If you're looking for a piercing that's going to turn heads, look no further than the rook.
The inner and outer rooks are both cartilage piercings on the upper portion of your ear. The inner rook is an inner cartilage on the upper part of the ear, while the outer rook is a small ridge of cartilage on the inner fold of your ear near your forward helix. Both areas can be great for stud earrings or other styles that have small openings.Â
A rook piercing is a good place for pretty, delicate pieces like curved barbells and thin gold hoops. Because of the amount of cartilage, healing can take up to 18 months. Solid gold pieces, like those available at Estella Collection, will keep your piercing clean and free from irritation.
Rook piercings are LA and NYCs hottest trend, touted by fashionistas like Kaia Gerber and Chantel Jeffries—so if you want to be ahead of fashion trends this fall, set up your piercing appointment now!
