Finally got the helix piercing!!! And honestly the pain was surprisingly very manageable? Idk why everyone said it would be like hell but it was actually fine. It was sore for the first 12 hours but settled completely after that.
So if there's ANYONE out there that wants to get a helix but is scared then please stop overthinking and just GO FOR ITTT
Some tips I could give you
Make sure that u are well hydrated and have eaten properly before getting a piercing or else u may feel dizzy.
Dont take any alcohol/ painkillers like aspirin, ibuprofen [NSAIDs] as this may lead to increased bleeding.
Get yourself a neckpillow!!! This is a life saver trust meee. It was so easy to sleep even on the first day because of this.
Get yourself some saline. This is non negotiable. Clean your piercing 3x a day in the beginning and then for 2x a day.
If you reallyyy need a painkiller then u can take paracetamol.
ICE PACK!! Especially during the first 48hours when the piercing is sore. Just for 10 mins some 2-3x a day.
