to close?
Depends on your body, the size of the piercing, and how old the piercing heals. Everyone's different so theres no way for me to give you an accurate length of time for that. If you want it to close, you can try massaging it with vitamin E or jojoba oil to speed things up :)
