I have over 20 piercings. Most are on my ears. I watch a lot of piercing content on youtube and I can honestly say this is the best video. Information is all accurate and well researched. Queeeeen!
Oh my goodness!! That means so much🥺💛thank you for watching and I’m so glad to hear that!
Have you got any advice, idk if I’m cleaning the crust off properly and it’s just swollen and its been almost a month
@@nicolapower2878 Go see your piercer for advice. Hope you get it resolved. (Jan Griffiths).

Just got my double foward helix done, and YES, SMILING DOES HURT A LOT
Right?!?! I didn’t expect that but it was very prominent 😅😂
It's been a month and I still have minor discomfort sometimes, it annoys me so much, but I love this piercing more
How is the healing? Is it similar to a mid/upper helix or is it better?
@@JM-pb5kv It lasts more or so the same as a mid/upper helix if you take care of it properly and leave it alone. Mine rejected because I moved it too much when cleaning it. Getting it done in a few months again.
Smiling hurts with just a single forward helix. And both sides. It dosen't last for long, thank goodness. Mine stopped hurting 2 weeks after piercing, and now don't hurt at all. They're almost a year old. (Jan Griffiths).
Omg, you are just like me. I need to absorb every piece of information before i do anything
Aw twins!!👯♀️💛✨yes I literally look evvvvverything up😂 I gotta stay informed and make sure there’s no funny business haha
Thank you for sharing. I watched a lot of piercing videos and your video is the only one that advises the preparation prior to getting pierced. It makes a lot of sense! I am getting my 2nd lobes and daith done soon.
I’m so glad to hear that!💛☺️I’m glad I could be of some help to you! If you post your piercings on IG you should tag me @julia_hoyes so I can see them!🤗
Thank you so much for this!! I’m getting my double forward helix pierced tomorrow and I had so many questions and you have answered them. Thank you!!
I’m so glad this was helpful for you!!!😇💛I tried to mention everything I had questions on before I got mine!✨I hope you love it!!!
If you post a picture of it on your IG or anything, you should tag me @julia_hoyes so I can see it!!🤗
So grateful for this video I’m nervous but I want it so bad ❤️. Thanks so much I’ll make sure I have a full Betty 😂😂. Ur super cute and informative . Glad I found your channel . ❤
I have 30 piercings including a single forward helix on my right ear and a triple forward helix on my left ear. I could have had a triple instead if a single on my right ear, but my ear piercings are not symmetrical by choice. I have had zero problems with any of them and none of them hurt (thank goodness for a high pain tolerance). Using Qtips to clean piercings is controversial, but I use them too. I love the spray. All my piercings are fully healed and I still use a travel pillow. I definitely agree with the advice to research your piercer. I adore mine.
I have ten piercings and going to get my tragus and industrial done soon. Great video with good info.
super informative! considering getting it myself, so thanks for this vid
You’re most welcome!😇I’m glad it was helpful! If you get it and post a pic, tag me so I can see!!💛✨
@@julia_zaniewski of course! and i got you, i definitely will 😌✨
Just got this done and GIRL I hope your healing process goes beautifully because the pain for me is serious 😂😂😂😂
Hago G Oh girl like I said, mine doesn’t hurt at all anymore!! It did hurt for a couple months... but you got this🙌🏽😤it’s so worth the pain of the healing process! When did you get it done?💛
@@julia_zaniewski last week lmfaoo thank you so much I hope!! i had to get the first one removed because he used the wrong jewelry.
@@Hoppinwithhago hey hun.....how is the healing? Or has it healed completely? I want to go get me a christmas 2x fwd helix. But I may not be able to greet n smile at ma fam during the holidays. Lmfao....ugh.
I love this video it was very informative I haven't been this excited about getting a peircing since I got my conch done i can't till I get my forward helix done.
I'm so glad it was helpful for you! Yes, I seriously love this piercing and I hope you do too! You'll have to check back in to let me know how it goes🥰Or you can send me a picture on IG (@julia_hoyes) so I can see it!! Thank you so much for watching, Shanikah!
this was so helpful omg
Gillian Murray oh yay I’m so glad to hear that!!!😇💛thank you so much for watching!!!
Just had a single forward helix piercing 5 days ago and didn't do ANY research, so your video was super helpful and reassuring after the fact! I had a little, tiny bit of buyers remorse a couple days after, but I'm really liking it now. Anxious for it to heal now, so I can stop being aware of it and so I can get it changed for a flatter earring. I'm going to wait an entire year though, so I guess I'm in for the long haul!
Hehe it’s worth the wait for the healing time in the long run🥰 I’m so glad this video was helpful for you! Thank you so much for watching!!!
@@julia_zaniewski I agree. My singles are almost a year old, and still have the same jewelry in them. Pretty much healed, but I want them to season before I switch jewelry. (Jan Griffiths).
You gave good sound advice. I like that. Most people do not. Your double is very cute, and looks great on you. I have both of mine done, but only singles. I didn't have enough room for any more. I originally wanted a triple as well. But one is better than none, I guess. Mine brought my piercing count up to 30, are almost a year old now, and pretty much healed. (Jan Griffiths).
Yay I’m glad you enjoyed the video!☺️And singles are honestly so pretty😍Can’t lie that I’ve thought about taking the top one out lol😂
I've had mine for 4 years but I'm just watching a bunch of forward helix videos
Well thank you so much for watching!! 🤗💖
Yesss smiling hurtsss!!
Right?! How long ago did you get pierced? I'm so glad it eventually went away... I honestly completely forget I have the piercing now!🤗💛
@@julia_zaniewski I got it last Sunday, the day before I commented this 😂 I also noticed how it’d start hurting even if I smiled in my head, never knew my ear moved as a reflex like that looll
It doesn’t hurt so much anymore, I’ve been taking care of it so 😁
Amazing 👏
thank you so much for watching 🥰
thankyou so much for this, i got my foward helix a couple of hours ago and i’m in sooooo much pain
Shanaye Reid My pleasure!!!🤗💛I hope this video was helpful for you! The pain won’t last forever🤪
Mine was so painful! The most painful one I have! Smiling hurtsss tho
@@owlluver999 yesss omg that was the worst. i’ve had mine for over a year and it’s probably my favourite but omg i could never do another one. getting the jewellery in was worse hahaha
@@owlluver999 hey hun.....how'd the healing go? I'm so scared but I want a 2x so bad.
I love ur personality I just know we could be good friends lol. Also, THIS IS THE BEST INFO VID IVE SEEN ON PEIRCINGS thank you queen❤️
Aww that is so sweet thank you😇💛I love making new friends!!☺️Thank you so much for watching, I’m glad this was helpful!!
Hi Julia, I just had my second double-forward helix done about 3 weeks ago. I bought the same aftercare solution spray. But I was told (and the pamphlet they gave me also says) that you should not spray it directly on your piercings. You need to spray the Q-tip swab and then apply that to the front and back of each piercing. So, a total of 4 Q-tips are to be used (2 for the front and 2 for the back). This prevents contamination between the piercings.
Oh that's. good to know! My piercing place specifically told me to spray right onto my ear and the bottle gave the same instructions! I guess just take whatever advice your piercing place gives you and/or whatever works best for you!🤗💛
I'd be careful with q tips... Don't wanna get cotton in your new piercings!
q tips hurts 😭 i don't really used it directly on my piercing, just to dry the area and i'm scared abt the cotton fibers and stuff . and i just spray the aftercare solution directly on my piercings. how's your healing now?
@@vel6475 I'm not scared the cotton on the q-tips will get caught on my piercings. When I spray each one (1 for front & 1 for back) the q-tips are saturated. Besides you're only gently dabbing it over your piercings. I've never had a problem with it getting caught on my piercings. Also, my piercer told me spraying the solution directly on your piercings can cause contamination from the sprayback from ear back to the solution can. My piercings from almost a year ago are just about healed. I just scheduled another appointment for a helix piercing next month. It's become a birthday tradition for the last several years.
I have 30 piercings and I have always srayed directly on my piercings (after I started using spray). Never had an infected piercing.
Great video! How long was it until you could sleep on that side? And when could you change the jewelry?
It was probably a couple months before I could sleep on it without it hurting! But like I briefly mentioned in the video, if I ever wanted to sleep on that side I just placed my hand along the side of my face so the pressure wasn’t on my piercings!🤗It’s also probably a few months before you can change the jewelry… I haven’t changed mine yet, but I’d love to get something new! Thank you for watching💛
Your video is super helpful
I’m so glad!!🤗💛thank you for watching!
I can't do a triple forward helix on my right ear because of the position my rook is at. My piercer explained that if we tried the middle gem wouldn't sit right and would always flop out, but that I could fit a double.
Turns out I do have the correct anatomy for a triple on my left ear though.
Your double looks great though!
Hi Emily! Did you end up getting it on your left ear? Thank you so much for watching🥰🤎
Smiling hurts with a new industrial piercing too lol and omg the pain the day after the piercing was the worst 😭
right?! oh man I can't even imagine with an industrial too! I bet that HURTS! thank you for watching!😇✨
Neilmed aftercare spray is the best. I have a few cans of it at home myself (I bought it wholesale). I wish it had been around back in the day. I clean all piercings twice daily, no matter how old they are. Can't be too careful. (Jan Griffiths)
I have nothing to compare it to but I’ve had no issues with it so it gets my stamp of approval, too!!☺️Thank you so much for watching!
I want a triple so bad or a double even but I dont know if I can stand the pain. Had my tragus done over a month ago and it has never hurt. It's like it's not even there. I have a conch to do and I know I'm gonna love the forward helix so much. But the pain of it all....😔😔😔😔 thanks for sharing this vid. It sure has helped.
I have heard that the conch is the most painful! So if you could stand that, you can definitely get the helix🥰Did you end up getting it since you first posted this comment? Thank you so much for watching!!!
@@julia_zaniewski omg.....no conch! No frwd helix either. I've been. Waiting on my cuzn to come n help me. I know I can do it my self but I'm a lil scared. But any day now. Or I may just book it and the shop n go get it done. (Conch)
♡♡♡
I JUST GOT MINE 4 DAYS AGO AND I LOVE IT. AND YES LAUGHING, SMILING HURTS LOL . and im the kind of a person who can't hold a laugh so it's really uncomfortable.
Oh yay I'm glad you love it!!🤗 Yes, it definitely hurts a lot at first but it will get better!💖I don't notice it at all anymore! Thank you so much for watching, Rayvel!
I love you girl and you are right i have my tragus pierced and i slept just like that withe a hand under my face next to my ear 😂🥰
Okay good so I'm not the only one who did that 😂😂😂😂 you gotta do what you gotta do lol!!! Thank you so much for watching! 🤎✨
So I got triples on both ears. I barely felt it. It was so quick. My issue is with getting jewelry for it. I got it pierced at 20g and find it impossible to get jewelry. I'm wondering if I need to stretch it to 18g or 16g?
Hi! Sorry for my late response💛I would definitely go see a professional piercer to get their opinion!🤗
Have you changed the jewelry yet? if so, do you just use regular studs like you would in a lobe piercing or is there a specific type of jewelry for the forward helix?
I have not changed the jewelry yet! It is a different type of jewelry... at least for mine, so I will have to go into a shop to get specific jewelry that fits!🤗I hope this was helpful!
Please, What is the piercing size?
What is the earliest your piercer said you can change your jewelry out for new jewelry or shorter bars etc? My piercer didn't give me that inormation😔😔😔
Hi there!! I’m honestly not 100% and I don’t want to give wrong information! I’d call a jeweler (honestly any piercing/tattoo place) and just ask them their recommendation!☺️Hope this helps!!🤍✨
Nice video! Do you know if it hurts with glasses? I'm thinking about getting it but i'm scared my glasses would ruined it
Hi! I don't wear glasses, so I can't fully speak on this! I'd imagine that it might hurt a bit, but honestly you're going to be in pain regardless if you have glasses or not while it's healing😂So I would say it's worth it! Once it heals, glasses won't hurt! I do know that from wearing sunglasses hehe😇Thank you so much for watching!
My response is probably too late, but I just got my forward helix pierced and I wear glasses everyday. My glasses doesn't bother it at all so you are good!
Just got mine done last week and smiling does really make it hurt but so does eating because of the chewing🤔 hopefully this pain will stop soon.
Yes!!! I forgot that eating would hurt because our ears move while we chew😭 How is it feeling now? Thank you so much for watching my video! 🤎
Does it still hurt? How has the healing process been?
Doesn’t hurt anymore🤗Healing was slow but worth it!! Thanks for watching!💛
I just got mines done and the lower one’s backing fell off. Now it’s swollen and I can’t see the back? Take it out or leave it and go back to the lady who did it?
Oh my goodness I'm so sorry I am just now seeing this!!! Were you able to get it fixed??? I would have gone back to the lady for sure just to be safe.💖🤗
@@julia_zaniewski I put another longer earring and it worked! I did go back to he thought to get a longer earring because hers was too short and didn’t allow for swelling. I now know better for next time. Thank you so much for answering lovely!
I just got my forward helix, conch, daith and helix. Idk how I'm going to sleep with both ears done. Fmllllll save my soul. So many regrets doing both sides lol
Oh my goodness that's a lot all at once! I bet your ears were not loving you😂 Have you been able to use a travel pillow to help with sleeping?
@@julia_zaniewski yes thanks so much ♡
How is it now? I would like to get both ears but I think my piercer advises against because of the trouble with sleeping.
@@Aliciae411 it's still not healed. Its crusting still and theres the dreaded piercing bump but it's a lot better than it was.
I got this one done on tuesday and it’s currently swollen AF 😩 hurts so much and I don’t know what to do
Oh no! I’m sorry I just saw this! How is it doing now? Did you get it checked for infection?
@@julia_zaniewski omg thanks for the reply! It went down in 3 days thanks to lots of salt cleaning and cooling! Now I have a piercing bump tho and I have no clue how to get rid of it 🤦♀️ Never had one before with my other piercings.. I guess this is just my unlucky one
@@shirleyrooyackers8397 well I’m so glad to hear it went down and is doing better!!! 🤗💛
@@julia_zaniewski yes same! It really hurt! Any tips to get rid of bumps?
@@shirleyrooyackers8397 applying tea tree oil helped me get rid of the bump!
how long did it hurt when smiling?
I can't remember exactly... but I know it hurt for several weeks, maybe even close to two months. It did fade as time went by so it wasn't unbearable! I hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching🤗💖
I couldn't get three as well because of this
Did you go ahead and get two as well?💛🤗I was lowkey disappointed but I trusted the piercer haha
@@julia_zaniewski yeah I did, going on day 6
@@nicolettehadley7098 how was your experience and how is the healing coming along?
@@yolandejackson4089 healing is good no problems, still cleaning it everyday. Itches sometimes though which gets annoying because you can't do anything about it lol.
Update. The piercer messed up and the hole wasn't made far enough into my ear. The waring just simply fell through the hole and now I only have one piercing. Very disappointed
How much was it
I don't remember the exact price... somewhere around $80 maybe? It really depends on where you go and which jewelry you choose.🤗💛
What length is the barbell?
I’m honestly not sure! I’m sorry!!
How old do you have to be?
sofia solis I could be wrong (so someone correct me if I am😂), as long as a parent/guardian goes with you and gives you permission you can get it at any age. But if you go alone and you’re under 18 (?) you probably can’t get pierced!!🤗I hope this helps!
Julia Hoyes thank you so much!😄❤️
total healing time?
I don't remember exactly to be quite honest! I never had issues with infections... but it was a few months before the pain completely went away! I'm sorry that is so vague 😂 thank you so much for watching! 🤎✨
I've read on good old Google that cartilage piercings take between 3 months to a year to heal. And 3 months is the absolute minimum. I'm gonna give myself a whole year 😆
@@shannon_d_r that’s a great idea, that way if it heals in a shorter time you’ll be extra grateful 😂🫶🏽
God loves you
Thank you!☺️He loves you too!❤️
I just got a double done today I wanted a triple but my anatomy was the same
Do you like it? I was disappointed too that I couldn't get triple, but I am still in love with the double after having it for so long🤗💖thank you for watching!
