The auricle piercing is one that is done on the outer rim of the ear. This piercing is commonly done and is very famous.

Ball closure rings are used to adorn the ear. However make sure that the piercing is not too very heavy or long that it hurts the ear.

Also make sure you take a form of jewelry that does not get stuck in hooks or clothes.

This earring is done on the cartilage and is very delicate. The cartilage has to constantly be cleaned and wiped. This has to be done to avoid any form of infection.

It takes nearly 2-3 weeks for this piercing to heal. Jewelry that is a millimeter thicker than the cartilage is the best choice.

As the cartilage is a delicate structure the placement of the jewelry, its thickness and the type of jewelry will greatly affect the recovery period of the piercing.

Using biocompatible jewelry is also a great option. Regular aftercare of the jewelry and the piercing will ensure faster healing.
