Forward Helix piercing

FAQs Did it hurt? On a scale from 1-10, I would say it was about a six. It definitely did not feel like a pinch, I guess I just have a low pain tolerance. Why did you cry? I cried because I was SO nervous, not so much because of the pain. Everybody is different but don't let my reaction stop you from getting this piercing! What happened since you flinched/jumped at the end of the video? It wasn't aligned correctly so he had to pierce it again. How much did it cost? I've had this piercing done at two different places and it just depends on the place and the quality of the jewelry, but it ranges between $25 and $60. Don't forget to tip! How old do you have to be? Most places require you to be 18 or at least 16 with a parent or guardian (CA). How do you clean it? DO NOT TAKE IT OUT!! The forward helix piercing is notorious for getting infected just because it is a difficult area to clean. I keep my piercing clean by soaking it in warm salt water twice a day for about five minutes. This piercing can take up to a year to heal so you must be consistent!
