Faux Rook Piercing

🔹 What is a Rook Piercing?

A rook piercing is a cartilage piercing that goes through the anti-helix — the ridge of cartilage just above the tragus, located in the inner fold of your ear. It’s done vertically, so the jewelry sits tucked inside the ear fold, giving it a super cool, tucked-in appearance.

• Typically uses a curved barbell or small captive bead ring

• More subtle than helix or conch piercings, but still edgy

• Great for a curated, layered ear look

💥 Why You Should DEFINITELY Get a Rook Piercing

The rook piercing isn't just cool — it's strategically stylish. Here’s why it deserves a spot on your ear:

✅ Unique but Subtle

• It’s a piercing that stands out, without shouting.

• Most people don’t even know where the rook is — until they see yours and go “Ooh, I want that!”

✅ Adds Depth to a Curated Ear

• Perfect for people building an ear stack.

• It draws the eye inward and gives your ear dimension.

✅ Healing is Manageable

• Like all cartilage piercings, it takes time (~6–9 months), but rook piercings are less exposed than outer cartilage ones — so they’re less likely to get bumped or snagged.

✅ Jewelry Heaven

• From minimalist gold barbells to gems, opals, moons, spikes — rook jewelry is next-level pretty.

• You can keep it elegant or lean into bold looks.

✅ Great for All Genders

• Works with masculine, feminine, and androgynous styles. Clean or decorative — your call.
