Rooks are a sneaky and fun piercing, tucked up next to the forward helix. They are pierced vertically, and can have curved bars or rings in once healed.
Rooks are anatomically dependent, so we do require a consultation to assess whether a rook piercing will heal successfully on your ear.
Sleeping on the piercing isn’t recommended while healing as it will drastically reduce your success rate, as well as increasing your chance of scarring. Because of this, we will not perform a cartilage piercing on your ear, if you have a piercing healing on the opposite side.
