Studs like barbells are normally used for the helix and look beautiful alongside similar outer ear piercings in a fun cartilage combination.
The conch is named after the seashell due to its resemblance. The inner conch is where a stud goes right through the middle and the outer is where a hoop starts in the middle and hugs the outer edge of the ear. Eye catching studs or gemstone studded hoops work well with this piercing and looks nice next to lobe and helix piercings. The industrial piercing is impressive and sometimes a bit scary looking!
Rather than a singular piercing, the industrial is two piercings that go through different parts of the top ear cartilage. This style is characterised by a long bar which is secured by balls on either side of the ear.
The daith is next to the tragus and goes through the inner part of the cartilage. Think the little curve where the outer ear meets the inside. This piercing is great for midsized hoops or a simple barbell.
As it sits next to the tragus, the daith looks good next to it for extra layers. Some people have found this piercing gives them relief from migraines and get it done for this purpose. The rook is directly above the daith and next to the helix. This little ridge sits parallel to the outer rim and is like the daith, just higher up the ear.

In terms of healing time, the daith piercing takes around six to nine months on average. As with any new piercing, it is not encouraged to sleep on it until it's fully healed; however, compared to some outer-ear piercings, sleeping on a daith piercing within a couple of months is pretty common.
Helix piercings —piercings that are placed anywhere on the upper outer cartilage of the ear—are often the first choice when moving from the lobe.

The tragus , that tiny flap partially covering the ear canal, can add detail to any curated ear, especially when it's adorned with a pretty stud or snug hoop.

Because the tragus is there to protect the outer part of your ear canal, piercing through it, your post is going to be blocking where your earbuds go.
The conch , located in the middle portion of your ear cartilage, gets its moniker from its resemblance to the spiral shell of the same name. It's pretty versatile and can be pierced with a stud for a subtle effect, a double stud if you're feeling brave , or even a cuff that can hug its way around the edge of your ear. The pain threshold is similar to other cartilage piercings—four out of 10—and healing takes anywhere from three to nine months.
