What is Tash Helix Piercing?
A popular form of body modification, Tash Helix piercing, or Tragus piercing, involves inserting a small piece of jewelry through the tragus, a small cartilage structure located directly in front of the ear canal, considered to be one of the most sensitive areas of the ear.
Tash Helix Piercings: A Safe and Popular Choice
We consider tash helix piercings to be relatively safe and easy to heal despite their delicate location, making them a popular choice among both first-time and experienced piercers. In this article, we explore the history, process, and aftercare of tash helix piercings as well as the different types of jewelry that can be worn in this piercing.
History of Tash Helix Piercings
We trace the history of tash helix piercing back to ancient civilizations. Both men and women adorned their ears with various forms of jewelry. In recent years, the popularity of tash helix piercings has surged. This is likely due to the growing trend of body modification and increasing acceptance of piercings and tattoos in mainstream society.
Process of Tash Helix Piercing
A piercer first cleans the area to be pierced with an antiseptic solution to prevent infection, then marks the area with a pen or marker to ensure proper placement. Finally, using a sterilized needle, the piercer creates a small hole in the tragus and inserts a small piece of jewelry, completing the Tash Helix piercing process.
Jewelry for Tash Helix Piercings
We commonly see small studs as the jewelry worn in a tash helix piercing.
Various materials such as stainless steel, titanium, or gold can make these studs.
People also choose to wear hoop earrings, which are larger and more visible than studs. Popular choices also include crescent-shaped barbells and captive bead rings.
Aftercares
Proper aftercare is crucial for tash helix piercings to heal properly and without complications. We recommend keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding touching or twisting the jewelry, cleaning the area with saline solution, and avoiding sleeping on the side of the piercing.
Conclusion
We conclude that tash helix piercings are popular and safe. They add a unique and stylish touch to anyone’s appearance. Proper care and maintenance ensure tash helix piercings are a beautiful and long-lasting addition to anyone’s body art collection. Always seek professional help and follow proper aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing without complications.
